Everything You Need To Know About Hydro Jetting

November 26, 2022

Hydro jetting is a process of using high-pressure water to clean clogged or blocked drains and pipes. The hydro jetting equipment consists of a pump that generates high-pressure water, a hose with a nozzle attachment, and a control panel. The operator controls the direction and pressure of the water stream from the control panel.


Hydro jetting can be used for various drain and pipe-cleaning applications, such as 

  • Removing grease, sludge, scale, and sediment buildup from sewer lines, storm drains, and catch basins. 
  • Cleaning kitchen grease traps
  • Unclogging bathroom sink, tub, and shower drain.
  • Clearing main line blockages. 


It is also an effective method for preparing pipes for relining or repair.


The average hydro jetting cost ranges from $175 to $450 per hour, with most homeowners spending between $300 and $400 for a single service call. The price varies depending on the severity of the clog, the accessibility of the drain or pipe, and the length of time it takes to clear the blockage.


How Hydro Jetting Helps?

Hydro jetting is an effective way to clean your pipes and remove buildup. It uses high-pressure water to blast through clogs and debris, making it a powerful tool for clearing tough blockages. Hydro jetting can also remove tree roots and other difficult obstructions.



When Do You Need Hydro Jetting?

Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to get the clogged pipes clean. This method is often used to remove tree roots, grease, and other debris that can cause blockages in your sewer line. Hydro jetting is a safe and effective way to clean your pipes, and it can be used on all types of pipe materials, including PVC, cast iron, and copper.


Benefits of Hydro Jetting

Hydro jetting is a powerful and effective way to clear out clogged drains. The high-pressure water jet blasts through the clog, breaking it up and flushing it away. This leaves your drain clean and working properly again.


There are many benefits to hydro jetting, including the following:


1. It's Effective - Hydro jetting is one of the most effective ways to remove even the toughest clogs. The high-pressure water can break up any type of blockage, including grease, hair, tree roots, and more.


2. It's Fast - Hydro jetting is a quick way to clear out your drains. The entire process usually only takes a few minutes, so you won't have to wait for your drains to be cleared for hours or even days.


3 It's Safe - Hydro jetting is a safe and gentle way to clear out your drains without damaging them. The high-pressure water used in hydro jetting is soft enough that it won't damage your pipes or fixtures like some other methods (such as chemical drain cleaners) can.


Conclusion

Hydro jetting is an effective way to clean your drains and pipes, and it's a great option if you're looking for an alternative to traditional methods like drain snaking. Hydro jetting is safe and environmentally friendly and can be used on all types of piping.
