If you've dealt with clogged pipes at some point, youll know that clogged drains are no fun. Apart from making it difficult to carry out normal household chores like washing dishes and doing laundry, clogged drains can cause unpleasant odors and leakages.
There are a variety of methods that can be used to clear clogs in plumbing pipes, but hydro jetting is one of the most effective. If your pipes are frequently clogging, hydro jetting may be the best procedure to tackle the problem.
At Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Youngstown, we provide reliable and affordable hydro jetting services to help our customers keep their plumbing pipes running smoothly.
In this article, we will outline the benefits of hydro jetting your clogged pipes to help you decide if this method is right for you.
Hydro jetting is the process of feeding a high-pressure hose with a specialized nozzle down your pipes and then releasing high-velocity water that clears clogs and debris buildup on pipe walls.
A qualified plumber inserts a nozzle into the clogged pipe and then shoots a high-pressure jet of water ranging from 3,000 to 8, 000 psi. The intense water pressure breaks up any blockages in the pipes and moves the debris through the pipe, leaving the pipe in perfect condition.
The main benefit of hydro jetting is its ability to leave your pipes completely clear. The pressurized water at about 4,000 psi gets into the smallest of spaces in clogged pipes and washes away even the smallest of dust particles. The intense water pressure blasts out all of the stubborn clogs or obstructions in your pipes, including the toughest tree roots, leaving your pipes like new on the inside.
Because of the effectiveness of the pressurized water, it is more difficult for debris to build up in pipes after hydro jetting. This means that your pipes will run smoothly for a longer period, thereby saving you money in the long run.
Chemical drain cleaners can react with the metal in plumbing pipes and cause corrosion and other problems. Hydro-jetting only uses pressurized water to get rid of clogs, so you can rest assured your pipes will be safe.
Unlike the use of chemical drain cleaners, hydro jetting blasts through clogs, obstructions, and buildup without chemicals. So it will not contaminate the soil, groundwater, and other sources of water. This makes it a viable pipe cleaning choice for properties near water sources.
