What Is Hydrojetting?
Hydrojetting is a highly effective technique plumbing professionals use to clear clogs and debris from drains and sewer lines. Here’s how it works:
High-Pressure Water Stream: Hydrojetting uses a specialized machine that propels water at extremely high pressures into the pipes, scouring the interior of the pipes and effectively removing various obstructions.
Debris Removal: The hydrojet stream dislodges and flushes away grease, scale, tree roots, and other buildups that can cause blockages. Unlike traditional methods, such as snaking or chemical cleaners, hydrojetting provides a more thorough and long-lasting solution.
Non-Damaging: Hydro jetting is gentle on the pipes themselves. It effectively clears stubborn clogs without causing damage to the plumbing system.
Benefits of Hydro Jetting Drain Cleaning:
Thorough Cleaning: Hydro jetting ensures comprehensive removal of all debris inside drains.
Environmentally Friendly: Since it relies on water pressure instead of harsh chemicals, it’s eco-friendly.
Preventative Maintenance: Regular hydrojetting helps prevent future clogs by thoroughly clearing potential obstructions.
Versatility: It can be used in various types and sizes of pipes without causing damage.
The frequency of hydrojetting depends on various factors, including the specific plumbing system, its usage, and any recurring issues. Here are some general guidelines:
Preventative Maintenance: It’s advisable to schedule hydrojetting for commercial buildings as part of annual preventative maintenance. Regular cleaning helps prevent major clogs and keeps the system flowing smoothly.
High-Usage Areas: If your commercial property, such as restaurants, hotels, or industrial facilities, experiences heavy usage, consider more frequent hydrojetting. These places accumulate grease, food particles, and other debris faster.
Signs of Blockages: Observe signs that indicate potential blockages, such as slow drains, foul odors, or recurring backups. If you notice any of these issues, consider scheduling hydrojetting promptly.
After Major Events: After significant events like construction work, remodeling, or changes in the plumbing system, consider hydrojetting to clear any debris or construction materials that might have entered the pipes.
Tree Roots: If your property has mature trees nearby, their roots can infiltrate sewer lines. In such cases, hydrojetting may be necessary every one to two years to keep the roots in check.
Specific Industry Requirements: Some industries, such as restaurants, may need more frequent hydrojetting due to grease buildup. Consult with a professional plumber to determine the best schedule.
