Hydro jetting is a method used by plumbers to clean clogged drains and pipes using high-pressure water streams to remove blockages, debris, and buildup.

Hydro jetting involves using a specialized nozzle attached to a high-pressure hose. Water is propelled through the nozzle at extremely high pressures, which effectively clears out blockages and cleans the inner walls of pipes.

Yes, hydro jetting is generally safe for plumbing systems when performed by a trained professional. The high-pressure water used in hydro jetting is strong enough to clear blockages but won’t damage properly installed pipes.

Hydro jetting can effectively remove various types of blockages, including grease, sludge, hair, soap scum, mineral deposits, and tree roots.

The duration of a hydro jetting service can vary depending on the severity of the blockage and the size of the plumbing system. On average, it can take anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours to complete.

Hydro jetting is a clean and efficient method of drain cleaning. Most of the mess is contained within the pipes, and any residual debris is flushed away with the water.

When performed correctly by a trained professional, hydro jetting should not damage your pipes. However, it’s essential to have an inspection done beforehand to ensure the pipes are in good condition and can withstand the high-pressure water.

The frequency of hydro jetting maintenance depends on various factors such as the age of your plumbing system, usage patterns, and the presence of any underlying issues. Generally, it’s recommended to schedule hydro jetting every 1-2 years for preventive maintenance.

Before scheduling hydro jetting, it’s essential to inform your plumber of any known issues with your plumbing system, such as weak joints or old pipes. Additionally, it’s a good idea to clear the area around the affected drains to allow easy access for the plumber.
