Hydro Jet Cleaning Explained

A home’s plumbing system may not be visible. Still, it’s certainly one of the most essential components that keep a house running smoothly, allowing its residents to live comfortably and go about their daily activities without a hitch. 

This is why it’s of utmost importance to keep the plumbing system clean and free from obstructions that may disrupt water flow into and sewage out of the house. Fortunately, there are many ways to keep drains clean and remove clogs from the myriad pipes inside the house. 

DIY methods may involve using ordinary household materials, chemical drain cleaners, or even manual methods such as using a plunger or a drain snake. Still, for deeper cleaning and removal of more stubborn clogs, sometimes these methods just won’t do. This is where a trusted plumber can come in and offer hydro jet drain cleaning services.

How It Works

hydro jettingHydro jet cleaning is a method of cleaning and unclogging drain and sewer pipes using a highly pressurized hose with a special nozzle. 

This stream of highly pressurized water can remove even the most clogged sewer line by eliminating all kinds of deep-seated obstructions, including oil and grease, hair, mineral deposits, sludge, and even tree roots to a certain extent. 

Plumbers usually scope the affected pipelines with a sewer video inspection and then access the clogged pipe through a clean-out, which is an opening that gives plumbers an entry point for cleaning the pipes. They will then thread in the hose and pump the water for cleaning until all the blockages have been cleared. 

Do You Need Hydro Jet Drain Cleaning?

bad smellWhile hydro jet cleaning is one of the most effective drain cleaning methods, it shouldn’t be used unless there is a clear need for it. This usually means exhausting other drain cleaning methods, such as using a drain snake, chemicals, or plunging.

If these simpler methods don’t work, or if the clog is too stubborn to be defeated by all other unclogging methods, it’s time to resort to using a hydro jet.

Other signs that point to a need for hydro jet cleaning include slow drainage, sewage back-up, multiple drain clogging, foul odors, gurgling sounds, and frequent clogging. 

Why Choose Hydro Jetting Over Other Methods?

Hydro jetting is considered one of the most effective methods for cleaning stubborn clogs and is one of the most thorough ways of cleaning a home’s plumbing system. 

Not only can it handle a variety of sewer problems, but it is also faster, safer, and friendlier to the environment since it only uses water instead of chemicals to get the job done. 

The only thing that should prevent homeowners from choosing a hydro jet over all other methods for drain cleaning is if their pipes are older, more fragile, and more prone to breakage. In this case, the immense pressure from the water in a hydro jet may end up causing more harm than good.
