If there is a clog in your plumbing, this procedure may save you a headache.
If you find that your home stinks to high heaven no matter how much you clean it, it may be your sewer’s fault. Sewer lines get backed up for several reasons, but a small bottle of drain cleaner won’t be enough to handle the problem when they do.
For serious clogs in your sewer or kitchen lines, you’ll need high-powered, pressurized water to clear away any grease and debris. That’s when plumbing companies like Diamondback Plumbing Services bring in the Hydro-Jet.
What is Hydro-Jetting?
Simply put, hydro-jetting is the process of using pressurized water to clean sewer and kitchen lines. Generally, plumbers bring a van with hydro-jetting equipment to the service location. Before the hydro-jetting occurs, plumbers must clean as much of the blockage using augers and other hand tools.
Then, pressurized water of up to 15,000 psi is shot through the location’s pipes using various nozzle heads. This water is meant to knock loose any material left behind by the initial cleaning.
The result is an immaculate set of pipes that allow effortless flow. The added benefit is that sewer odors will no longer linger in your home.
How Do I Know If I Need Hydro-Jetting?
Unless you own a restaurant, the chances of needing Hydro-Jetting are slim. Most home drains can be easily cleared by professionals using hand tools. However, kitchen drains can occasionally find themselves clogged.
The mixture of food scraps, grease, and hair that often forms these obstructions is challenging to remove with hand tools. In this case, a hydro-jetting may be needed to clean your lines.
Of course, if you own a restaurant, then hydro-jetting may be a service that you will need regularly. Restaurants tend to deal with both high volumes of waste and irresponsible customers.
This combination often leads to clogged sewer lines. If you own a restaurant, you may want to cozy up to your local plumber, as you may need their service more than you would expect.
Is Hydro-Jetting Right For Me?
If you are dealing with several clogs in your home or one particularly stubborn one, you may want to try hydro-jetting. Otherwise, a simple drain cleaning should do the job. If you often seem to experience these types of clogs, especially if you run a business, it would be good to familiarize yourself with the hydro-jetting process.
The most critical decision you can make for your plumbing comes when choosing a reliable plumbing company. A trustworthy plumber will give your drains and lines a proper inspection and advise you to take the appropriate steps for your home’s health.
