Jetting Sewer
Jetting, also known as hydro jetting, is a method used to clean and clear sewer and drain lines using high-pressure water jets. This technique is effective in removing blockages and buildup inside pipes. Here’s an overview of what jetting is and its benefits:
What Is Jetting?
- Inspection: A camera is often used to inspect the pipes and identify the location and nature of the blockage or buildup.
- Jetting: A specialized nozzle is inserted into the pipe, and high-pressure water is sprayed in all directions to dislodge and flush away debris, grease, roots, and other obstructions.
- Cleaning: The powerful water jets clean the pipe walls, removing even stubborn deposits and buildup.
- Final Inspection: After jetting, the pipes are usually inspected again to ensure they are clear and in good condition.
Benefits of Jetting Sewer and Drain Cleaning
- Thorough Cleaning: Removes all types of blockages, including grease, scale, roots, and sludge, providing a comprehensive clean.
- Prevents Future Blockages: Regular jetting can help prevent future clogs and maintain smooth flow within the pipes.
- Restores Flow Capacity: Clears buildup that can reduce the diameter of pipes, improving water flow and reducing the risk of backups.
- Non-Invasive: Jetting is a non-invasive method that doesn’t require digging or extensive disruption, preserving landscaping and structures.
- Eco-Friendly: Uses only water, avoiding harsh chemicals that could be harmful to the environment.
- Extends Pipe Life: By removing corrosive materials and buildup, jetting can help extend the lifespan of pipes and reduce the need for repairs or replacements.
- Immediate Results: Provides quick and effective cleaning, often resolving issues in a single session.
- Enhanced Inspection: After cleaning, a clear view of the pipe’s condition is available for further inspection and assessment.
Hydro jetting is a highly effective solution for maintaining the health of sewer and drain systems, offering thorough cleaning and long-term benefits without the need for invasive procedures.
