What is Hydro-Jetting Service?
Hydro jetting is an effective process to clean all kinds of blockages in a sewer line or fixture drain. In a sewer line, the most common types of waste build-up are grease, scale, and tree roots. For a shower, bathtub, or bathroom sink, most stoppages are caused by hair and scale buildup. Laundry lines also have scale build-up but can also have lint and heavy soap scum. Kitchen sink drains are usually the dirtiest household drains since they have broken down food and grease in addition to common scale buildup.
Often the kitchen and laundry join at some point and share a drainpipe over to the sewer tie-in location. In this case, the food, grease, lint, and scale can all contribute to a clog in this section of the pipe. Hydro jetting uses a high-pressure flow of water to clean the inner surfaces of the plumbing pipes. The pressurized water unblocks all these different types of build-up easily and can even cut through thick tree roots which may have grown into a sewer pipe.
Steps Used in Hydrojetting
When a professional plumbing company like Mitch Clemmons Plumbing performs hydrojetting, they typically follow a series of steps to ensure an effective and thorough cleaning of the plumbing system. Here is an outline of the general process:
- Initial Assessment: The plumbing company will conduct an initial assessment of the plumbing system to determine the extent of the blockage or buildup and identify any potential issues or concerns. They may use cameras or other diagnostic tools to inspect the pipes and locate the blockage.
- Preparation: The plumbing team will prepare the area by ensuring proper access to the affected pipes. This may involve removing drain covers or accessing cleanout points to gain entry to the plumbing system.
- Safety Precautions: Before commencing the hydrojetting process, the plumbing professionals will take appropriate safety precautions. They may wear protective gear, such as gloves and goggles, to safeguard against any potential splashing or debris.
- Inserting the Hydrojetting Equipment: A high-pressure water jetting machine will be used for the cleaning process. The plumbing team will insert the hydrojetting equipment into the access point, such as a cleanout or a drain, and carefully guide it into the affected pipe.
And How Do We Finish the Hydro Jet Process?
- High-Pressure Water Jetting: Once the hydrojetting equipment is properly positioned, the plumbing professionals will initiate the high-pressure water jetting process. The machine will deliver a powerful stream of water into the pipes, effectively removing blockages, debris, and buildup. The water pressure is adjusted based on the specific needs of the plumbing system, ensuring thorough cleaning without causing any damage.
- Continuous Monitoring: Throughout the hydrojetting process, the plumbing team will closely monitor the cleaning progress. They may use cameras or other inspection tools to assess the condition of the pipes and verify that the blockage is being effectively removed.
- Final Inspection: Once the hydrojetting process is deemed complete, the plumbing team will conduct a final inspection of the pipes to ensure that the blockage has been successfully cleared. They will also check for any signs of damage or potential issues that may require further attention.
