Hydro jet drain cleaning is an advanced plumbing method that uses high-pressure water jets to clear obstructions and wash the interior wall surfaces of pipes. Unlike conventional drainpipe snaking, which just punches an opening through an obstruction, hydro jetting completely gets rid of debris build-up throughout the pipe system.
An experienced plumbing contractor inserts a specialized hose and nozzle inside the drainpipe or drain line. The nozzle launches water at incredibly high pressure– normally as much as 4,000 PSI– which scours the pipeline inner parts and clears particles out of the plumbing system.
Hydro jetting is typically utilized for:
- Severe drainpipe clogs
- Sewage system line blockages
- Oil build-up in kitchen drain pipes
- Tree root invasion
- Sludge and sediment build-up
- Preventative drain maintenance
Since the process uses just water pressure, hydro jetting is environmentally friendly and safer for most plumbing systems when carried out by qualified professionals.
