What Is Hydro-Jetting and When Is It Necessary?

When a business or home suffers a clog in a drain or in the plumbing system, trying to loosen it with a plumber’s snake is usually a good first step. If the clog is found to be immoveable, a local plumbing expert must be called upon to use hydro-jetting on the blockage. Learn more about this highly effective and eco-friendly clog-removal method by reading below:

What is it?
Hydro-jetting is an alternative method for clearing out blocked or impacted drains and pipes. When a plumbing crew encounters an especially stubborn clog, they will often call for a high-pressure water jetter, which looks like a bit like a larger version of the pressure washers that you might buy in a hardware store. The jetter has a long hose with a number of tiny holes in its tip for releasing water. Once the plumbers have lined the hose up with the clog, they will switch on the jetter’s motor, which blasts water out of the holes in the end of the hose at nearly 3,500 psi. These fine jets of water can easily slice through and break up clogs, thus clearing the drain.

When is it Necessary?
There are some pipe clogs that a snake will have no effect on, such as impacted tree roots, grease buildup, or tightly compacted debris. In such an event, hydro-jetting will become necessary as an environmentally-friendly alternative to drain cleaners. The powerful jets of water from a hydro-jetter can cut just as well as they flush, making them an ideal choice for slicing through roots and solid debris in the pipe. Hydro-jetting is most often utilized by restaurants, grocery stores, and other places at which large amounts of waste grease or debris must be disposed of.
