What is Hydro-Jetting
Hydro jetting is a non-invasive method of clearing stubborn clogs from pipes. It is an alternative to using a snake or excavating and removing sections of hard-to-reach, clogged pipe.
A hydro jet is like a power washer, except instead of cleaning a sidewalk it cleans the inside of a pipe. With the force of 1500 – 5000 psi, a hydro jet can clear hair clogs, grease, and even root bulbs. The process is not very time-consuming, either.
However, this procedure is something only professionals should attempt. Ideally, a plumber might even conduct a video inspection of your pipes to pinpoint the exact location of the clog. The amount of pressure needed for hydro jetting can be dangerous.
If you do have issues with backed up drains, and you know it’s something related to a clog down the line, not easily accessible, then you should consider hydro jetting. This unclogging method is also more likely to guarantee clearer pipes for a longer period of time than other, more affordable DIY methods.
