Explaining Hydro Jetting

There are multiple methods of clearing a clogged sewer line. They vary in effectiveness and overall usefulness, but one method that comes highly recommended is hydro jetting. It is largely considered the gold standard for drain cleaning because of its benefits. This post will answer some questions about hydro jetting and why it is a good choice for clearing sewer line clogs. 

What Is Hydro Jetting?

Hydro jetting uses a special nozzle fitted to the end of a long hose. It shoots a high-pressure stream of water down the pipe. The water power cleans the pipes' interior and eliminates sewer line clogs, clearing the line. Some indicators of a clogged sewer line indicating the need for hydro jetting are:

• Bubbling or gurgling sounds from drains
• Frequent clogging 
• Slow draining water
• Sewage and water backups
• Bad smells from the drains

Is Hydro Jetting Safe for Pipes?

People may have questions about the safety of hydro jetting for the pipes due to the water pressure used. Hydro jetting is safe for pipes that are in good condition and can be used for all types of pipes, including cast iron and PVC pipes. However, if a home’s plumbing is older and fragile, hydro jetting is not the best method, as it can damage the pipes. 

If the pipes are weakened or already have damage, the high pressure of the water can cause breakage. Under most circumstances, however, hydro jetting is safe. Professionals can use equipment like sewer video inspection to check the condition of the pipes to ensure hydro jetting will be safe for them and can be used to clear the clogged sewer line.

What Are the Benefits of Hydro Jetting?

Hydro jetting is a great method for removing clogs and has benefits such as:

• Eco-friendly: The method uses water, rather than harmful chemicals that can damage and corrode pipes. 
• Clog prevention: It can clear clogs, as well as clean the pipe of buildup and debris to help reduce the risk of future clogs forming.  
• Versatility: Hydro jetting can be used with different pipe materials and can clear clogs made of different things, such as tree roots, grease, food waste, and more.
