Understanding Hydro Jetting Technology
Hydro jetting represents the most effective method for cleaning pipes and sewer lines, using high-pressure water streams to remove blockages, grease buildup, tree roots, and debris that traditional drain cleaning methods cannot address. This advanced cleaning technology utilizes specialized equipment that generates water pressure ranging from 1,500 to 4,000 PSI, delivered through flexible hoses and precision nozzles designed for specific cleaning applications.
The process works by inserting a high-pressure hose equipped with a specialized jetting nozzle into the affected pipe through an access point such as a cleanout or drain opening. The nozzle directs pressurized water streams forward and backward simultaneously, cutting through blockages while flushing debris downstream. This thorough cleaning action removes accumulated grease, mineral deposits, soap scum, hair, food waste, and other materials that cause recurring drainage problems.
Unlike mechanical drain cleaning methods that simply punch holes through blockages, hydro jetting completely removes debris and buildup from the pipe walls, restoring pipes to nearly their original capacity. This thorough cleaning prevents rapid re-clogging while extending the time between required maintenance services. The process is safe for most pipe materials and provides long-lasting results, making it the preferred choice for addressing serious drainage problems.

Professional hydro jetting is performed through existing access points like cleanouts and drain openings, typically requiring no excavation or landscape disruption. Our technicians use protective measures to prevent water damage to surrounding areas while containing any debris or runoff generated during cleaning operations. Proper planning and preparation protect your property while providing thorough cleaning of underground pipe systems.
What should we expect during the hydro jetting process?
The service begins with a system assessment and video inspection to evaluate pipe condition and locate blockages, followed by equipment setup and safety preparation. During cleaning operations, you may hear water flow and equipment noise, but the process typically does not disrupt normal property activities. We explain each step of the process and coordinate with property occupants to minimize any inconvenience during service operations.
How do we know if hydro jetting worked effectively?
Following cleaning operations, we perform flow testing and final inspection to verify complete blockage removal and proper drainage function. Video camera inspection documents cleaning results and confirms that all debris has been removed from the pipe system. Immediate improvement in drainage speed and elimination of backup problems demonstrate successful cleaning, while our documentation verifies service effectiveness.

What happens to the debris removed during hydro jetting?
All debris and removed materials are contained and collected during the cleaning process, then transported to approved disposal facilities in compliance with environmental regulations. Organic materials are processed through appropriate waste management systems, while any hazardous materials receive specialized handling according to regulatory requirements. We provide documentation of proper disposal that demonstrates environmental compliance and regulatory adherence.
How much does professional hydro jetting cost in East Chicago?
