A Guide to Hydro Jetting & How It Can Help Your Home's Plumbing
With the amount of food, grease, hair, and other debris that travel down drains over time, it's not unusual for a home's plumbing to experience nasty clogs. The reality is some backups can be so severe that nearby septic tank drainfields may flood and cause more damage. Luckily, hydro jetting is a powerful method that can thoroughly clear out stubborn clogs.
What Is the Procedure?
A piece of tank equipment with a hose and nozzle attached shoots out high-pressured water to eliminate debris, grease, mineral deposits, and other items from plumbing pipes. You can adjust the amount of water pressure, depending on the severity of the clog. Plumbers typically conduct an inspection first using video equipment to determine the extent of the backup.
When Do You Need Hydro Jetting?
Hydro jetting is effective when there is material blocking pipes deep inside the plumbing. The procedure is generally used after standard plungers and drain snakes don’t work. Because the hose and nozzle can travel well into pipes, water pressure can reach the obstruction and safely flush it away.
Another instance when hydro jetting is the best solution involves tree root infiltration. Sometimes, nearby roots can make their way into plumbing and cause ongoing backups. Carefully applied water pressure loosens up the roots, eliminates the entanglements, and completely clears out the backup.
