Hydrojetting Basics

Hydrojetting is a plumbing service that is designed to remove impossible clogs.

It uses a jet of high-powered water up to 4,000 psi to blast away anything in its path. This includes years’ worth of hardened sludge, other organic matter, and even tree roots.

Once the water jet is positioned and takes aim, hydrojetting can do everything all the other plumbing services struggle to do.

 

Hydro-jetting is a powerful solution for addressing persistent or severe clogs in your plumbing system. Consider hydro-jetting if you experience frequent blockages despite using standard methods, such as plungers or drain snakes. It’s particularly effective for clogs caused by grease build-up, tree root intrusion, or mineral deposits that traditional methods can’t fully clear. If you notice slow drainage, recurring backups, or foul odors from your drains, hydro-jetting can provide a thorough cleaning by blasting high-pressure water through your pipes, removing debris and buildup. Additionally, if you’re planning a major renovation or have an older plumbing system with accumulated debris, hydro-jetting can help restore optimal flow and prevent future issues. For long-term maintenance and to ensure your pipes remain in good condition, consult a professional plumber to determine if hydro-jetting is the right choice for your needs.

 

Maintaining your pipes after a hydro-jetting service is crucial for ensuring long-term effectiveness and preventing future issues. Start by avoiding flushing non-disposable items like wipes, paper towels, or grease, which can lead to new clogs. Regularly clean your drains with mild, non-corrosive cleaners to prevent buildup. Install drain screens or strainers to catch debris and hair before they enter the pipes. Monitor your plumbing system for any signs of leaks or slow drainage and address issues promptly to prevent further damage. Schedule routine inspections with a professional plumber to ensure your pipes remain clear and in good condition. Additionally, consider using enzyme-based cleaners periodically to help break down organic matter and maintain a healthy flow. By following these maintenance tips, you can extend the benefits of your hydro-jetting service and keep your plumbing system functioning smoothly.

 

Hydro-jetting and traditional pipe cleaning are both effective methods, but they differ significantly in approach. Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water streams to blast away debris, grease, and tree roots from inside pipes, providing a thorough and deep clean. It is ideal for severe blockages and heavy buildup. Traditional pipe cleaning methods, like snaking, involve mechanical tools to break up clogs but may not fully clear stubborn residue or prevent future issues. Hydro-jetting offers a more comprehensive solution, addressing both immediate clogs and long-term maintenance, whereas traditional methods may require repeated treatments.

 

Hydro-jetting has a significant positive impact on pipe longevity and performance, making it a valuable tool for maintaining a healthy plumbing system. This method uses high-pressure water jets to thoroughly clean the interior surfaces of pipes, removing built-up debris, grease, mineral deposits, and other blockages that can impair pipe function. By eliminating these obstructions, hydro-jetting enhances water flow, reducing the risk of clogs and backups.

The removal of accumulated debris not only improves immediate performance but also helps prevent future issues. Clean pipes are less prone to corrosion and damage, which can extend their lifespan and reduce the need for costly repairs or replacements. Additionally, hydro-jetting can address problems caused by tree root intrusion, which can lead to pipe damage and reduced flow if left unchecked.

Regular hydro-jetting helps maintain optimal pipe conditions, promoting efficient drainage and reducing strain on the plumbing system. This proactive maintenance approach minimizes the likelihood of emergency plumbing issues and extends the overall longevity of your pipes. By investing in hydro-jetting, homeowners can ensure their plumbing system remains in peak condition, providing reliable performance and avoiding potential disruptions.

 

During a professional sewer jetting service, you can expect a thorough and effective cleaning of your plumbing system. The process begins with a plumber conducting an inspection using a camera to assess the condition of your pipes and identify any blockages or issues. Once the inspection is complete, the plumber will insert a high-pressure hose into the sewer line. The hose, equipped with specialized nozzles, blasts high-pressure water streams to dislodge and flush out debris, grease, and other obstructions from the pipes.

The water pressure used in sewer jetting is significantly higher than standard water pressure, ensuring a comprehensive clean. The plumber will monitor the process to ensure all blockages are removed and will check the system again to confirm proper flow. The service is typically completed in a few hours, and you can expect improved drainage and reduced risk of future clogs.

Commercial and Residential Hydrojetting Services

One of the most efficient and effective methods of clearing clogged drains is high-pressure water jetting, also known as hydrojetting. It can be used in both residential and commercial settings and is also commonly used for preventative maintenance to keep the pipes in your plumbing system free from debris and other obstructions.

Keep in mind that high-pressure water jets can be extremely dangerous if handled incorrectly, and should only be operated by a professional plumber. Plumbing Solutions has a dedicated team of trained and licensed professionals with years of experience clearing blockages from drains using high pressure water jetting.

Whether you need a serious clog cleared immediately or just want to clear out any debris that might be building up along the walls of your drain and sewer lines, our professional hydrojetting technicians at Plumbing Solutions are here to help.

Is Sewer Jetting Worth It?

While hydro-jetting can be overkill for many smaller drain clogs, sewer jetting is by far the most effective method to fix a clogged sewer.

With the help of our Spartan Soldier trailer jetter, we can apply 3,000 PSI of force to the walls of your sewer line, safely and effectively removing even the worst debris. This has several benefits:

  • Clogs won’t immediately come back. Other sewer cleaning methods don’t completely remove debris, grease, and root invasions, so the parts that remain can quickly anchor new bits of debris, making them a temporary fix. Sewer jetting completely dislodges all debris, significantly increasing drainage and leaving you with a sewer line that might as well be brand new.
  • Eco-friendly. Many other drain cleaning methods rely on harsh chemicals that aren’t very environmentally friendly. Since sewer jetting only uses water, no harmful chemicals are introduced to the environment.
  • Extremely versatile. Any drain we can reach from our truck-mounted sewer jetter is fair game.

It’s important to have your sewer jetting performed by a trained and capable plumber, backed by a licensed and insured plumbing company. The extremely high pressure water jets can absolutely cause damage and injury if not handled correctly, but working with a capable plumber is the best way to mitigate risk. Our sewer cleaning service calls typically only take a couple of hours, but can also be called in for emergency service. We are happy to help with both residential and commercial sewer jetting service.

Routine Hydrojetting Maintenance

You don’t have to wait until you have a severe clog to request a hydro-jetting from Plumbing Solutions. In fact, many residential and commercial plumbing systems can greatly benefit from having their drain and sewer lines routinely hydrojetted.

Businesses like restaurants, hotels, schools, fast food stops, hospitals, storefronts, offices, and other commercial spaces are especially susceptible to buildups of debris within the system’s pipes. Homes both large and small can be brought to a complete standstill by an obstructed sewer line. Without treatment, this problem will only get worse and lead to more expensive repairs down the road.

Severe clogs will eventually lead to recurring overflows and property damage that will not only cost more money to repair but will also take time away from your business. If you’re dealing with a clog in your home, it can greatly interrupt your daily routine.

Why Hire a Professional?

Hydrojetting is one of the few home repairs that should never be attempted by a homeowner that hasn’t been professionally trained to use a high pressure water jetting tool. The upside to opting for a hydrojetting is that it does minimal if any, damage to the pipes in your plumbing system, especially when compared to chemical-based methods.

The downside is that hydrojetting can cause serious bodily harm if misdirected and requires a trained professional with the proper equipment and safety gear. Not only is the powerful jet of water dangerous in amateur hands, but most homeowners won’t have access to the right equipment to get the job done. The price of buying or renting hydrojetting equipment is often more expensive than most consumers are willing to pay.

As a homeowner, your best bet is to stick with a plunger and drain snake for small clogs, and to have a dependable plumber on call for the clogs that require a hydrojetting. Professionals have the tools, the knowledge, and the troubleshooting ability to make it all work.
