History
After a successful career installing signage across the US, Dean Owen was ready to settle into a job that would give him more time at home with his family. He began working for a local sewer & drain cleaning company, got a few years under his belt, and heard about a company selling as the owner wanted to retire.
On Tax Day in 1997, Dean purchased Affordable Drain (estab. 1986) and started on his journey as a small business owner. Day and night, as customers called about their clogged drains, they were greeted by Dean to help solve their issue.
~~1999, welcomed an additional employee, the company’s first commercial 4,000 PSI hydro-jet, and the first expansion of services to include hydro-jetting, televising, and line locating.
~~ In 2008, an even larger all-weather 6,000 PSI jet unit was purchased, and the company began helping agricultural and municipal customers with ultra-high-pressure hydro-jetting across Iowa. This gave rise to a new name: Affordable Drain - Jet Surge of Iowa.
Today, we go by JetSurge. We joke that it was because Affordable Drain-JetSurge of Iowa was a mouthful. But really, the refresh was a way for us to streamline our name for our clients.
~~ 2025, an even larger all-weather 10,000 PSI jet unit was purchased, expanding our ultra-high-pressure hydro-jetting services, and we continued to grow our jetting fleet, making JetSurge a leader in Hydro Jetting in the Des Moines area.

Dean still hops in a truck every now and then to help out, though he fancies himself semi-retired.
So if you see him out and about, give him a hard time. And remind him there’s always a clogged drain somewhere that needs fixing.
