1. What is hydrojetting, and how does it work?
Hydrojetting is a highly effective plumbing service that uses high-pressure water jets to clear blockages and buildup in pipes. The process involves sending a specialized nozzle through your plumbing system, which emits powerful streams of water that can remove grease, mineral deposits, tree roots, and other debris. This method not only clears existing clogs but also helps prevent future issues by thoroughly cleaning the pipe walls.
2. What are the benefits of choosing hydrojetting over traditional drain cleaning methods?
Hydrojetting offers several advantages compared to traditional drain cleaning methods. It provides a more thorough cleaning of the pipes, effectively removing stubborn blockages that may not be accessible through snaking or chemical treatments. Additionally, hydrojetting is environmentally friendly, as it relies solely on high-pressure water, eliminating the need for harsh chemicals. It also has a longer-lasting effect, reducing the likelihood of recurring clogs.
3. Is hydrojetting safe for all types of plumbing systems?
Hydrojetting is generally safe for most plumbing systems, including residential and commercial pipes made of PVC, cast iron, and other materials. However, it is essential to have a professional assessment conducted by our licensed technicians to determine if your specific plumbing system can handle the high-pressure water. In some cases, older or damaged pipes may require alternative methods to avoid potential issues.
4. How often should I consider hydrojetting for my plumbing system?
The frequency of hydrojetting depends on various factors, such as the age of your plumbing system, the amount of usage, and the presence of recurring clogs. As a general guideline, we recommend scheduling hydrojetting services every 1–2 years for homes with heavy usage or in areas prone to buildup. Our experts can provide personalized recommendations based on your plumbing conditions and history.
5. What should I expect during a hydrojetting service appointment?
During a hydrojetting service appointment, our licensed technicians will first conduct a thorough inspection of your plumbing system using video camera technology. This allows us to identify any specific issues and determine the best approach for hydrojetting. Once the assessment is complete, we will set up the hydrojetting equipment and begin the process, ensuring minimal disruption to your home. After the service, we will provide a detailed report on the condition of your pipes and any recommendations for maintaining peak performance.
