Reasons Why Hydro Jetting Is The Best Way To Clean Plumbing Lines

Many people are unfamiliar with the term ‘Hydro Jet’ as it is not a standard plumbing method and should not be done by an amateur plumber for it can make the problem worse.

Hydro jetting is a non-invasive plumbing solution to clear sewer pipes by removing clogs and blockage effectively. Hydro jetting is a complicated process that uses ultra-pressurized water to remove debris, clogs, and build-up from the plumbing system. In the process, high-pressure water is pushed through sewer pipes using a particular hydro jetting machine. The high-pressure water thoroughly rinses the inside wall of pipes and removes the debris that has triggered a clog or slow water flow in the system.

Before hydro jetting was introduced, the plumber used a ‘rodding’ system using tools such as an auger or snake to pierce through the clog and powered a hole through the blockage. This method is still used and does works on more minor clogs. But hydro jetting has more effectiveness for more significant clogs and build-ups for heavy grease build-up from the commercial kitchen or excessive roots problem.

Then the plumber will select a proper jetting head and pressure level that depends on the severity of the clogs. The hose is highly durable and can shoot up to 20 gallons of water at 4,500 psi every minute. This water pressure powers the debris, grease, or mineral build-up that has created clogs out of the pipe. The dislodged material causing the clogging will flow down into the sewer system. Hot water is sometimes used in hydro jetting for a better solution, but that depends on the clogs and the materials created.
