When it comes to clearing tough clogs and restoring proper flow in your plumbing system, hydro-jetting is one of the most effective solutions available. This professional-grade drain cleaning technique uses highly pressurized water to blast away years of buildup, debris, and even tree roots that may be lurking deep in your pipes.
Whether you’re experiencing slow drains or recurring blockages, hydro-jetting can deliver the thorough cleaning your plumbing system needs. Give us a call to get on the schedule for an annual drain cleaning appointment.
How Hydro-Jetting Works
Hydro-jetting involves a specialized hose and nozzle connected to a high-pressure water source. The technician inserts the hose into the drain line and activates the system, sending powerful jets of water—often up to 4,000 PSI—through the pipes.
These jets scour the interior walls of your pipes, breaking apart clogs, flushing out grease, mineral deposits, soap scum, and other stubborn materials. Unlike traditional drain snaking, which simply punches a hole through a clog, hydro-jetting fully clears the pipe. The result is a more comprehensive and longer-lasting clean.
Signs You May Need Hydro-Jetting
Hydro-jetting isn’t just for emergency clogs—it’s also a great preventive tool. Still, there are several warning signs that your home may benefit from this service:
- Slow-draining sinks or tubs: If water is lingering in your sink or bathtub longer than usual, it may indicate a buildup in your drain lines.
- Recurring toilet clogs: Frequent backups, even with moderate toilet use, could mean a deeper issue in your main sewer line.
- Foul odors: A musty or sewage-like smell coming from your drains can point to decaying buildup or blockages that need to be cleared.
- Gurgling noises: If you hear unusual sounds when flushing the toilet or draining the sink, your plumbing system may be under pressure from trapped air due to blockages.
- Multiple slow drains: When more than one drain in your home is sluggish, it often signals a larger problem in the main sewer line that hydro-jetting can address.
The Benefits of Hydro-Jetting
Hydro-jetting offers a range of advantages, especially compared to chemical drain cleaners or mechanical augers:
- Thorough cleaning: It doesn’t just break up clogs; it clears your entire pipe of residue.
- Environmentally friendly: Hydro-jetting uses only water—no harsh chemicals—making it safe for your pipes and the planet.
- Prevents future clogs: By removing the buildup that causes slow drains and blockages, it helps keep your plumbing flowing smoothly long-term.
- Safe for all pipe materials: When performed by a licensed professional, hydro-jetting is safe for most modern plumbing systems, including PVC and copper.
