When is Hydro-Jetting Necessary?

Hydro-jetting is necessary in the following situations:

• Severe Clogs: When traditional methods like snaking or chemical cleaners fail to clear a clog, hydro-jetting can effectively break up and remove stubborn blockages.
• Recurring Clogs: If you experience frequent clogs, it could indicate a buildup of debris or grease in the pipes. Hydro-jetting can thoroughly clean the pipes, reducing the likelihood of future clogs.
• Tree Root Infiltration: In cases where tree roots have infiltrated the sewer line, hydro-jetting can cut through and remove the roots, restoring proper flow.
• Preventative Maintenance: For businesses or homes with older plumbing systems, hydro-jetting can be used as preventative maintenance to keep pipes clear and prevent major issues.
• Heavy Grease Buildup: In commercial kitchens or other environments where grease is prevalent, hydro-jetting is often necessary to clear grease that has solidified inside the pipes.
• Pre-Sewer Line Inspection: Before a sewer line inspection, hydro-jetting can clean the pipes, allowing for a more accurate assessment of the condition of the sewer line.

Why Choose Hydro-Jetting?

Hydro-jetting is a technology that pushes highly pressurized water through your pipes. This method is effective at removing blockages such as hair, grease, mineral scale, and even tree roots. Unlike snaking your drain, hydro-jetting can reach the hardest places in the pipeline for a comprehensive cleaning. The corrosive chemicals many homeowners use to clear blockages often break down the pipes, making problems even worse.

Benefits of hydro-jetting include:

• Can be used for many drain systems
• Completely removes even the toughest clogs and blockages
• Can be used as maintenance on heavily used systems
• Pipes are restored to a like-new condition
