How Does Hydro Jetting Work?
Hydro jetting is particularly effective for addressing tough and persistent clogs in sewer and drain lines affected by grease, sludge, or mineral deposits. It is a preferred method in commercial settings, such as restaurants and industrial facilities, where grease buildup is a common issue, but it is suitable for residential applications as well.
Here's how the hydro jetting process typically works:
- Inspection: Before starting the hydro jetting process, a plumber will often conduct a thorough inspection of the pipes using a camera to identify the location and nature of the clog or buildup.
- Pressurized Water: The hydro jetting machine is then connected to the plumbing system. The machine pressurizes water to extremely high levels, often ranging from 1,500 to 4,000 pounds per square inch (psi).
- Specialized Nozzle: The nozzle attached to the end of the hose is designed with multiple jets that spray water in various directions. This allows for thorough cleaning of the pipe's interior walls.
- High-Pressure Cleaning: The high-pressure water is then released through the nozzle, and it propels forward through the pipe, effectively dislodging and flushing away the blockages and debris.
- Clearing the Line: As the water jet moves through the pipe, it not only clears the immediate clog but also helps remove any buildup or residue along the pipe walls, leaving the pipe clean and free-flowing.
An Effective Solution for Tree Roots in Sewer Lines
Tree roots in sewer lines are a common and potentially serious plumbing issue that can lead to costly repairs if not addressed promptly. When trees are planted near sewer lines, their roots can seek out sources of moisture and nutrients, which often leads them to infiltrate the pipes. Even small cracks or joints in the pipes can release moisture that attracts roots, particularly from certain tree species. Trees with aggressive root systems, such as oak trees, are known to be more invasive and prone to causing issues.
Signs that tree roots may be infiltrating your sewer lines include:
- Slow drains or backups in multiple drains within your home
- Unusual gurgling or bubbling noises coming from drains or toilets
- Foul odors emanating from drains or toilets
- Visible signs of pipe damage, such as cracks, breaks, or intrusion points
Hydro jetting is one way to deal with this common plumbing problem. If you suspect tree roots are causing issues in your sewer lines, it's crucial to have Hydro Plumbing conduct an inspection. We can assess the extent of the root intrusion and determine whether hydro jetting can be used to clear out and flush away the roots.
Is Hydro Jetting Worth It?
Yes! If you have a stubborn clog in your sewer lines, hydro jetting is a safe, effective, and non-invasive way to remove it. Hydro jetting is especially worth it if you have recurring drain problems that seem to keep popping up. This method is able to clean sewer lines deep underground that conventional drain cleaning services may not be able to reach. While hydro jetting may cost you more than a regular drain cleaning up front, the investment will save you time and money later and provides long-lasting results.
