What is Hydro-Jetting?

Hydro jetting is a highly effective method used for cleaning and unclogging drains and sewer lines. It involves the use of high-pressure water to remove debris, grease, tree roots, and other obstructions that can cause blockages in plumbing systems. This innovative technique has gained popularity in recent years due to its ability to provide thorough and long-lasting results.

Unlike traditional methods such as snaking or rodding, hydro jetting uses water pressure to blast away the accumulated buildup and completely clear the pipes. The powerful stream of water, which can reach up to 4000 PSI (pounds per square inch), cuts through any blockages and flushes out all the debris, leaving the pipes clean and free-flowing.

Hydro jetting is suitable for both residential and commercial applications. Whether you are experiencing slow drains, recurring clogs, or foul odors, hydro jetting can provide a comprehensive solution. By utilizing the force of water, it can remove even the toughest obstructions, including scale, sludge, and mineral deposits.

When to Consider Hydro Jetting?

 Hydro jetting is a highly effective solution for a wide range of drainage and sewer line issues. You may consider hydro jetting in the following situations:

– If you are experiencing recurring drain clogs that are not easily resolved with traditional methods.

– If your sinks, showers, or toilets are draining slowly.

– If there is a foul odor coming from your drains.

– If you suspect that your sewer line is compromised due to tree root intrusion or a significant buildup of debris.

– If you want to proactively prevent future clogs and maintain the optimal performance of your plumbing system.

The Benefits of Hydro Jetting

Hydro jetting offers a range of benefits that make it an ideal solution for drain and sewer cleaning:

Eco-Friendly: Hydro jetting relies solely on the power of water, eliminating the need for harsh chemicals that can be harmful to the environment.

Thorough Cleaning: The high-pressure stream of water effectively removes all types of obstructions, including stubborn grease, roots, and solid blockages.

Long-Lasting Results: Unlike traditional methods, hydro jetting clears the entire pipe and prevents future blockages by thoroughly cleaning the interior walls.

Cost-Effective: Although hydro jetting may have a higher upfront cost compared to other methods, it offers long-term savings by reducing the frequency of drain and sewer line maintenance.

Non-Invasive: Hydro jetting does not require extensive digging or excavation, minimizing disruption to the surrounding area and reducing repair time.

Safe and Versatile: Hydro jetting can be used on various types of pipes, including PVC, steel, and cast iron, making it a versatile option for both residential and commercial properties.

Our Hydro Jetting Process:

Our process of hydro jetting consists of several steps to ensure effective and safe cleaning:

Inspection: Before initiating hydro jetting, a thorough inspection is conducted to identify the exact location and cause of the blockage. This is typically done using a specialized camera that is inserted into the pipes.

Preparation: Once the blockage is identified, the plumbing technician will prepare the area by sealing off any access points to prevent water leakage.

High-Pressure Water Jet: A high-pressure water jetting machine is used to create a powerful stream of water. The water is directed into the affected pipe section through a specially designed nozzle.

Cleaning: As the high-pressure water travels through the pipe, it dislodges and flushes away any debris or obstructions. The force of the water is adjustable based on the severity of the blockage.

Inspection and Testing: Once the hydro jetting process is complete, a follow-up inspection may be conducted to ensure that the pipes are clean and free of any remaining debris. This helps to confirm the success of the hydro jetting procedure.

Maintaining the Results of Hydro Jetting

To maintain the benefits of hydro jetting and prevent future clogs, consider the following tips:

Regular Inspections: Schedule periodic video inspections to identify any potential issues before they escalate. Early detection can help you address problems promptly and prevent further damage.

Proper Disposal: Avoid pouring grease, food scraps, oils, or chemicals down the drain, as they can contribute to clogs and build-up in the pipes.

Use Mesh Screens: Install mesh screens on your drains to prevent hair, soap residue, and other small particles from entering the pipes.

Be Mindful of What You Flush: Flush only toilet paper down the toilet. Feminine hygiene products, cotton balls, and other non-flushable items can cause blockages.

Regular Maintenance: Consider scheduling regular drain cleaning and maintenance to keep your pipes in optimal condition.
