What Is Hydrojetting & What Are Its Benefits?

 

Does your home or business need its sewer lines or pipe lines unclogged and cleaned? If so, then an expert in Hydro-Jet plumbing is the person for the job. This relatively new technique uses streams of high-pressure water to flush out and clean grease, roots, and debris from clogged pipes, it is thus far the best and most effective drain cleaning technique.

Hydro-Jetting Grease

Many restaurants produce large volumes of greasy residue from their industrial kitchens. Although much of the grease is caught in grease traps, it is inevitable that some grease will enter the sewer lines and cause blockages. The traditional method of snaking the pipes is an ineffective way of removing this build-up. However, high-pressure water shooting from a hose at 3,500 psi is a highly effective method of clearing grease from sewer lines.

Hydro-Jetting Roots

When pipes become clogged because roots have made their way into the sewer system, a two-fold method of pipe repair is advisable. First, a camera inspection of the inside of the pipe will show whether or not cracks in the pipe have been created by root damage. If roots have not penetrated the pipes, then Hydro-Jetting will be the next step. The high-pressure water will easily cut through most stubborn roots and leave the pipes clear and functional.

Hydro-Jetting Debris

Over time, debris can find its way into sewer lines by attaching itself to the protective waterproof inner coating of the pipe. This causes the sewer lines to become clogged and in need of clearing. Normally, waste water relies on gravity to move it into the sewer system. However, in order to remove the clog by Hydro-Jetting, the plumber works in reverse. He will locate the downstream end of the clean-out opening in the plumbing system. Then the high-pressure hose, with its attached special nozzle, will be placed into the clean-out opening, and the pressurized spray will be dispensed into the pipe at a flow rate of 18 gallons per minute. The spray works its way upstream through the pipes, against gravity, in order to clean out any debris. Once the debris is released and the pipe is clear, then gravity will carry the debris downstream, through the pipes, and into the sewer system.

This new and effective method of Hydro-Jetting is an effective method of removing clogs of grease, roots, and debris from sewer lines. Many plumbers recommend Hydro-Jetting as a preventative measure to keep sewer pipes functioning smoothly.
