How Does Hydro Jetting Work?

Simply put, hydro jetting involves running highly pressurized water through your plumbing systems for the purpose of cleaning. A plumber will attach a hose to your pipes and pump water from a tank into the systems.

Depending on the circumstances and the scale of the buildup in your pipes, the plumber will adjust the level of water pressure accordingly.

Signs You Need Hydro Jetting

Because of the high water pressure hydro jetting uses to clear out severe buildups, it’s important to determine whether a professional plumber needs it. However, some signs that indicate that hydro jetting may be needed include:

  • Frequent clogs or blockages in your plumbing system
  • Slow-draining sinks, toilets, or shower/tub
  • Gurgling or bubbling sounds coming from your pipes
  • Bad odors coming from your drains
  • Water backing up in unexpected areas
  • Drainage issues in multiple fixtures or appliances
  • Visible buildup or corrosion inside your pipes

The Benefits of Hydrojetting

Hydro jetting is a method of cleaning drains, sewers, and other plumbing systems using high-pressure water. The benefits of hydro jetting include the following:

  • Effectiveness: This method can remove even the toughest blockages, such as grease, sludge, and tree roots, that traditional methods like snaking or rodding may not remove.
  • Efficiency: It’s a quick and efficient way to clear blockages and save time and labor.
  • Minimal disruption: It can be done without digging up the ground or disrupting landscaping.
  • Long-term benefits: Doing this will help prevent future blockages by cleaning the entire length of a pipe, not just the blockage, leaving the pipes in better condition.
  • Cost-effective: Hydro jetting can save money in the long run by preventing blockages and the need for expensive repairs and replacements.

Hydro Jetting vs. Drain Cleaning

Hydro jetting and drain cleaning are both methods used to clear blockages in plumbing systems, but they have some key differences, including:

  • Method of cleaning: Drain cleaning typically involves using a snake or auger to break up and remove blockages physically, while hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to blast away blockages.
  • Pressure: Hydro jetting uses much higher pressure than traditional drain cleaning methods. This allows it to remove tougher blockages and clean the entire length of a pipe.
  • Effectiveness: Hydro jetting is typically more effective than traditional drain cleaning methods, as it can remove even the toughest blockages, such as grease, sludge, and tree roots.
  • Damage prevention: Hydro jetting can prevent damage to pipes by removing buildup that can cause corrosion or restrict water flow.
  • Safety: Hydro jetting is a safer method of cleaning plumbing systems, as it does not involve using harsh chemicals or dangerous equipment.

Depending on the severity of the clog and the health of your plumbing system, our experienced plumbers will help you determine whether hydro jetting or drain cleaning is necessary.

Hydro Jetting FAQ

Will hydro jetting damage my pipes?

It can damage them if not done properly. The high-pressure water stream can erode or puncture pipes if the nozzle is not held at the correct angle or if the water pressure is too high. Additionally, older or weaker pipes may not be able to withstand the pressure and could be damaged.

Can I do my own hydro jetting?

While it is technically possible to perform your own hydro jetting, it is not recommended. The process requires specialized equipment and knowledge to operate safely and effectively without causing damage to the pipes. If not done correctly, it can cause damage to the pipes, injury to the operator, or even a fire.

How often should I schedule hydro jetting?

Generally, you should schedule hydro jetting at least once a year. However, if you notice any signs of consistently slow drains, clogged toilets, or backed-up pipes, it may be necessary to schedule hydro jetting more frequently.

    At 6 PM on a 95-degree day, I noticed that my system was not cooling and was in fact down. I called and was pleased to have someone pick up the phone and listen to the symptoms of the problem. They ultimately dispatched a repair person who was able to get the system up and running by 8:30 PM in advance of a long, hot holiday weekend, I was very pleased with the prompt response to my emergency.
