Hydro Jetting Services Explained
Snaking with a mechanical rooter that might inflict damage on delicate pipes is no longer the solution for age-old sewer lines. Utilizing hydro jetting services is definitely the better option to deal with a stubborn sewer line obstruction.
Commercial and industrial sites typically require frequent high-pressure water jetting to remove clogs because otherwise they can result in significant down time and loss of revenue. The main cause of commercial drain line blockages is the sludge, sand, grease and debris which accumulates over time.
Hydro-jetting services utilize extremely high-pressure water to obliterate these significant blockages. The contractor will use fiber-optic video technology to locate and identify the clog, and assess the health of your pipes. They’ll then select the most appropriate hydro-jetting head and pressure to handle the problem.
The process starts with the hydro-jet being submerged into the sewer line. The head of the line contains tiny jets that dispense hot water at knife-like pressure up to 4,000 p.s.i. The force of the water scours the internal surface of the pipe to remove sludge build-up without damaging the pipe. It also reduces debris, like tree roots, to a semi-solid slurry.
The many benefits of hydro jetting services include:
- It does not just unclog, it actually cleans the pipe
- Prevents buildup of clogs for a longer period of time
- It’s more efficient than snaking the line
- It’s more economical than the standard methods
- Environmentally safe
The advantage of hydro jetting services is that it cleans, not just unclogs. A single pipe cleaning with a hydro-jetting maintenance system can also avoid the need for an emergency call to clear blockages or tree roots. Water jet machine service means cleaner pipes, which means fewer service calls and overall cost savings. Regular maintenance of at least one or two cleanings annually, will keep lines clear. Be sure to schedule a program for water jetting service that keeps your drains flowing.
