Are you constantly dealing with clogged or slow drains? Caldwell Plumbing has the answer. Hydro jetting, also known as power drain flushing, uses highly pressurized water to break up and remove stubborn clogs and buildup from the walls of your pipes.
Drain power flushing is your best bet for maintaining clean, clear drains and will always be your most effective solution to remove blockages. Let’s explore some of the hydro jetting benefits and how the experts at Caldwell Plumbing can help keep your drains running smoothly!
What Is Hydro Jetting?
Hydro jetting uses a special piece of plumbing equipment known as a jetter, consisting of a water tank, hose, nozzle, and a device that pressurizes water in the nozzle. This method works by inserting the nozzle into the pipe and then shooting a high-pressure jet of water to break apart and dislodge blockages.
There are various types of nozzles, including those that work like chisels and can break through hard materials, such as tree roots or ice. This water, pressurized at up to 3,500 psi, comes out of the nozzle with tremendous force. Clogs or debris don’t stand a chance against power drain flushing. We recommend a drain camera inspection to begin the process, pinpointing the location and type of clog you are dealing with for a minimally invasive solution.
Benefits of Hydro Jetting
Thorough Cleaning
Hydro jetting can remove all types of blockages and buildup, from soap to oils, grease, and mineral deposits. It weaponizes water in a powerful way that blasts away nearly anything. Even mud, soap, sand, and industrial or commercial debris won’t hold on when met with a blast of highly pressured water.
Eco-Friendly and Environmentally Sustainable
Hydro jetting is chemical-free; all it uses is water. This has zero negative environmental effects and provides customers with an eco-friendly way to clear any pipe without causing damage. If you live near a lake, river, or body of water and are nervous about using chemicals, hydro jetting provides you with peace of mind in knowing you’re protecting the environment.
Efficient Action
Unclogging a pipe is rarely a clean job. Other methods, like drain snaking, can involve a lot of dirty work with a risk of sewage and debris coming out of the pipe, potentially leaving you with some cleaning to do. This doesn’t have to be the case. Another of the hydro jetting benefits is that this service works quickly and effectively, clearing your plumbing system without the mess and headache.
Versatile Drain Cleaning Method
It does not matter if it’s a sink drain, bathtub or shower drain, or another drain in your home or place of business. Hydro jetting can be safely used on all types of pipes, from steel to cement sewer pipes, clay pipes and resin-based pipelines. Even in hard-to-reach places, hydro jetting can get in there and get the job done.
Maintain Clear Drains For Longer
Clear your plumbing using this method to prevent future blockages. After hydro jetting is over, you can inspect your pipe with a camera and see first-hand that it’s completely clear of obstructions. There are no residuals coating the inside walls of your pipe. With other methods, you might leave behind buildup that can cause future plumbing failures.
Situations Where Hydro Jetting Is Required
Hydro jetting is effective at clearing recurring blockages, tree root intrusions, and extensive plumbing build-up.
If you live in an older home with fragile or hard-to-navigate plumbing, let a plumber at Caldwell Plumbing complete an inspection before recommending hydro jetting. Drain power flushing can typically handle fragile or old pipes without damaging them; however, to be safe, always have an expert take a look.
Long-Term Drain Maintenance
After our plumbers clear your system of blockages, the next step is to set up a long-term drain maintenance plan to ensure it stays that way. This involves regular drain inspections, proper disposal practices, and taking preventative measures to avoid these issues in the future.
