Hydro Jetting Service

Hydro jetting is a powerful plumbing technique used to clear blockages and clean pipes using high-pressure water. It involves the use of a specialized machine that pumps water at extremely high pressures, typically ranging from 1,500 to 4,000 pounds per square inch (psi). The pressurized water is directed through a specially designed nozzle, which creates a strong jet that can break up and remove stubborn debris, such as grease, tree roots, scale, and sludge. As the water jets through the pipes, it thoroughly cleans the interior surfaces, leaving them clear and free of obstructions. Hydro jetting is highly effective, versatile, and non-invasive, making it suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial plumbing systems. Regular hydro jetting can also serve as preventive maintenance, helping to keep pipes clean and minimizing the chances of future clogs and blockages.

Signs You Need Hydro Jetting

There are several signs that indicate you may need hydro jetting to clear your pipes and address plumbing issues. Here are some common signs:

Frequent clogs: If you’re experiencing persistent clogs in your drains or toilets, even after attempting other methods like plunging or using drain cleaners, it could indicate a buildup of debris and blockages that require hydro jetting to fully clear.

Slow drainage: If water is draining slowly from your sinks, showers, or tubs, it may indicate a partial blockage in the pipes. Hydro jetting can effectively remove the buildup and restore proper drainage.

Foul odors: Persistent foul smells coming from your drains or sewage system could indicate a buildup of organic matter or other debris. Hydro jetting can help eliminate the source of the odor by thoroughly cleaning the pipes.

Backups or overflows: If wastewater is backing up into your sinks, showers, or toilets, or if you experience sewage overflows, it indicates a severe blockage in the plumbing system. Hydro jetting can remove the blockage and restore proper flow.

Recurring plumbing issues: If you find yourself frequently calling a plumber to address similar plumbing issues, such as recurring clogs or backups, it may suggest an underlying problem that requires hydro jetting to fully resolve.

Tree root intrusion: If you have trees or shrubs planted near your sewer lines, their roots can infiltrate and cause blockages. Hydro jetting can effectively clear out the roots and restore proper flow.

Old plumbing systems: If you have an older plumbing system that hasn’t undergone maintenance or cleaning in a long time, there is a higher likelihood of debris buildup and blockages. Hydro jetting can be an effective solution to restore the system’s functionality.

What to Expect

When you opt for hydro jetting to address plumbing issues, there are several key aspects to expect. At Pierce Bay Plumbing, we will conduct a thorough inspection of your plumbing system to identify the location and severity of the blockage or buildup. Next, we will prepare the system by shutting off water supply valves and taking necessary precautions to ensure safety and minimize potential damage. The hydro jetting process itself involves using a specialized machine that delivers high-pressure water through a nozzle inserted into the affected pipes or drains. The powerful jets of water effectively break up and remove debris, such as grease, sludge, tree roots, and mineral deposits, leaving the pipes clean and clear. After completion, we may conduct a final inspection to ensure the blockage has been fully cleared, and provide recommendations for preventive maintenance or repairs to mitigate future issues.
