OUR SERVICES
High-pressure cleaning for drain and sewer lines across Iowa, Michigan, and Missouri. The right solution when standard clearing doesn’t hold. Licensed specialists.
OVERVIEW
When a drain clears but quickly clogs again, the issue is usually deeper than a single obstruction. Buildup along the pipe walls, residual debris, or long-term accumulation can restrict flow even after standard cleaning. In these cases, hydro jetting is the next step - it addresses the entire interior of the pipe, not just the immediate blockage.
Clog Busters provides hydro jetting as part of a full-service approach to drain and sewer work across Iowa, Michigan, and Missouri. Owner Jarod Smith leads a team equipped to handle everything from routine clearing to more advanced cleaning methods when needed. Whether the issue is recurring backups or heavy buildup, hydro jetting is available from our local branches in Des Moines, North Liberty, and Oskaloosa, Iowa; Grand Rapids, Michigan; and the Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri.
All work is performed to the plumbing codes adopted in each state and community we serve.

BLOCKAGE AND BUILDUP TYPES
Across Iowa, Michigan, and Missouri, these are the most common signs it’s time to bring in a drain professional.
Layered grease inside kitchen and main lines restricts flow over time. Jetting removes these layers rather than just opening a temporary path.
Deposits from mineral-rich water can gradually narrow pipes. Hydro jetting breaks up and flushes this buildup without relying on chemicals.
After roots are cut or removed, fragments can remain inside the line. Jetting clears out this leftover material completely.
Over time, dirt and debris can settle in main lines. High-pressure cleaning dislodges compacted material that standard tools can’t reach.
Bathroom drains that clog repeatedly often have buildup along the walls. Jetting removes that accumulation instead of just clearing the current blockage.
PIPE SAFETY
Protect your home from backups and keep everything flowing with professional drain service.
PVC, ABS, and properly maintained cast iron lines typically handle hydro jetting well when they are structurally sound.
Pipes that have been in place for decades may have weak points. Checking the condition before jetting ensures the line can handle the pressure.
Equipment is adjusted based on pipe size and material. The same pressure is not used across all lines - settings are tailored to the situation.
If inspection reveals cracks, separation, or significant damage, repair is recommended instead of jetting to avoid worsening the issue.
