How does hydrojetting work? You’ve likely heard of hydro jetting if you have a blocked drain. But, how does it actually work? Plumbers will use high-pressure water to unclog a drain.

The water pressure pushes the clog through the lines and clears the problem better than many clogged drain treatments.

Hydro jetting is recommended for those who have frequent clogs in their kitchen or bathroom, or notice that the smell of your kitchen sink is getting worse. This top clogged drainage solution is for you if you have never had a clog.

These natural drain cleaners won’t cause any damage to pipes or the environment. Hydro jetting is also recommended for slow draining pipes and increased water bills, which can be indicative of leaking.

Hydro Jetting Explained:

You should not use hydro jetting if you have a blockage. This service can be quite expensive so it should not be used if you have clogs that aren’t going away. Hydro jetting utilizes tools to push high pressure water through your plumbing and break up any obstructions.

Do not attempt hydro jetting by yourself. Hydro jetting is an extremely technical process that should be done only by professionals. Doing this yourself could cause major damage to your plumbing.

One of our plumbers will examine your pipes to make sure that they are capable of handling the water pressure. Hydro jetting could cause damage to pipes that have suffered any damage or are older.

The water pressure is so high it can easily puncture a already fragile pipe. Once your pipes are deemed strong enough, they’ll install a hose to your plumbing system and pump water at the right pressure.

Hydro Jetting’s Benefits

Hydro jetting has many advantages over other drain clearing methods. Hydro jetting can be your best option if you have clogged pipes for a long time.

Although it is more expensive than other drain cleaning solutions like snaking or sanding, hydro jetting provides longer-lasting results that are more effective than other options.

Efficient

A drain snake or auger is often used to clear clogs. Hydro jetting is more effective than an auger, and this may prove to be a good option. If used correctly, an auger can clear clogged drains, but not solve long-term problems as hydro jetting.

Although it may seem more efficient to snake a drain than to do it yourself, this will likely only solve a portion of the problem. For chronic clogs, you can only use the drain to treat the problem. You can have your whole system cleaned out with hydro jetting in under an hour.

You may need to go back and do it again if multiple pipes are affected by the clogged drain. You choose efficiency when you choose hydro jetting.

Perfect

While there are many ways to clear drains, hydro jetting is the most thorough and effective. While a drain snake is able to clear clogs, it can’t remove grease buildup or soap scum.

Also, it can be dangerous to snake your drain by yourself. You can save your time and energy by using hydro jetting.

Environmentally Friendly

Hydro jetting is much more eco-friendly than other clogged drain treatments, as we have already mentioned. Drano and Liquid Plumr are two common clog-fixing products. They contain harsh chemicals which can cause damage to your pipes as well as harm to the environment. These products are advertised as “quick fixes”, but they cause more harm than good.

These quick fixes are filled with corrosive chemical that gradually eat away at your pipes. While they will clear a blockage, it will cost you your entire plumbing system. Hydro jetting uses water pressure and pressure to unclog pipes. You won’t be able to damage your home or the Earth with any additional chemicals.

Long-Lasting Results

Hydro jetting provides long-lasting results. Hydro jetting takes just an hour and leaves you with clear pipes that will not cause any problems in your house. You will have your pipes looking as good as new after this process.

Hydro jetting is the only drain clearing solution that can do this. Hydro jetting is effective for up to six months.

If you are relying on store-bought items, you will likely be pouring them down your drain at minimum once a week or twice a month. This will not solve the problem and cause further damage to your pipes. Hydro jetting can be a great solution for those who don’t want to pay a lot.
