Hydro jetting is a cleaning method used by plumbers to remove the buildup of dirt and debris from pipes, drains, and sewers. Whether you’re a home or business owner, hydro jetting is an effective way to avoid serious long-term plumbing problems. Below, the team at Plumb-Rite Plumbing and Heating in Kalispell, MT, explains everything you need to know about the process.

What Is Hydro Jetting?

Hydro jetting is the process of shooting high-pressured water streams to remove any debris and grease that has built up on the interior surfaces of pipes. First, the plumber uses a tool to make a hole through the buildup and gain access to the pipes, and then they insert a hose connected to a tank of water.

When Do You Need Hydro Jetting?

While minor clogs can be removed by plumbing snakes, hydro jetting is effective for larger-scale backups. Rather than just clearing a clog, it also removes all of the material that is collecting inside the pipes. You should ask for this service if you have a major buildup of sludge or tree roots caught in your pipes.

What Are the Benefits?

Hydro jetting is both economical and environmentally-safe. Unlike plumbing snakes, which are only a temporary solution, hydro jetting provides long-term results.  You can use this technique to remove the most stubborn of blockages, and obstructions such as rocks and roots, to restore the normal flow of water.
