It’s not unusual for drain lines to clog. Without regular maintenance and occasional cleaning, they can develop substantial blockages that prevent normal water flow. Using high-powered water jetting equipment, rooter services can cut through the debris to improve the functionality of your plumbing system. Below is more information about this valuable service.

What You Should Know About Water Jetting

How does the process work?

Rooter service technicians attach a nozzle to the affected drain or pipe and push water at a high pressure through the system. The powerful force tears through the clog and rinses it away, leaving your pipes clean and free of stubborn blockages.

Can it cause damage to the pipes?

Your drain cleaning service will assess pipes before performing any work. Highly pressurized water could cause vulnerable pipes to leak or lose their integrity. In those instances, they may suggest snaking the drains to gently loosen the clogs instead of water jetting. Otherwise, normal pipes shouldn’t be harmed from this process. 

Can water jetting remove anything?

It’s a highly effective way to remove dangerous blockages, such as tree roots causing trouble in sewer lines. Many homeowners opt for this method because it can break through common kitchen contaminants, like fats, oils, and greases, and eliminate scale that collects over time. Because the water pressure is controlled depending on the severity of the clog, your rooter service can easily break through the blockage using just the right amount of force.

Who is qualified to use water jets?

Only professionals should handle this equipment. Contractors generally perform video sewer inspections before they start the jetting process. This provides them with a clear idea of the source and location of the blockage, and they can use that information to determine how much pressure is needed to be effective. This also allows them to assess the condition of the pipes before working.
