Hydro Jetting process involves high velocity water pressure (at around 4,000 psi) to blast debris out of a blocked drain. The blast of water is so strong that it can dislodge tree roots that have grown into your pipes. This is why hydro jetting is recommended as a preventive maintenance service to help you avoid accumulating stubborn debris that will lead to clogs and backed up fixtures.
When Do You Need Hydro jetting?
Hydro Jetting can be used in an emergency situation or as preventive maintenance. The service should be integrated into regular plumbing maintenance plans.
If your pipes seem to be damaged, hydro jetting is the first course of action to take before replacing the pipes. We’ve encountered cases where a customer thought they would have to replace their sewer line due to seemingly irreparable damage, but actually all we needed to do was blast away all of the debris in their pipes.
Want Problem-Free Drains for years?
Hydro Jetting is so effective that if used as part of your maintenance plan, you will only need to clean your pipes once every year. This service is also eco-friendly and will not harm your pipes at all, unlike other chemical cleaners.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT HYDRO JETTING & SNAKING
When it comes to keeping your drains unclogged and your pipes clean, there are several options to choose from. Plumbers often use one of two solutions for clogs and pipe cleaning: plumbing snakes or hydro jetting. While plumbing snakes, or plumbing augers, are a more classic approach, hydro jetting offers an innovative solution for most pipe problems. So what’s best for your situation? That depends on the problem! When a plunger just doesn’t cut it, you need something with a little more force to clear out a clog. That is when hydro jetting and snaking come into play. Each technique is useful for different types of clogs, so you want to make sure you have a qualified plumber handling your drain clog!
When Snaking Is Beneficial
Snaking a clogged drain is done with an auger, which looks like a long steel cable with a coil at the end of it. A plumber will insert the cable into the sewer line, using the coil at the end to break through any obstructions. This will clear up the gunk in your pipes and remove any clogs.
What are the main perks of this option?
Tried and true method – You know it works and does a solid job on most clogs because plumbers have been using it for decades.
Easy on the pipes – It is a disruptive procedure for your pipes (but not the clogs), meaning if you have fragile pipes, this is a great option.
Tackles minor clogs easily – When there is just a minor clog to tackle, snaking can easily get the job done and give you back your drain.
Exposes plumbing dangers – Since a snake uses pressure to break through clogs, it can alert you to issues like tree roots in your pipes.
The bottom line is that cabling a pipeline with an auger is a proven method that can eliminate most basic clogs. However, there are downsides to this method as well. In most cases, snaking is just a temporary solution to pipe buildups, which means more clogs in the future. If you really want to eliminate the risk of clogs, you may want to go with a more powerful, innovative option.
