What Is Hydro Jetting?

As the name suggests, hydro jetting uses a highly pressurized stream of water to unclog your drain pipe or sewer line system. It’s one of the best ways to keep your entire system clean. The process involves using a hydro jetting machine that’s attached to a flexible snake designed to travel deep within your plumbing system. A specially designed nozzle that covers the entire inside of the pipe as it moves through the system is attached at the tip of the snake. This makes it easy for our plumbers to work fast once they set up the equipment.

What Are the Signs That You Need Hydro Jetting Services?

There are a few typical signs that you may need hydro jetting because sometimes snaking the line may not do a good enough job. If the cleanout is overflowing or you have slow drainage, that could be a sign that the pipes are starting to build up debris, muck, and grease or there could be a blockage.

Other times you may notice multiple drains backing up or bad smells coming from your drains. All these issues indicate a more significant issue that will only be temporarily solved by snaking the drain.

How Effective Is Hydro Jetting?

The highly pressurized water used in hydro jetting can push grease, hair, minerals, and other blockages from your piping system. A hydro jetting system can also fit into pipes from as thin as 1 ½“ in diameter to as wide as 4’’ in diameter. This drain cleaning method is effective and better for you in the long run. However, if your pipes are really old and fragile, you can always call Hall’s Plumbing to check if it’s the right method to clean your pipes.
