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 closing for retirement.
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 hydro-jetting unit and the first expansion of services to include hydro-jetting, televising and line locating.
~~2008 added a larger all-weather jetting unit, which meant the company could now begin helping agricultural and municipal customers with ultra high-pressure hydro-jetting across Iowa. This brought forth a new name, Affordable Drain - Jet Surge of Iowa.
~~Dean’s daughter began running the office full-time so the team could focus on what they do best; and business grew exponentially.
Today, we go by JetSurge. We joke it was because Affordable Drain-JetSurge of Iowa was a mouthful. But really, the refresh was a way for us to streamline our process for customers with a new website, paperless invoicing and some other exciting additions we can’t wait to roll out in 2020.

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.
