The best way to keep your plumbing out of harm’s way is to tackle problems head-on, both by reducing the risks of them forming and scheduling prompt repairs when they occur. There is one method that plumbers utilize that does both: hydro-jetting. This method of drain cleaning is used both proactively and reactively, making it a worthwhile investment for homeowners all across Washington. Keep reading to learn more. 

Here is the simplest answer we can provide: hydro-jetting is the method of blasting highly-pressurized water to scour the inside of your pipes.

The hydro-jetter itself consists of a water tank connected to an engine (electric or gas-powered) and a pump to put the water under pressure. The water is sent out a long hose with a spray nozzle attachment at the end. The nozzle can spray high-pressure water in multiple directions to reach all areas of the pipe. The hydro-jet is capable of removing clogs and blockages of all types and sizes.

There are numerous reasons as to why hydro-jetting has become a preferred method of drain cleaning amongst plumbers. Here are a few:

Due to its power, a hydro-jet is able to remove clogs and blockages of any size and type. It is able to rid your pipes completely of build-up due to fats, oils, grease, hair, and other inorganic and organic matter. Other drain cleaning methods will often leave behind traces of residue and build-up, but hydro-jetting will make your pipes as good as new!

Unlike chemical drain cleaners, hydro-jetting is a completely safe method of removing blockages and cleaning your pipes. The chemicals found inside home drain cleaners are extremely corrosive and eat away at your pipes. A hydro-jet uses only water to get the job done, so you can trust that your pipes will remain safe.

Hydro-jetting can be used both proactively and reactively. When you have a blockage deep within your plumbing system, the hydro-jet is the only tool that can remove it safely and effectively. In addition, regular drain cleaning via hydro-jetting significantly reduces the likelihood of further clogs from forming. Plus, hydro-jetting can be used in both commercial and residential plumbing systems, making it a great choice for homeowners and business owners alike.

Only a professional plumber has the knowledge, training, and experience necessary to operate a hydro-jet, as they are extremely powerful and can be quite dangerous if left in unqualified hands. Be sure to hire a professional when you need drain cleaning services.
