The Five Benefits of Hydrojetting

• Maneuverability- The hose and nozzle apparatus that is used during the hydrojetting process is highly maneuverable. This means that it allows plumbers to target clogs and to clean out the plumbing system through a minimally invasive procedure.
• Range of Cleaning Capabilities- Clogs in pipes and sewer lines can be caused by a variety of different materials. Hydrojetting is effective against all types of clogs, including those caused by tree roots, sand, mud, grease, soap, and more.
• Cost Savings- Over time, hydrojetting generally saves money because it provides a thorough cleaning that tends to do away with the need for more plumbing system maintenance in the near future. It improves the functioning of a plumbing system and makes it so that other malfunctions in plumbing equipment are avoided or much less likely to clog.
• An Improved System- Hydrojetting to get a plumbing system clean simply leads to a better plumbing system with improved functioning. Clogs in drains and pipes are some of the most common and cumbersome plumbing issues, and hydrojetting prevents them.
• Eradicates Bacteria- Bacterial buildup in a home's plumbing system can cause health hazards and other problems. Hydrojetting cleans away bacteria and cleanses the plumbing system of potentially harmful contaminants.

How Does Hydrojetting Work?

The first step to hydrojetting a home's plumbing system generally involves inspecting the pipes and sewer lines to determine where clogs are forming and what they are composed of. After the inspection, a hose and nozzle are used to blast water into the system to remove buildup.

Buildup is rapidly washed away with water that is forced through pipes and sewer lines at a pressure that is typically around 4,000 psi.

If tree roots are causing clogs in the system, it might be necessary to put a mechanical drain snake down the sewer line to tear the roots away before the actually hydrojetting can begin.
