Drains clog every now and then – especially when you consider all the grease, grime, particulates and other debris they have to handle. You can troubleshoot clogged or slow drains yourself with liquid cleaners or a snake, but if those methods fail you may want to consider getting your drains properly cleared. Our suggestion would be hydro-jetting. Hydro-jetting involves discovering the point in the plumbing where there is an issue via video inspection, then using high-pressured water (usually up to 8,000 PSI) to blast through the blockage.
Hydro-jetting is fast, effective and, when done correctly, will not damage your plumbing. Key benefits of hydro-jetting include:
Eco-friendly: Hydrojetting is a sustainable means of drain cleaning, as water is the key ingredient to the process. It doesn’t use potentially harmful chemicals, as you’ll find in many liquid cleaners.
Inexpensive: When many homeowners discover a clogged pipe, they purchase a liquid drain cleaner to clear it, which may work well for a short time. The pipe will eventually clog again, forcing them to purchase another cleaning product. Hydro-jetting may cost more upfront than other drain-clearing measures, but hydro-jetting clears out the entire pipe – not just parts of it. This keeps the plumber away for longer because the risk of an immediate reclog is minimal.
Effectiveness: Because it’s worth mentioning again, hydro-jetting is very effective at removing the entire clog and not just parts of it like a snake or chemical may do.
