Hydro Jetting Services for Drains

Hydro jetting is one of the most powerful ways to keep drains clean and free of clogs. It can save the day when other methods cannot.

Hydro jetting is immensely powerful against clogs, and, most of the time, it's very safe.

Here is a closer look at hydro jetting, why it's good, and when it might be necessary.

What is hydro jetting?

A hydro jet uses high-pressure water that effortlessly blasts through pipe blockages. Functionally, it's not too dissimilar to a pressure washer but works on plumbing instead. It thoroughly cleans the pipe walls and clears clogs, removing grease, debris, and other buildup.

Why hydro jetting?

Hydro jetting is as thorough as it gets. While snaking might temporarily relieve a clog, a hydro jet will clean the pipe's entire diameter, which makes for a longer-lasting clean. While it sounds powerful, this cleaning method is still safe for most plumbing systems. It uses only water, so there are no harsh chemicals to erode the pipes.

Also, hydro jetting is more environmentally friendly than many other drain cleaning methods because it uses only water. Environmental friendliness matters because drain cleaners are known water pollutants.

When to hydro jet

Knowing the reasons for hydro jetting opens the question of when to do it. If clogs keep returning, hydro jetting can address their root cause by cleaning out the buildup that snaking misses.

Slow drains are also an issue. They're annoying proof of buildup collecting in the pipes. Hydro jetting restores drains to full capacity.

Grease can quickly build up in kitchens, especially commercial ones. That's why not dumping grease down the drain is common advice. If it builds up anyway, hydro jetting can cut through it smoothly.

Hydro jetting is also great before pipe repairs because you start with a clean slate. It helps plumbers do their job easier.

How does hydro jetting work?

Plumbers usually start with a camera inspection to check the clog's severity and the pipes' condition for hydro jetting. Depending on these factors, they can adjust the pressure.

Hydro jetting is relatively quick, and the results are immediate and quite noticeable. Water instantly flows freely, and the risk of future clogs decreases.

To hydro jet or not to hydro jet

Hydro jetting may be extremely effective, but it's not for all pipes. It might damage very old or fragile pipes, so ask a plumber for an opinion first.

Trust the experts

Hydro jetting is immensely powerful against clogs, and, most of the time, it's very safe. It works immediately and tackles the root causes of clogging better than other methods. However, one should perform this task carefully and professionally, so first schedule an expert assessment.
