Hydro-Jetting Drain Cleaning: What to Expect

In addition to being a nuisance, clogged drains can endanger your health and cause property damage if they are not fixed. The first response to this as a homeowner should be to try out basic home remedies like a plunger or some dissolving solution, but if it doesn't, it's time to call a professional drain cleaning service. Luckily, professionals of Mr. Rooter Plumbing offer various plumbing services, including drain cleaning and drain line repair in Killeen, TX. If you are new to the entire process, you may be wondering how the process is going to be. In this article, we will go over some of the things you should expect and other information you may need to know.

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.
