High pressure water jetting or hydro jetting offers an effective solution for most clogged drains and sewer lines. Built up accumulations of grease, oil, sludge, hair, dirt and other debris as well as infiltration by tree roots and other foreign materials can cause drain and sewer lines to clog.
Traditional rootering techniques use a mechanical cutting head attached to a thick metal cable (often called a snake) to cut through clogs. While this method works well to cut through clogs, it leaves behind a lot of residual debris that can soon start forming a new clog.
High pressure water jetting does a much more thorough job of clearing clogged pipes. Water jetting uses water sprayed under very high pressure to cut through clogs in drain lines and sewer lines. Special high pressure hoses with spray nozzles at the end are inserted into the pipe and pushed or pulled the length of the pipe while blasting water at very high pressure. The high pressure water spray clears clogs by cutting through tree roots, grease, hair, paper, and other organic materials.
In addition, water jetting scours the inside of the pipe and removes all of the debris from the pipe walls including grease, oil, sludge, dirt, and other foreign materials. Unlike rootering which simply cuts through a clog, water jetting actually cleans the inside of the pipe and returns it to nearly new condition. The water spray then drains through the pipe, flushing away the removed debris.
For industrial and commercial drains that are subjected to high volumes of grease, oil, sludge, or other materials, regular water jetting can help minimize business interruptions by keeping your drain and sewer lines flowing freely.
