Hydro Jetting Services
High-Pressure Drain & Sewer Cleaning — serving East Chicago and Northwest Indiana homes and businesses.
Overview
When a plunger and a standard cable snake can't cut it, hydro jetting is the tool our 5 Star Plumbing technicians reach for. Instead of just punching a hole through a clog, high-pressure water jetting scours the entire interior wall of the pipe — removing grease build-up, mineral scale, sludge, sand and root intrusion so water can flow the way it was designed to.
It's the same technology municipal crews and commercial facilities rely on, and it's available for homes, restaurants, apartment buildings and industrial properties throughout Northwest Indiana.

Frequently Asked Questions
In most cases yes. We evaluate pipe material and condition with a camera first and adjust pressure accordingly, so cast iron, clay, PVC and older lines can all typically be jetted safely.
A cable snake punches a hole through a clog. Hydro jetting scours the full interior of the pipe, removing grease and scale buildup along the entire wall for a longer-lasting result.
Most restaurants benefit from hydro jetting every 3-6 months to stay ahead of grease buildup, though your schedule depends on volume and existing grease trap maintenance.
When performed by trained technicians who match pressure to pipe type and condition, hydro jetting is one of the safest, most effective drain-cleaning methods available.
