When you have a clogged drain, your plumber may recommend fixing the issue with hydrojet plumbing techniques. The hydrojet is a specialized tool that sends high-pressure water down the line, breaking any obstructions down into small pieces to clear them out. The below information explains the unique benefits of this service, so you can talk to your plumber about it. 

What Should Homeowners Expect From Hydrojet Plumbing? 

The plumber will locate the obstruction in your plumbing then find a cleanout or access port to open. They will place a hose into the cleanout, which is connected to a water tank on one end. The machine pressurizes the water in the tank, sending it down the hose and into the pipe.

Your plumber will then select the appropriate water pressure, depending on the type of obstruction and pipe condition, to ensure they remove the clog without damaging your plumbing. They send the water up the pipe against gravity, which dislodges the debris and breaks it apart. It then moves back down due to gravity, flushing out of the system.  

When Is Hydrojet Plumbing Recommended?

A hydrojet should always be operated by a professional, as using it improperly could cause serious damage to your system. It should not be used on compromised plumbing systems that might not be able to withstand the water pressure, such as ones on very old homes.

It is a perfect choice for flushing out sewer lines, whether you have a normal clog or invasive tree roots. It’s also an excellent option for indoor plumbing clogs if you haven’t had success with a drain snake.
