WHAT IS HYDRO JETTING? SHOULD I HAVE IT DONE?

Recurring clogged drains or water that is slow to go down the drain can cause you frustration for many reasons. Not only does it keep costing you more money and time, but it can also become a health issue for you due to the possibility of sewage backup.

Are you constantly dealing with tough recurring clogs that just don’t seem to get fixed? If yes, then you are probably ready for a more viable solution. If the plumbing problem is located within the main sewer or drain line, then a high-pressure water jetting will be the best long-term solution. So, what exactly is hydro jetting?

What Is Hydro Jetting?

Hydro jetting is a method used to clear pipes, using specialized tools that push highly pressurized water throughout your plumbing system. This high-pressured water can break apart and remove the problematic buildup that has occurred within your pipes. This includes things like; grease, random debris, minerals and limescale buildup and even larger things such as tree roots. While it may be tempting to rationalize a cheaper drain cleaning service such as snaking, there is a good chance that is will not fix the problem completely. When snaking’s are preformed, they are only puncturing the clog, leaving debris stuck behind inside the pipe which can lead to future clogs, burst pipes or sewer line damage causing you to need a pipe repair or water line repair.

Hydro jetting is a more efficient form of drain cleaning due to it clearing away more of the buildup that has accumulated within the pipes, reducing the chance or recurring clogs. Hydro jetting can shoot a maximum of 20 gallons of water per minute (5000 psi) throughout your sewer pipes. This high-pressured water will scour the inside of your pipes, removing buildup, and then gravity will more the debris down and out, so it is safely flushed out of your home. Our skilled and licensed plumbers pinpoint where the problem is, then they will hook up a hose that is connected to a water tank, depending on the clog’s nature our technicians will determine what PSI the machine needs to be set at to get the job done.   Not only is this great way to destroy stubborn clogs but it is also great at maintaining the overall health of your sewer system by flushing away damaging materials, including
