Hydro-Jetting Drain Cleaning: What to Expect

Inspection- The First Step

A video camera is one of the most important equipment when it comes to many different plumbing services, especially for leaks and clogs. An experienced and skilled technician inserts a rod with a video camera attached to its tip into the sewage lines. This way, the pipes can be inspected in all directions, and professionals can see whether there's a leak or a clog.

There are several ways to remove drain clogs; once we've determined that this is your problem, our drain-clearing specialists will get to work. Here is a quick summary of some of the procedures and ways of high-pressure drain cleaning.

What Is Hydro Jetting?

Your plumber can recommend a service like hydro-jetting to remove stubborn buildup from the inside of your pipes if he discovers that hard water or other buildup has raised the chance of clog growth. Hydro jetting, a kind of drain cleaning, can be used to clear out clogged sewage lines and slow-moving drains. In this technique, water is sent down the pipes with a very strong pressure and destroys every blockage on its way. It's beneficial for a variety of reasons. In addition to clogs, it also destroys hardened scales, tree roots, grease, debris, sludge, food particles, and hair.

To avoid using a professional drain cleaner: 

• Don't put every item down the garbage disposal just because they're considered food. Items like eggshells and coffee grounds should never be sent down disposal.
• Don't throw grease or any type of oil down the drain.
• Pour a mixture of vinegar, baking soda, and hot water down the drain once a month in between professional drain cleaning.
• Hire a professional drain cleaner to prevent clogs and prevent expensive repairs in the future.
