Water jetting, also known as hydro jetting, is the process of using high-pressure water to remove clogs and blockages from pipes and septic tank systems. This method is used by professional plumbers, and it’s a safe way to clear buildup without harming your plumbing. Below is a comprehensive guide to how water jetting works and why you should hire a plumber to perform this service for your home.

How Does Water Jetting Work?

Water jetting involves the use of a special hose and nozzle to shoot a high-pressure stream of water into pipes. First, the plumber uses a tool to punch a hole in the buildup, allowing them to access the pipes. They then point the hoe and nozzle attachments (which are connected to a water tank) to remove the debris, sludge, and grease that has built up on the interior surfaces of pipes. By controlling the amount of pressure that’s applied, the plumber uses the water to remove the debris. 

What are the Benefits?

Plumbers use this technique to deal with more severe back-ups. While small clogs in the kitchen drain or bathtub caused by food or hair can be broken up using a plumbing snake, water jetting is often the safest and most efficient solution for clogs that are persistent or located deep within the septic system. This method lets plumbers avoid the use of chemicals which can corrode the pipes, allowing them to quickly remove the blockage so you can return to using your plumbing system properly. It can also remove the most stubborn causes of clogs, such as grease and oil.
