Benefits of Hydro Jetting
Hydro jetting is a highly effective method used by professional plumbers to clean out clogged sewer lines. A blast of water at an extremely high pressure- usually about 4000 psi- is sent into the lines. This blast generally removes any and all clogs, blockages, and buildups.
Your plumber may do a video inspection of your lines to determine what has caused your clog and exactly where the problem is located. Even if tree roots are the cause of your problem, hydro jetting will usually cut right through them. Sometimes, if the tree roots are extra heavy and thick, your plumber may need to run a snake through the line first. Video inspection prior to hydro jetting is also a good idea to check for broken pipes or weak areas. Hydro jetting weak pipes can wreak havoc on your plumbing system.
Now that you know what hydro jetting is, let’s talk about some benefits of hydro jetting.
Benefits of hydro jetting-
- It will remove almost any clog. The high pressure of the water is enough to decimate almost every clog. This includes tree roots. Hydro jetting will remove clogs that even motorized drain snakes can not.
- Its safe for your pipes. The process of hydro jetting doesn’t use any harsh chemicals or send any motorized parts into your pipes, so its safe for the insides of your entire plumbing system. Its also environmentally friendly.
- Its all inclusive. Oftentimes, a motorized drain snake will only remove large clogs. However, small clogs and built up debris along the sides of your pipes can be just as damaging to your plumbing system as large clogs. Hydro jetting removes large clogs, small clogs, and any built up debris. There are different types of nozzle attachments that will allow your plumber to reach nearly every centimeter of the inside of your pipes.
- Its a long term solution. Hydro jetting can even help prevent future problems in your pipes! The high pressure action of the water makes it more difficult for debris to begin accumulating.
