Clogged drains or slow draining bathroom sink could be very frustrating. Not only it does lead to sewer backups, but it may possibly contaminate your home’s water source.

If you experience such problems, it’s a good idea to check some smart solutions for cleaning your pipes and hydro jetting could be the best solution that you need.

What is Hydro Jetting?

Hydro-jetting is one of the most efficient and effective methods to clean and unblock your clogged and slow sewage lines without damaging it. It has the ability to restore your drains to a new-like state, making it your best choice for resolving any drainage problems.

Typically, plumbers use a high-pressure of water around 1500 psi average and can rise to 5000 psi, to blow through anything that has built up in your sewer line and tanks and apply tremendous pressure to force any obstacles in its path.

Also, a video inspection should be done first to determine where the clog and the dirt is. Plumbers inspect your system using a small camera, looking for damage and the type of obstruction that needs to be cleared. From there, your plumber can determine what appropriate treatment should be done.

When Do You Perform Hydro Jetting?

In Caccia Plumbing, we only use hydro jetting when other clog-eliminating methods like snaking do not fully address the problem in your sewer lines and other lines that have a clog.

You may consider hydro jetting too when your bathroom or kitchen sink drain starts smelling bad and cooking oil, grease, and other tough items are found in your pipes. Hydro jetting helps eradicate the obstructions in your pipes by pumping high-pressure water on them which forces your pipes to clear up.

Is Hydro Jetting Safe?

Hydro jetting is safer and is a more efficient alternative for cleaning your pipes rather than using corrosive chemicals since you will just be using water.

It may seem to be dangerous for old sewers and pipes since it uses an extremely high pressure of water, but a problem rarely happens. The only way that hydro jetting could be a threat to your sewer lines or water mains in your home would be if the people handling the service chose a hydro jetter far too strong for the job. That is why the licensed plumber must perform a video inspection before hydro jetting to determine the pipeline condition. If the pipe has some cracks or holes or it looks frail in places, hydro jetting may not be the best immediate option. Make sure to choose a licensed and professional plumber to keep and protect your lines as much as possible.

What are the Benefits of Hydro Jetting?

It’s Effective

Hydro jetting is very effective because it completely clears the line, removing all traces of debris and build-up on the sides of the pipe. Yes, other traditional methods like snaking can remove the clogs, but they still leave residue on the walls of the pipe. Over time that residue continues to build-up, leading to a slow drain or another clog. But with hydro jetting, that situation won’t happen.

Reduces Bacteria

Because of their constant use, it comes as no surprise that your plumbing and pipes are a breeding ground for all sorts of bacteria. That commonly caused odd odors coming from your plumbing and general unpleasantness. With hydro-jetting, it clears out the bacteria, along with the other dirt and grime that is on your pipes and provides a more clean and hygienic plumbing system.

It’s Environmentally-Friendly

A lot of people think that hydro jetting is bad for the environment and is considered as an environmental waste due to the water that it uses, but no. Compared to the chemicals used in traditional methods, hydro jetting is much more environmentally friendly. It even safer for homes located near water sources such as rivers, lakes, and ponds.

Saves Money

Although hydro jetting is a little bit costly than other clog-eliminating methods, in the long run, it will save you money. Hydro-jetting keeps your pipes clean about four times longer since it uses pressurized water to thoroughly clean out clogs without leaving anything behind keeping your plumbing system clean and functioning at its best for three or four years longer.
