GET HELP FOR Hydro Jetting Services

Hydro jetting is a technique professional plumbers use to clean slow-moving or clogged sewage lines. It uses water to scour heavy buildup from sewer pipes as quickly and easily as if it were debris in the street. It can easily break up clogs made of all kinds of materials, from food residues to congealed baby wipes.

Unnoticed water leakage for a long time can be a leading cause of significant damage and costly repairs. Therefore, detecting leaks earlier can prevent property and assets damages and losses and can preserve the integrity and value of the property.

How Does Hydro Jetting Work?

Here’s how hydro jetting works and what you can expect from the service, should you decide this process is the solution you need.

The plumber will perform a video inspection of the system to locate any major blockages and areas of heavy buildup. They'll also inspect the pipes to establish whether they can withstand hydro jetting. In some cases, very old or weak pipes cannot tolerate the intense pressure.

If your pipes aren't suitable for hydro jetting, they'll snake the pipes (a less intense method—more on that below) or use an auger to break up any tree roots that have moved dangerously close to your plumbing system. If your plumber determines hydro jetting is not safe considering the condition of your pipes, you may want to consider installing new, more efficient piping if you are dealing with frequent clogs and drainage issues.

Once access points are located, the plumber will drop hoses into your pipes and activate the hydro jetting machine. This machine has the power to pressurize the water up to 35,000 psi, but the plumber will adjust the pressure based on the needs of your system.

As the water runs, the hose moves through the plumbing system, scouring the pipes free of buildup and heavy clogs. As the hydro jet dislodges the debris from the pipe walls, the debris travels downward (thanks to gravity) and is flushed safely out of the plumbing system.

What Can You Remove With Hydro Jetting?

Hydro jetting can remove all kinds of debris in pipes, including:

  • Hair clogs
  • Mineral deposits
  • Grease and fat deposits
  • Food deposits
  • Silt
  • Sand
  • Tree roots (in some cases)

How You Know When You Need Hydro Jetting

There are a few telltale signs that your system needs hydro jetting :
  1. Your plumbing system backs up regularly
  2. Your bathroom or kitchen sink drain smells
  3. You hear noisy or gurgling pipes
  4. You get a lot of clogs, even though you’re mindful of what you put down your drains
  5. Your drains run slow
If you’re in any doubt about whether you need a hydro jetting service, it’s worth calling a local plumber and asking for a video line inspection. The cost of a sewer line camera inspection is insignificant compared with the cost of replacing your sewer line.
