Traditional motorized drain snakes are fantastic for retrieving hair clogs or cutting through minor tree roots. However, if your home’s plumbing is severely choked by years of hardened cooking grease, heavy soap scum, or thick mud sludge, a snake will simply poke a small hole through the muck. The water might drain for a few days, but the sludge will quickly collapse and close the hole back up. For these stubborn, recurring blockages, you need absolute power. We are Vernon Hills, IL’s premier experts in advanced hydrojet drain cleaning. We use industrial-grade, high-pressure water technology to completely obliterate heavy buildup, restoring your pipes to factory-new condition.
When you request our hydrojet drain cleaning service, we deploy a highly specialized machine that acts like a pressure washer for the inside of your plumbing. We feed a flexible, high-pressure hose deep into your heavily clogged sewer or kitchen line. Attached to the end is a specialized nozzle that blasts water at up to 4,000 PSI in a 360-degree, reverse-spray pattern.
The kitchen sink line is typically the most abused pipe in any home. Even if you are careful, microscopic amounts of oils, fats, and grease (FOG) wash down the drain daily. When this warm liquid grease hits the cold pipes beneath your house, it congeals into a rock-hard white paste. Hydrojetting is the only scientifically effective way to completely wash and remove this hardened FOG buildup from your residential plumbing lines without digging up your floors to replace the pipe.
If you live in an older home with original cast-iron plumbing, the inside of your pipes look like jagged, rusty coral reefs. This "scale" constantly snags toilet paper and causes repetitive backups. Our technicians use high-pressure hydrojetting to safely grind and blast that jagged rust away. We smooth the interior of the cast-iron pipe, significantly extending its lifespan and preventing future clogs without requiring an expensive pipe replacement.
"We had a recurring backup issue in our kitchen for months. They came out, ran the hydrojet drain cleaning machine, and blasted years of solid white grease completely out of the pipe. It flows like a brand-new house now."
"My old cast-iron pipes were backing up every few weeks. They used their heavy-duty hydrojetter to descale the rust and wash the line completely clean. Best plumbing service I have ever hired. Honest and very effective."
"A massive grease and root ball blocked our main sewer line on a Saturday. They arrived fast, ran the camera to show me the problem, and hydrojetted it completely clear. I highly recommend them for any tough clogs."
The land that was to become Vernon Hills, founded by Richard Theodore Freese, Ron Freese, and Jim Carswell, began with the establishment of a 200-acre (0.81 km2) farm in 1857. Use of the land remained relatively static until the 1960s, when part of it was purchased for a residential community and golf course; the development was the first use of the name "Vernon Hills." On June 16, 1958, the village officially incorporated with 123 residents and 125 houses in a single subdivision built by Quinn Hogan and Barney Loeb. During these times, the village and police department were run from a local motel until 1971 when village trustees bought two portable buildings. It saw steady but slow growth until the annexing of a plot of land near the corner of IL-60 and IL-21 in 1971, which led to the building of 1,200,000-square-foot (110,000 m2) Hawthorn Center. By 1980, the village's population had grown to almost 10,000 residents, and by 2000, it had surpassed 20,000.
