Hydro Jetting Drain Cleaning Process

How We Actually Clear Your Drains

First, we inspect your drain system to see exactly what we’re dealing with. Sometimes it’s a simple clog near the surface. Sometimes it’s years of buildup coating your pipes. We use video inspection when needed so we know the real problem, not just the symptoms.

Next, we choose the right method for your specific situation. For tough clogs and buildup, we use hydro jetting—high-pressure water that scours your pipes clean from the inside out. For simpler problems, traditional drain cleaning tools work fine. We’re not going to oversell you on services you don’t need.

After we clear the blockage, we test everything to make sure water flows properly throughout your system. You’ll see the difference immediately. We also let you know if we found any issues that could cause problems later, so you can decide what makes sense for your situation.

We typically respond to emergency drain cleaning calls within 1-2 hours, depending on the time of day and current service calls. True emergencies—like sewage backups or completely blocked main drains—get priority scheduling. We understand that some drain problems can’t wait, especially when they’re affecting your ability to use your kitchen or bathroom. When you call, we’ll give you a realistic timeframe and keep you updated if anything changes.
Regular drain cleaning uses mechanical tools like drain snakes to break through clogs and remove blockages. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to completely scour the inside of your pipes, removing not just clogs but also buildup, grease, and debris that regular cleaning leaves behind. If you’re dealing with recurring clogs or slow drains that keep coming back, hydro jetting usually provides a more thorough, longer-lasting solution. We’ll recommend the method that makes the most sense for your specific situation.
Basic drain cleaning for simple clogs typically ranges from $150-$300, depending on the location and severity of the blockage. More complex jobs requiring hydro jetting or extensive clearing can range from $300-$600. We always provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying. The final cost depends on factors like the type of drain, accessibility, and the method needed to solve your specific problem.
While we can’t prevent every possible clog, proper drain cleaning significantly reduces the likelihood of future blockages. Hydro jetting, in particular, removes the buildup that causes most recurring drain problems. We also provide practical advice about what not to put down your drains and can set up preventive maintenance schedules for properties that experience frequent issues. Most customers find that professional drain cleaning extends the time between problems from months to years.
Yes, we provide drain cleaning services for both residential homes and commercial properties throughout Shrewsbury and the surrounding area. Commercial jobs often require more extensive equipment and different scheduling to minimize business disruption, but we’re equipped to handle everything from restaurant grease traps to office building main lines. We understand that commercial drain problems can affect your ability to serve customers, so we prioritize quick response times for business emergencies.
Stop using the affected drain immediately to prevent further backup or overflow. If you’re dealing with sewage backup, avoid contact with the water and keep family members and pets away from the area. Don’t use chemical drain cleaners, as they can make the problem worse and create safety hazards for our technicians. If water is overflowing, try to contain it with towels or buckets, but don’t attempt to force the blockage yourself. We’ll walk you through any immediate steps when you call.
