When ordinary drain and sewer cleaning isn’t up to the task, hydro jetting service is usually the best emergency plumbing option.\u00a0 Highly effective, it removes\u00a0all<\/em>\u00a0grease in kitchen drain pipes so you shouldn’t be needing drain cleaning again anytime soon.\u00a0 It can even cut through tree roots so it’s also a sort of trenchless sewer repair, postponing or eliminating expensive digging.<\/p>\n

So Just What is Hydro Jetting Service?<\/h2>\n

Hydro jetting equipment consists of three main parts:\u00a0 a booster pump, a high-pressure hose, and a special nozzle head.\u00a0 Together they produce tiny jets of high-pressure water to quickly scour away grease, sludge, and even scale.<\/p>\n

Cabling (drain snaking)\u00a0initially makes a small opening in grease or sludge; it takes extra time to remove more and there’s always at least a little bit left.\u00a0 That traps food particles and in turn more grease and sludge.\u00a0 So it may not be long before you have a clogged drain or need sewer cleaning again.\u00a0 But high pressure water jetting\u00a0completely<\/em>\u00a0removes even stubborn grease, debris, sludge, and debris.\u00a0 With special nozzles the jets can even cut through tree roots.<\/p>\n

For drain cleaning hydro jetting service ideally starts at the end of sewer lines, near the street.\u00a0 That way dislodged debris flows away easily.\u00a0 Sewer and drain lines are cleaned along their full length, up to hundreds of feet.<\/p>\n

Is it Safe for My Pipes?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Although the pressure is high (thousands of psi, pounds per square inch) the jets are small and glance\u00a0off pipe surfaces so that the total force is reasonable.\u00a0 It’s actually less risky that the rodding techniques used on stubborn blockages.\u00a0 So it’s perfectly safe for drain and sewer lines that are in good condition.<\/p>\n

But what if your sewer pipe is old or damaged?\u00a0 Hydro jetting services should always begin with an in-pipe video inspection to look for specific problems and to assess the general condition of the line.\u00a0 It also reveals the exact location and nature of the blockage. And it’s\u00a0good to have a video inspection after jetting in order\u00a0to make sure that everything’s clean and as it should be.<\/p>\n
