Signs Your Home Needs Hydro Jetting

Why Choose Hydro Jetting

Clogged drains. It’s the one thing every homeowner dreads. Clogs always seem to come out of the blue and happen at the most inconvenient times possible. They happen when you need to leave the house in a hurry or you’re having people over. Clogs are frustrating, annoying, and downright aggravating. They steal precious time away from our days and leave us with a mess to clean up afterward. Thankfully, there is a solution for this troubling, bothersome issue that every homeowner has experienced. It’s called hydro jetting and it might just be the answer you’re looking for.

Keep reading to learn about this clog-busting technology, reasons for drain clogs, and how hydro jetting works to get your home plumbing back to freely flowing once again.

What Is Hydro Jetting

Hydro jetting is an ingenious technology that uses the power of water to cut through gunk, blockages, and anything impeding your pipes from flowing. Hydro jetting works by forcing incredibly high-pressure blasts of water through the interior of your pipe. It cleans the entire pipe from every angle, ensuring that no part of a pipe is left untouched. The powerful water then washes everything it breaks free from the pipe down into your main sewer line and out to city plumbing.

Hydro jetting can work on an incredibly wide variety of pipe clogs and is perfectly safe. It’s especially useful for tough clogs that a regular auger or “plumbers snake” can’t push through. Even the most extreme of blockages are no match for a hydro jet. This powerful and efficient system can even cut through tree roots and complete pipe blockages, making a way for water to flow once more.

Why Are Your Drains Clogged?

Drains become clogged for a wide variety of reasons. Here are just a few that you may or may not be aware of.

• Foreign Objects: If you have small children, chances are you’ve found your child flushing something down the toilet that shouldn’t be going down the drain. If it managed to work its way through, it could contribute to a clog later on down the plumbing.
• Food Residue: Food and residue from grease or oil can build up in a pipe over time. After long enough, the buildup can completely block off the drainage capabilities.
• Tree Roots: Believe it or not, but tree roots can be a big problem for your home’s plumbing. Tree roots search for sources of water. Your pipes contain plenty of it so they’ll naturally gravitate to the sewer line. Tree roots are incredibly strong and will force their way through any crack. They can eventually fill up a pipe, impeding the flow of water and waste or even block it up altogether.

Hydro jetting can take care of each of these types of clogs without hesitating. Where normal clog removal techniques may not be powerful enough, hydro jetting answers the call.

Hydro Jetting a Clog

Though hydro jetting is a newer technology, plumbers everywhere are adopting this technique because of its safety, efficiency, and usefulness. When you have a clog that regular clog removal techniques can’t touch, a hydro jet will cut right through it. To avoid clogs in the first place, however, follow these two tips.

• Only Water: Only put water down any sink. Never put oil, grease, or fat down a sink.
• Only Toilet Paper: Only flush toilet paper down a toilet. Even “flushable” wipes should be discarded rather than flushed.
