Hydro jet drain cleaning is an enhanced plumbing approach that uses high-pressure water jets to clear blockages and wash the interior wall surfaces of pipelines. Unlike traditional drainpipe snaking, which just punches a hole through a blockage, hydro jetting completely gets rid of debris build-up throughout the pipeline system.
An experienced plumbing contractor inserts a specialized hose and nozzle in to the drain or sewer line. The nozzle launches water at exceptionally high pressure– often up to 4,000 PSI– which scours the pipeline interior and clears particles out of the plumbing system.
Hydro jetting is typically utilized for:
- Extreme drain clogs
- Sewage system line clogs
- Oil accumulation in kitchen drain pipes
- Tree root invasion
- Sludge and debris build-up
- Preventative drain maintenance
Because the process makes use of just water pressure, hydro jetting is environmentally friendly and risk-free for most plumbing systems when performed by trained professionals.
