What Is Hydro-Jetting?
Hydro-jetting is a process where a plumber injects pressurized water into a drain pipe. The beauty of hydro-jetting is that it quickly removes a wide range of materials that can block a drain. If your drain is blocked by food waste or grease, a hydro-jet system can free the offending materials and send them on their way. Hydro-jetting is also highly effective in removing most kinds of mineral deposits from the walls of drains. Even if an outdoor drain has suffered tree root intrusions, our hydro-jetting process can usually clear a path through the tangle.
Our plumbers use waterproof camera equipment to look deep inside drain pipes. This allows us to determine:
- Where the clog is
- What is causing it
- How much pressure to use
- How long to hydro-jet the affected area
We will also recheck the drain at the end of the process. The camera can tell us how effective the pressure treatment was and if there might be additional clogs further down the drain.
Notably, there is no reason to wait for a clog to appear before asking our plumbers to perform hydro-jetting. Scheduling a hydro-jetting every few years is a great way to ensure that your home’s drain system will stay clear. Many home buyers also schedule hydro-jetting after purchasing a place so they’ll have peace of mind. Regular hydro-jetting removes debris and significantly reduces the risk that buildup will lead to a clog.
Benefits of Hydro-Jetting
Hydro-jetting is a non-invasive drain cleaning method that’s ideal for use on modern piping systems that use PVC and metal. You don’t have to worry about a plumber digging around your yard. Likewise, there is typically no need to remove pipes from the system to get the job done.
Hydro-jetting is a popular choice because it is:
- Environmentally friendly, thanks to only using water
- Kid- and pet-safe
- Cost-effective
A thorough hydro-jetting also means that a drain won’t quickly reclog. Mechanical methods like snaking often break up enough of a clog to get water flowing. The problem is that this frequently leaves behind materials along the drain’s wall. As more debris goes down the drain, these materials can quickly attract it and cause a new clog to form. A similar issue accompanies chemical methods because a small hole develops to allow water flow, but the full clog doesn’t go away.
Hyrdo-jetting is comprehensive, too. Rather than just targeting the location of a clog, hydro-jetting sends pressurized water through the whole length of a drain. The thorough cleaning action serves to clear your home’s entire drain system.
