Hydro jetting is one of the most effective ways to clear tough clogs and restore your sewer line. By blasting high-pressure water into your pipes, our hydro jetting plumbers can cut through grease, sludge, scale, and even intrusive tree roots. Think of it like power washing the inside of your drains.
At Arnold & Sons Plumbing, we’ve shared the benefits of hydro jetting with Central Illinois homeowners since 1988. If you know you need hydro jet drain cleaning, schedule it by calling us at (309) 691-8291 or contacting us online. Keep reading to learn more about hydro jetting and the situations in which it is most useful.
Signs You Need Hydro Jet Drain Cleaning
Hydro jetting isn’t only for major emergencies. Many homeowners and businesses call us when they notice the following warning signs:
- Drains that clog or slow repeatedly, even after snaking
- Unpleasant sewer odors in your home or yard
- Gurgling or bubbling sounds when water is running
- Sewage backups affecting multiple fixtures at once
If you recognize any of these issues, it’s time to consider hydro jetting. For smaller clogs, our drain cleaning services may be all you need, but for recurring or stubborn problems, hydro jetting provides a deeper and longer-lasting solution.
How Hydro Jetting Works
Hydro jetting may sound technical, but the process is straightforward and designed to protect your plumbing while delivering a deep clean. Here’s what happens when you schedule the service with Arnold & Sons.
First, we perform a camera inspection of your sewer line. This step lets us see exactly what’s causing the problem and ensures your pipes are in good enough condition for high-pressure cleaning.
Once we confirm the line is safe, we insert a flexible hose with a specially designed nozzle into the pipe. The nozzle releases a powerful stream of water, typically around 3,000 to 3,500 PSI. This is strong enough to cut through grease, scale, and even small root intrusions.
Different nozzles allow us to target different problems:
- Forward-facing jets break up tough blockages.
- Rotary nozzles spin to scrub pipe interiors.
- Rear-facing jets flush debris back through the line.
Together, these nozzle types ensure your pipes aren’t just cleared, but fully cleaned. Once the jetting is complete, we conduct a post-inspection to confirm everything is flowing as it should.
If, during inspection, we discover damage that makes hydro jetting unsafe, we’ll recommend alternatives such as Bio-Clean treatments or professional sewer repair.
Hydro Jetting vs. Snaking
Snaking is a quick and useful method for simple, localized clogs. But when buildup coats the inside of your sewer line, it doesn’t go far enough. Hydro jetting, by contrast, thoroughly scrubs the pipe walls so clogs don’t return as quickly.
Here’s how the two methods compare:
- Snaking: Best for isolated blockages; limited cleaning effect.
- Hydro Jetting: Restores full pipe diameter by washing away grease, scale, and debris.
If you’ve tried snaking with little success, it’s time to schedule professional hydro jetting with Arnold & Sons. For more information on related cleaning methods, see our sewer cleaning services.
