Hydro Jetting

What Is Hydro Jetting?

Hydro jetting is a process that uses high-pressure water jets to spray a powerful stream of water through clogged sewer and drain lines. The water breaks down stoppages, allowing the debris to keep moving.

This technique is used with sewer and drain camera inspections to locate and target the blockage, and then verify that it has been cleared. Hydro jetting can combat tree root invasions, mineral deposits, and debris buildup. The process is non-invasive to eliminate downtime and leave your pipes clean and clear.

Benefits of Hydro Jetting

No matter the cause of a sewer or drain clog, you want it cleared quickly without damaging your plumbing system. You also want to avoid temporary fixes that only move the blockage further down. Hydro jetting is the preferred method to quickly and completely clear pipes.

The top benefits of drain and sewer line jetting:

• Thorough Cleaning: Hydro jetting is incredibly effective and keeps pipes clear for a long time. It is a more thorough approach than snaking and augering, completely breaking up sludge and grease to keep water flowing freely. While some techniques remove only the blockage, hydro jetting clears any remaining residue.
• Environmental Friendliness: DIY drain cleaners can work for small clogs, but should not be used regularly for stubborn or recurrent clogs. Chemical cleaners can not only harm your pipes but can contaminate water supply and harm plants and animals. Hydro jetting is a chemical-free solution to protect your pipes and the environment.
• Preventative Maintenance: If you hire a plumber to handle a stoppage, you want assurance that the problem won't return anytime soon. Hydro jetting is a great long-term solution but can also be used as a preventative solution for slow-moving drains. Routine jetting prevents future clogs by removing debris and buildup, extending the life of your plumbing system.
• Cost-Effective: While some sewer line problems require digging a trench to reach the problem, hydro jetting is non-invasive. That means less time, less mess, and fewer expenses. With cleanout access, hydro jetting provides a fast and affordable way to clear the lines.
• Versatility: Hydro jetting is a great option for many properties and types of clogs. It is safe for residential and commercial properties and can be used on all types of pipes, including steel, clay, cast iron, resin-based, and cement sewer lines.

Common Uses of Hydro Jetting

Plumbers use hydro jetting for a number of residential and commercial plumbing services, including:

• Drain Cleaning: Hydro jetting is perfect for cleaning out clogged sinks, showers, bathtubs, and kitchen drains.
• Sewer Line: It's the ideal solution for removing obstructions in sewer lines, such as tree roots and grease buildup.
• Pipe Descaling: Hydro jetting can efficiently remove mineral deposits from pipes, restoring them to their original diameter for optimal water flow.
