Most homeowners have experienced clogged drains or slow-draining bathroom sinks at least once in their lives. Over time, it isn’t uncommon for things like hair, grease, and other debris to accumulate in your pipes and drains, which ultimately leads to clogs and possibly backed-up sewer lines.
There are several ways to remedy clogged pipes, but for serious clogs, hydro jetting reigns supreme. Hydro jetting works by using plumbing equipment and a special hose to shoot high-pressure water throughout your pipes to break up blockages and remove the buildup of grime and debris.
How does it work?
A nozzle is fed into your drain or into the pipe, and it is usually self-propelled through the pipe from the pressure, up to 35,000psi or more. The nozzle may differ depending on the application, drain size or type of clogged material. As the nozzle encounters a clog, be it an unsolved food, thick grease or any type of fabric, a high-pressure jets streams exert such a powerful tear on the material, that it starts to dissolve.
What can be removed with hydro jetting?
For residential work, hydro jetting can remove sand, silt and scale build-up as well as hair clogs and other residues that build upon the walls of the pipes. Routine hydro jetting should be done on restaurants to remove grease and food particle build-up. This type of service can completely clean pipes of residual build up in ways that snaking can not. Snaking out pipes only breaks up the clogs but leaves build up remaining on the interior walls.
Hydro jetting is also environmentally friendly, no harsh chemicals are needed.
Penetrating and emulsifying grease.
Breaking up sludge and debris.
Pulverizing roots.
Cutting out hardened scale.
Flushing out the system.
Clean inside walls of a pipe/drain
Hydro jetting should be done by a professional plumbing contractor. The high pressure could damage lines if they are not properly inspected first. Quality plumbers are trained in the use of the system and know what to look for to prevent damage and thoroughly clean the entire system.
Getting the job done
While hydro jetting is frequently used in commercial plumbing, it can be extremely beneficial to homeowners. If you need to have your plumbing snaked on a regular basis a hydro-jetting service will eliminate all the debris in the lines. The service can greatly improve older plumbing lines that have years of build-up. It is also particularly useful for homeowners that experience sand and silt build up as chemical cleaners and augers will not flush the system completely.
