Sewer Line Hydro-Jetting Services
Need hydro-jetting plumbing services in Cypress, Houston, Tomball, Spring, or Magnolia? At Joe The Plumber, we're proud to offer hydro-jetting services as a premier solution for residential and commercial plumbing systems. Whether you're dealing with recurring clogs, slow drains, or just want to proactively maintain your plumbing system, hydro-jetting offers a powerful, non-invasive way to restore and enhance your pipes' functionality.
What is Hydro-Jetting?
Hydro-jetting is a method used by professional plumbing contractors to clean clogged or slow sewage lines. Using a high-pressure water jet, plumbers can clear any buildup, including grease, soap, and food waste. The process works by using jets that extend up to five hundred feet along the walls of the pipes, causing the force of the water to dislodge anything in its path. The procedure is known to be incredibly effective.
Only a professional plumbing contractor should perform hydro-jetting because an average homeowner may damage their lines if they are not properly inspected first. Experienced plumbers are trained on the equipment and know what to look for when inspecting your system.
Benefits of Hydro-Jetting
- Effectiveness: Hydro-jetting can remove even the most stubborn blockages, including tree roots, grease buildup, and other debris that can clog your pipes.
- Comprehensive Cleaning: Unlike traditional methods that may leave residue behind, hydro-jetting cleans the entire diameter of the pipe, offering a level of cleaning unmatched by other techniques.
- Safety for Your Pipes: Safe for most types of plumbing, hydro-jetting uses only water to clean your pipes, avoiding the use of harsh chemicals that can damage your plumbing over time.
- Preventative Maintenance: Regular hydro-jetting can prevent future clogs and build-up, saving you money and inconvenience in the long run.
- Less Disruptive than Trenching: Unlike trenching, which involves extensive digging and can disturb your property, hydro-jetting is performed internally within the pipes, making it less invasive.
- Complements Plumbing Inspections: Conducting a plumbing inspection before hydro-jetting ensures the identification of the specific issues, such as stubborn clogs, and determines the appropriateness of hydro-jetting for the situation
Hydro-Jetting versus Power washing
Hydro jetting and power washing are both methods that use high-pressure water to clean surfaces, but they are designed for different purposes and have distinct features:
Hydro Jetting
- Purpose: Specifically designed to clear and clean the inside of plumbing pipes. It effectively removes build-ups of grease, sediment, and other debris that cause clogs.
- Pressure Level: Uses extremely high water pressure, typically ranging from 7,000 to 60,000 PSI (pounds per square inch), which is necessary to clear out the inside of plumbing pipes.
- Application: Mainly used in plumbing systems, both residential and commercial. It's effective against tough blockages like tree roots, mineral build-up, and other stubborn obstructions.
- Equipment: Requires professional plumbing equipment and expertise, often involving a hose and nozzle that can navigate the twists and turns of plumbing pipes.
Power Washing
- Purpose: Primarily used for cleaning surfaces such as driveways, decks, patios, siding, and other exterior areas susceptible to dirt, mold, and grime.
- Pressure Level: Generally operates at lower pressures than hydro jetting, ranging from about 1,300 to 3,000 PSI, which is sufficient for most residential cleaning tasks.
- Application: Used on a variety of surfaces to remove dirt, mud, mold, grime, and loose paint. Not suitable for clearing out plumbing pipes.
- Equipment: More accessible and commonly found in both residential and commercial settings for general cleaning purposes.
Commercial Hydro-Jetting
Hydro-jetting is frequently used in commercial plumbing, but it can also be extremely beneficial to homeowners. We can remove sand, silt and scale buildup, along with hair clogs and other residues that tend to build up on the walls of pipes. Our process is particularly useful for homeowners because chemical cleaners will not flush the system completely to remove sand and silt residue.
If you need to have your commercial plumbing snaked on a regular basis, hydro-jetting will eliminate all the debris in the lines. This service can also improve older plumbing lines that have gone through years of buildup.
Contact Us Today For Hydro-Jetting
Although breakthroughs in technology have made hydro-jetting more accessible than ever, it’s best to contact a professional, such as Joe the Plumber. Only licensed and insured experts should use hydro-jet tools because the high-pressure water jet is powerful and can seriously injure people. If the obstructions in your pipes are not easily accessible, or if you have exhausted hand-operated snakes and chemical drain cleaners, hydro-jetting may be what your pipes are missing. For over 20 years, plumbing experts like Joe the Plumber have been proudly leading the Cypress and Houston area in expertise and quality of service. For estimates and more, contact us today.
