How Does Hydrojet Cleaning Work?

hydrojet cleaning Anchorage AKHydrojet cleaning uses a high-pressure stream of water to clear blockages and clogs from your home’s pipes. While rooter services or plumbing repairs can usually reduce the severity of a blockage or clog to some degree, they can’t always eliminate the buildup.

Unlike plumbing snakes, which often create holes in the blockage, the hydrojetting process allows water to surround the material causing the obstruction, forcing it out of the pipe. Not only does this eliminate the clog, but it also cleans the pipe to remove any bacteria and surface corrosion that can lead to problems in the future.

Where Can Hydrojet Cleaning Be Used?

Although this process is suitable for most parts of the home, plumbers recommend exercising caution when using the hydrojet in a kitchen’s sewer lines. Some older homes have pipes made of clay, which may not be strong enough to withstand the water pressure. The stream may be strong enough to break fragile lines, creating a bigger plumbing issue. 

Hydrojet cleaning also provides a suitable alternative to chemical products that might damage a septic tank and upset the system’s delicate bacteria balance. However, plumbing professionals must take care not to disturb the septic field lines, as the added water pressure can cause solids in the septic tank to create a blockage.

If you’re looking for a safe, effective way to remove clogs from your sewer and septic lines, consider hydrojet cleaning.
