Clogs & Hydro Jetting
Clogs & Hydro Jetting in the Chicago area
A drain that clogs again a few weeks after being cleared usually has buildup along the walls of the pipe, not just a single blockage. Imperium Plumbing clears the immediate clog and uses hydro jetting when the line needs a full clean-out.
How This Service Works
Standard clog removal clears what's blocking the line right now. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to clean the full interior of the pipe — grease, scale, and buildup included — which is why it holds up longer against recurring clogs. We recommend jetting when the situation calls for it, not as a default upsell.

FAQ
Clogs & Hydro Jetting FAQs
Standard clearing removes what's currently blocking the line. Hydro jetting cleans the full interior wall of the pipe with high-pressure water, which is more effective against buildup that causes clogs to keep coming back.
We assess the pipe material and condition before recommending jetting, since it isn't the right approach for every line.
Recurring clogs in the same spot usually mean buildup along the pipe walls rather than a single blockage — which is exactly what hydro jetting is designed to address.
