Kitchen sink drains slow or stands full of water
We run a camera to find the clog, then hydro jet the line. The high-pressure water removes grease and food particles. Most sinks drain normally within an hour. We also check the p-trap for leaks.

About this service
What Hydro Jetting in Melrose Park, Illinois Actually Does
Hydro jetting in Melrose Park, Illinois is a drain cleaning method that uses a high-pressure water stream, usually 3,000 to 4,000 PSI, to strip grease, sludge, and scale off the inside of your drain pipe. A flexible hose with a forward and rear-facing nozzle goes into the line through the p-trap or a cleanout. The water blasts the clog apart and flushes the debris away, so the pipe comes back to close to its original diameter.
Most Melrose Park calls we run start the same way: a slow draining sink that turns into standing water after a few days. Older homes near Broadway Avenue and 25th Avenue often have decades of grease clog and soap scum buildup lining the pipe. A plunger or drain snake punches a channel through that gunk, and the clog returns in weeks. Hydro jetting removes the buildup itself, which is why we recommend it for recurring kitchen sink clogs and main sewer line issues.

What's included
What Our Hydro Jetting Service Includes
Every hydro jetting job includes a camera inspection, the jetting itself, and a post-service flow test. We also clean up and walk you through what we found. Here is what is covered.
✓
Drain Camera Inspection
We run a drain camera down the line before we jet. You see the footage on our monitor. This tells us the clog type, pipe material, and any damage. It takes 10 to 15 minutes.
✓
High-Pressure Jetting
We use a hydro jetting machine at 3,000 to 4,000 PSI to scour the pipe walls. The nozzle pulls itself through the line, blasting grease, sludge, and scale. Most kitchen sinks clear in 20 to 40 minutes.
✓
Post-Service Camera Check
After jetting, we run the camera again to confirm the pipe is clean. You see the before and after. If we spot a p-trap leak or crack, we show you and explain your options.
✓
Flow Test
We fill the sink and let it drain. We run the garbage disposal unit and dishwasher drain line. This confirms everything flows properly. We do not leave until we know the line is clear.
✓
Cleanup
We put down drop cloths before we start. After we finish, we clean up the work area and put the p-trap back. We haul away any debris. Your kitchen is left as we found it, just with a working drain.
How it works
Our Hydro Jetting Process, Step by Step
01
Inspection
We pull the p-trap or open the cleanout and run a drain camera down the line. You see the footage on the monitor. We identify the clog type, pipe material, and any cracks or root intrusion. This takes 10 to 15 minutes and tells us the right pressure to use.
02
Setup
We lay down drop cloths, put on gloves, and position the hydro jetting machine near the cleanout or sink opening. We check the pipe sealant and connections to make sure the line can handle the pressure. Setup takes about 10 minutes.
03
Jetting
We feed the hose into the line and start the water. The nozzle pulls itself forward, blasting grease, sludge, and scale off the pipe walls. Most kitchen sink lines clear in 20 to 40 minutes. Main sewer lines can take 45 to 60 minutes.
04
Camera Check
After jetting, we run the drain camera again to confirm the pipe is clean. You see the before and after on screen. If we spot a p-trap leak or a cracked section, we show you and explain your options before we leave.
05
Flow Test
We fill the sink and let it drain. We run the garbage disposal unit and the dishwasher drain line to make sure everything flows. Then we clean up, put the p-trap back, and walk you through what we found.
Tools & methods
Tools and Methods We Use for Hydro Jetting
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians — so the job is done accurately the first time.
Hydro Jetting Machine
We use Spartan Tool and General Pipe Cleaners hydro jetting machines. They deliver 3,000 to 4,000 PSI of water pressure to scour the pipe walls. We adjust the pressure based on pipe material and condition.
Drain Camera
We use RIDGID drain cameras to inspect the line before and after jetting. You see the footage on our monitor. This helps us find the clog and confirm the pipe is clean.
Drain Snake and Auger
For clogs close to the sink, we use a drain snake or auger. We carry RIDGID and Milwaukee augers. If the clog is deeper, we switch to hydro jetting.
Pipe Wrench and Plumber's Tape
We use a pipe wrench to remove the p-trap and access the drain line. We use plumber's tape on threaded connections to prevent leaks when we put it back.
Bucket and Gloves
We place a bucket under the p-trap to catch water and debris. We wear gloves to keep the job clean and safe. We also use drop cloths to protect your floor.
Real results
Before and after.
Grease Clog in a Melrose Park Home
Before
A homeowner on 19th Avenue had a kitchen sink that drained slow for months. Plunging helped for a day or two. The sink was full of standing water. We ran a camera and found a thick grease clog lining the pipe.
After
We hydro jetted the line at 3,500 PSI. The grease clog broke apart and flushed away. The camera showed a clean pipe. The sink now drains in seconds. The job took 45 minutes.
Restaurant Kitchen Drain Backup
Before
A restaurant in Melrose Park Industrial Park had a kitchen drain that backed up during dinner service. Grease and food particles had built up over months. The staff was using a plunger between orders.
After
We hydro jetted the line after closing. The grease and food particles flushed out. We ran a camera to confirm the line was clear. The restaurant has not had a backup since. We set up quarterly maintenance.
Main Sewer Line Clog from Roots
Before
A home in Winston Park had sewage backing up into the basement. The homeowner called us on a Sunday. We ran a camera and found roots intruding into the main sewer line. The line was partially blocked.
After
We hydro jetted the line to cut through the roots. The water flowed freely. We ran the camera again to confirm. The backup stopped. We recommended a follow-up to address the root intrusion.

Hydro jet drain cleaning uses high-pressure water, typically 3,000 to 4,000 PSI, to scour the inside of your drain pipe. A hose with a special nozzle goes into the line and blasts away grease, sludge, and scale. It is different from snaking because it cleans the whole pipe wall, not just a channel through the clog.
Yes, for most pipes in good condition. We run a drain camera first to check pipe material and look for cracks or root intrusion. If your pipes are clay, cast iron, or PVC and structurally sound, hydro jetting is safe. If we find damage, we adjust the pressure or recommend a repair before jetting.
For a home kitchen sink, once every 12 to 18 months is typical if you cook often or have a history of grease clogs. Restaurants and commercial kitchens in Melrose Park usually need it every 3 to 6 months. If your sink drains slow again within a few weeks, that is a sign you need jetting more often.
