What Is Drain Jetting?

First, let’s talk about what exactly drain jetting is. Another name for drain jetting is high-pressure water jetting. This is a method used to clear drains effectively. There is water stored in tanks that runs through a high-pressure hose with a jet nozzle.

Drain jetting hoses are able to travel much farther down your home pipes than a drain rod. Because they can get further down, have more force, and can move in any direction it can push even the toughest blockages in your pipes.

What Does It Help Clear?

Drain jetting or hydro jetting is able to get rid of almost all types of blockages. If you are dealing with a blockage that occurred from waste, grease, or fat, drain jetting will remove it. If you are dealing with blockage from something else such as a tree root, this too can be pushed through.

Older plumbing lines that have years of build-up can really benefit from drain jetting. It will help eliminate all the debris that has accumulated over the years. If you live in an area that is sandy, hydro jetting will flush your system out completely and not allow any sand to sit in your pipes.

Please keep in mind that hydro jetting will not fix broken pipes and if there are any weak areas in your pipes the pressure can cause those weak areas to break.

How Does It Work?

The hydrojetting tool is able to work from the bottom up. Most home plumbing systems remove buildup with the help of gravity. Plumbing systems use gravity to pull any wastewater out of the home.

A hydrojetting tool is put into the downstream portion of the plumbing system and moves upstream instead of downstream. It works its way up the system instead of working from the top to bottom.

Once the plumber is done drain jetting it’s best if they do a video inspection to see if they got to the root of the problem.

A bonus of drain jetting is that it will not only remove blockages it will also clean your drains at the same time. The power of the jet spray is so strong that it will have your pipes squeaky clean and blockage free.

How Safe Is It?

Wondering if this is a good idea for your pipes or not? The key is to have a professional plumbing jetter take care of the task at hand. A pro will make sure that they follow all of the safety guidelines and proper procedures when operating a water jetter.

An expert will have knowledge of how much water pressure is the right amount for the problem at hand. They will not put too much pressure causing your pipes to burst, and will also not apply too little pressure in turn, not fixing the problem. This will give you peace of mind that your drains will be cleared without added stress.

You want to find a plumber that will inspect the sewer lines and the plumbing system inside with special video camera equipment before getting to work. It is important for the root of the problem to be assessed to make sure that hydrojetting is the answer. You do not want them to break your pipes.

On certain occasions, it might not be the best route to take and can lead to more problems. For example, if the issue is a tree root that led to pipe damage or it compromised the pipe’s waterproof coating, hydrojetting is not going to solve this problem. It can instead cause rocks and soil to come through the damaged pipes.

Difference Between Snaking and Drain Jetting?

If you are thinking that you can just continue snaking your own pipes instead of having a plumber come out to perform a hydro flush – there is a difference.

Hydro jetting is the only method of these two that can completely remove the cause of the blockage semi-permanently. This means that you will not have to hydro jet your plumbing system again in the near future because it will get to the root of the problem.

Snaking does not always reopen the full diameter of the pipe, giving room for the blockages to happen again. Drain jetting, on the other hand, is able to restore the full diameter of the pipe.

If you have a simple drain clog then snaking is the most cost-effective option, but drain jetting is a longer-term solution to a more complicated plumbing system clogs.

Ready to Clear Your Drain?

If you are spending too much time maintaining your drain and are having the same issues over and over again, then more than likely drain jetting is your answer. Now it’s time to call a professional in your area and have them come out to your home to take care of your pipes.
