Your Drains Flow Like New Again

You know that sinking feeling when water backs up again just weeks after you paid for drain cleaning. Regular snaking only pokes holes through blockages—it doesn’t remove them. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to completely scour your pipes clean. We’re talking about 4,000 PSI of focused water pressure that strips away grease buildup, cuts through tree roots, and removes debris that’s been accumulating for years. The result? Drains that flow like they did when your pipes were new. Most customers don’t have another clog for 2-3 years after hydro jetting, compared to the 3-6 months you might get from traditional snaking.

Hydro Jetting Process Explained

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your drain with a camera to see exactly what we’re dealing with—tree roots, grease, debris, or pipe damage. This tells us the right pressure settings and approach for your specific situation. Next, we insert a specialized hose with a multi-directional nozzle into your drain. High-pressure water (up to 4,000 PSI) blasts in all directions, scouring the pipe walls completely clean while flushing everything toward the main sewer line. The entire process typically takes 1-2 hours depending on the severity of the blockage. You’ll see immediate results—water flowing freely again—and most pipes stay clear for years afterward. We’ll show you the before and after with our camera so you can see exactly what we removed.

What You Get With Our Service

Every hydro jetting service includes camera inspection before and after cleaning, so you know exactly what condition your pipes are in. We handle everything from residential kitchen and bathroom drains to larger commercial and storm drain systems throughout Locke. Our equipment removes tree roots, grease buildup, soap scum, food debris, and mineral deposits that regular drain snaking can’t touch. We’re equipped for emergency drain service 24/7, because a backed-up drain at 2 AM is still a backed-up drain that needs fixing. In Locke’s older neighborhoods, we often find pipes that haven’t been properly cleaned in decades. Tree roots from the area’s mature landscaping frequently infiltrate sewer lines, and our hydro jetting equipment cuts through them completely rather than just poking holes like traditional snaking methods.

How much does hydro jetting cost compared to regular drain snaking?

Hydro jetting typically costs 2-3 times more than basic drain snaking upfront, but it’s actually more economical long-term. Regular snaking might cost $150-200 but only lasts 3-6 months before clogs return. Hydro jetting usually runs $300-600 depending on the severity and location of the blockage, but most customers don’t need another cleaning for 2-3 years. When you factor in the repeat service calls you’d need with snaking, hydro jetting often costs less per year. We provide written estimates before starting work, so you know exactly what you’re paying before we begin the service.

Will hydro jetting damage my old pipes?

Professional hydro jetting is safe for most pipe materials when done correctly, but this is why camera inspection comes first. We check your pipe condition and adjust pressure accordingly—older cast iron or clay pipes get different treatment than newer PVC. Our technicians are trained to recognize when pipes are too fragile for high-pressure cleaning. In those cases, we’ll recommend alternative methods or discuss pipe replacement options if needed. The water pressure is controlled and directed—we’re not just blasting water randomly. The nozzle design ensures cleaning action goes toward the pipe walls and flows downstream, not back toward your home.

How long does the hydro jetting process take?

Most residential hydro jetting jobs take 1-2 hours from start to finish, including the initial camera inspection and final verification that everything’s flowing properly. More severe blockages or longer pipe runs might take 3-4 hours. Commercial or storm drain cleaning can take longer depending on the system size and complexity. We’ll give you a time estimate when we assess the situation, and we won’t leave until your drains are flowing freely. Emergency calls get priority scheduling—we understand that backed-up drains can’t wait until it’s convenient for everyone else.

What types of blockages can hydro jetting remove?

Hydro jetting removes virtually any organic blockage—grease, food debris, soap scum, hair, tree roots, and mineral buildup. It’s particularly effective on the stubborn clogs that keep coming back after regular snaking. Tree roots are a common problem in Locke’s established neighborhoods, and hydro jetting cuts through them completely rather than just poking holes. It also strips away the grease buildup that accumulates on pipe walls over years of use. The only things hydro jetting can’t handle are solid objects (toys, jewelry) or structural pipe problems like collapsed sections. That’s why we always start with camera inspection to see exactly what we’re dealing with.

Do you offer emergency hydro jetting services?

Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency hydro jetting services throughout Locke and surrounding areas. Drain emergencies don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we. Emergency calls typically get same-day or next-morning response depending on the time you call and our current schedule. We carry hydro jetting equipment on our emergency service trucks, so we can often resolve the problem in one visit. Emergency service rates apply for after-hours calls, but we’ll give you the exact pricing before starting work. No surprise fees or charges that mysteriously appear on your bill.

How often should I have hydro jetting done?

Most residential customers need hydro jetting every 2-3 years, but it depends on your usage patterns and what goes down your drains. Homes with garbage disposals, large families, or frequent entertaining might need service more often. Commercial properties or restaurants typically need annual hydro jetting due to higher grease and debris volume. Properties with mature trees nearby might need more frequent service due to root infiltration. We’ll recommend a maintenance schedule based on what we find during your initial service. Regular maintenance is always cheaper than emergency calls, and it prevents the inconvenience of backed-up drains at the worst possible times.
