Traditional methods of clearing pipes with clogs and debris that can slow down a drain include harsh chemicals, snakes, or rotor tools. Interference from tree roots may result in excavating sections of pipe to remove the roots and replace those pipes. These methods are time-consuming, often require more than on attempt, and can be damaging to pipes. Snakes can dent, scratch, or weaken piping. Chemicals are hazardous to breath in and can seep into the ground water supply.
Pressurized Hot Water
The revolutionary use of pressurized hot water being released via small jet streams all at once is what is now known as Hydro Jetting Services. The powerful equipment can be used on residential pipes as small as one inch in diameter and be just as effective on huge city sewer lines. There are several advantages to this modern way of clearing blocked pipes.
Efficiency
Whether a homeowner is standing in a few inches of water in the shower because the drain is clogged or a hotel is getting complaints of backed up toilets, hydro jet equipment can clear those blockages faster and easier than traditional methods. The force does not break through the blockage like snakes and chemicals do, it clears the entire clog away from the pipes. The process also cleans the pipes to prevent mineral deposits, hair, grime, and sludge from building up. It is the buildup that commonly causes clogs in the first place.
Safety
The use of Hydro Jetting Services is safer for pipes. There are no metal components that enter the pipes, so damage and corrosion risks are eliminated. Chemicals are not used either so respiratory risks and unpleasant fumes are no longer a problem. Hundreds of feet of tubing will reach the clog or blockage where ever it is obstruction the pipes.
The pressure is even strong enough to break up roots and flush them out of the pipes as well. There is no need for an excavating truck to dig up the yard and remove pipe sections to find where the tree roots have infiltrated. Other applications for the hydro jet services include cleaning grease traps, storm drain cleaning, and pressure washing.
