Hydro jetting is a specialized plumbing service for cleaning severely clogged drains or plumbing. By using a high-pressure stream of water to blast away old grease, tree roots and other debris, you can protect every part of your home plumbing system. Professional hydro-jetting service is safe and environmentally friendly, with no harsh chemicals.
The most important piece of equipment needed for hydro jetting is the appropriately named hydro-jetter machine, which generates the high pressure needed for a deep clean. A durable hose with a nozzle designed for a consistent spray of the water is sent into the piping. With multiple openings, the nozzle sprays it in every direction, ensuring that the entire interior surface of the pipe is cleaned.
But before a plumber starts cleaning, hydro jetting must first begin with an inspection of the entire plumbing system, via a small camera. This way, we can locate the exact spot of the clog and review the overall shape the pipes are in. Once problem pipes are identified, we’ll gradually snake the hose into the piping, blasting away the blockage and rinsing the pipe walls. This helps prevent future clogs while keeping everything flowing smoothly.
Hydro jetting is a great option for preventive maintenance or to resolve severe clogs that conventional methods can’t handle. With regularly scheduled hydro-jetting service, you can even extend the life of your plumbing!
When standard drain cleaning can’t reach, or when clogs are severely lodged in your plumbing, hydro-jetting could be the best option.
The total cost of a hydro-jet drain cleaning depends on the severity of the clog and the total length of the plumbing.
