What is Hydro Jetting?
Hydro jetting is a method for cleaning drains and sewer lines that uses high pressure water to scour pipe walls. Our professional plumbers at Frank’s Repair Plumbing use this technique to break up and clear blockages in slow-moving lines and clear away buildup from soap scum, minerals, cooking grease, tree roots and more.
Benefits of Hydro Jetting
Hydro jetting offers many benefits for residential plumbing, including:
- Thorough cleaning: While suitable for some problems, snaking or liquid drain cleaners won’t necessarily remove blockage sources, such as grease or scum buildup, but instead punch a temporary hole through the blockage that will eventually re-clog. Hydro jetting not only breaks up clogs and forces the debris out of the system, but it also scours away sludge buildup to optimize cleanliness and draining.
- Versatility: Hydro jetting suits all kinds of plumbing issues. In most cases, hydro jetting is safe to use on all steel, cement, cast iron, clay, and other types of pipes, and it can resolve clogs that rodding or snaking can’t.
- Non-invasive: Plumbers can access most parts of your plumbing system without digging or opening walls, minimizing disruption to your home and enabling more efficient work.
- No chemicals: Free of the chemicals found in liquid clog solutions, hydro jetting uses only high pressure water and won’t contaminate nearby ecosystems or water sources.
- Cost-effective: Since hydro jetting clears the pipe entirely, it reduces the chance of reclogging. You’ll pay a higher upfront cost than with liquid drain cleaner and other methods, but clean pipes translate to reduced wear and improved plumbing system efficiency and lifespan.
How Does Hydro Jetting Work?
Hydro jetting isn’t as simple as firing high pressure water down a drain — instead, our plumbers carefully inspect your plumbing to develop an effective strategy that won’t damage your system. We’ll start by ensuring your pipes are sturdy enough to handle high pressure. We pass a camera through the pipes to find blockage locations, severity of buildup, and proper nozzle placement. This assessment helps determine the correct pressure rate, typically between 1,500 and 5,000 psi, as well as the system configuration to prevent sewage backflush into clean water supplies.
The process uses a jetter, which includes a water tank, nozzle, hose, and a pressurizing device. Your plumber will feed the hydro jetting hose with a specialized nozzle through a plumbing line access point — usually the sewer cleanout, which most plumbing systems have outside the home. They’ll turn on the motor with the nozzle in the correct position, which then shoots water in different directions to thoroughly clean the pipes. The process usually takes about one hour.
How often should you hydro jet your sewer line?
Depending on your plumbing and sewage system, usage, debris type, piping age, and prior plumbing issues, yearly hydro getting service is ideal for preventing clogs and maintaining your system’s longevity.
To stay ahead of plumbing problems, schedule a plumbing service if you notice the following signs:
- Slow drainage: If water takes longer to drain, it could indicate a growing blockage in your lines.
- Frequent clogs: Regular and recurring clogs, despite the use of snakes and plungers, can indicate your pipes need a thorough cleaning.
- Foul odors: Debris lodged in your pipes provide an optimum environment for biofilm and bacterial growth, causing unpleasant odors to drift through your pipes into your home.
- Gurgling sounds: Bubbling or gurgling indicates that a blockage is disrupting water flow and trapping air.
- Back-ups: If fixtures cause backups in connected fixtures, water pools around floor drains, or sewage backs up from your drains, hydro jetting can clear out the issue before it escalates into a bigger problem.
