Hydro Jetting: Clean Pipes Prevent Clogs

Hydro jetting is among the most effective ways to clear a stubborn clogged sewer line or drain, and the benefits are more than just clog removal, it can help maintain your pipes by descaling them or sediment and accumulated debris.

Dissolved minerals, fats, soap scum, and other obstructions can accumulate in your pipes over time, leading to slow drains, or no drainage at all. Roots from trees and bushes surrounding your home can also find their way into your pipes and block the free flow of water.

If you’re regularly dealing with slow or stopped up pipes, those plumbing bills can add up in a hurry, and may be a sign of a more underlying problem. Scheduling Nevada Heating’s preventative hydro jetting can clean your pipes while saving you money by avoiding expensive repair bills in the future. If you’re constantly dealing with clogged or slow-flowing pipes, gurgling noises, or foul odors wafting from your drain, then it’s time to call Nevada Heating’s experienced, trustworthy preventative hydro jetting team.

How Does Hydro Jetting Clean Pipes?

A hydro jet is a specialized piece of plumbing equipment made up of a flexible hose fitted with a pressure spray nozzle that’s connected to high-powered pump. The nozzle’s spray scours the pipe’s interior with pressurized water (around 35,000 psi). This high-velocity spray erases all accumulated food particles, grease, mineral build-up, scaling, soap scum, or invasive tree roots from the pipe’s walls so that water can flow through unobstructed.

Hydro jetting is one of the best ways to clear out blocked or constricted pipes without using harsh chemicals, invasive snaking tools, or expensive excavation to access the clogged section of pipe.

Preventative hydro jetting is a service that regularly clears out your household pipe’s interior surface before clogs and obstructions build up. This has five major benefits in both the short and long term.

Benefits of Preventative Hydro Jetting

Prevent Future Plumbing Blocks

When your pipes are constricted by buuldup, any little thing could cause a total blockage. By scouring your pipe’s interior surface with a high-pressure spray, hydro jetting blasts away any invasive plant roots, stubborn collections of grease and fat, sediment accumulations, and any debris that will lead to full blockages if left unchecked. Less obstruction in your pipe means less things to get caught on or blocked up in, and more space to flow safely down the drain as intended. Such accumulation typically takes years to build up, so a bit of prevention today can go a long way.

Improved Flow

Constricted pipes often aren’t fully clogged, but still don’t empty as quickly or as smoothly as they should, leading to buildup, the dreaded, “slow drain.” The sediments, organic particulates, grease, and plant roots accumulating inside your pipes narrows the drainage diameter. This causes water to flow slower past these obstacles. By scouring your pipe free of these obstructions, water drains away from your home much faster and easier.

Longer Lasting Pipes

The accumulated sludge, minerals, and debris can corrode and decay your plumbing over time. This compromises your pipe’s integrity, leading to cracks and leaks. Unchecked root growth in your pipes can also affect their structural integrity as the roots expand and spread. Preventative hydro jetting blasts away these issues before they can cause more damage, extending your pipe’s health.

Fewer Plumbing Calls

Emergency plumbing calls to deal with clogs can be expensive. By hydrojetting your pipes before clogs occur, you avoid costly plumbing visits and stay proactive. Each hydro jetting is confirmed by a camera inspection, and we don’t leave until the pipes are clean. You can rest easy knowing there are no mysteries lurking in the depths of your plumbing.

Eco Friendly

Drain-clearing chemicals are not only harsh on your plumbing but also the environment. Hydro jetting uses only water and pressure to descale your pipes. The only waste is the same gunk that was hanging out in that pipe already, and now it will be headed towards the sewer where it belongs.

How Often Should I Schedule Hydro Jetting?

Preventative hydrojetting provides long-lasting results. You’ll only need to schedule this service once every two years or so to stay worry free. 

After thoroughly scouring any debris, invasive roots, and potential blockages from your pipe’s interior surfaces, it will take some time before the grease, soap scum, debris, or roots begin constricting your water’s flow again.   

Preventative hydro jetting is a service that should be performed by an experienced plumbing professional like the team at Nevada Heating. Only a trained and licensed plumber can properly assess whether your pipes are structurally sound to handle the hydro jet’s high pressure spray without damage, and perform this service correctly to open up your pipes.
