What Is Hydro-Jetting And Why Do I Need It?
Your Clogged Sewer Lines Are A Danger To Your Home!
Don’t ignore the smells your home makes! While most scents, like those that come from cooking, may go away, others may be symptoms of a more significant problem. If you find the smell of sewage wafting through your house, your sewer lines may be backed up.
When this happens, you’re only moments away from disaster. Once your sewage backs up into your home, you’ll have to deal with expensive clean-up costs. Of course, the smell won’t be pleasant either. However, you can easily avoid this costly mistake by having professional plumbers like Santa Fe Express Plumbing perform hydro-jetting on your sewer lines.
How Does Hydro-Jetting Get My Lines Clean?
Simply put, hydro-jetting is the process of using pressurized water to clean sewer and kitchen lines. Generally, plumbers bring a van with hydro-jetting equipment to the service location. Before the hydro-jetting occurs, plumbers must clean as much of the blockage using drills and other hand tools. Then, using various nozzle heads, pressurized water of up to 15,000 psi is shot through pipes to knock loose any material left behind by the initial cleaning.
The result is an immaculate set of pipes that allow easy flow. The added benefit, of course, is that the odors of rotting food and other substances will no longer linger in your home.
Is Hydro-Jetting Necessary For Me?
Unless you own a restaurant, the chances of needing Hydro-Jetting are slim, but not zero. Most home drains can be quickly cleared by professionals using hand tools.
However, kitchen drains can occasionally find themselves clogged with a mixture of food scraps, grease, and hair that is difficult to remove with hand tools. If you find that your drain has this or a serious sewer clog, then hydro-jetting is your best option to clear it out.
Of course, if you own a restaurant, you may need hydro-jetting regularly. Restaurants tend to deal with both high volumes of waste and irresponsible customers.
This combination often leads to clogged sewer lines. If you own a restaurant, you may want to cozy up to your local plumber, as you may be needing their service more than you would expect.
Is Hydro-Jetting Right For My Home?
If you are dealing with several or stubborn clogs in your home, you may want to give hydro-jetting a try. Otherwise, a simple drain cleaning should do the job.
If you seem to experience these types of clogs often, especially if you run a business, it would be a good idea to familiarize yourself with the hydro-jetting process.
Either way, the most critical decision you can make for your plumbing comes when choosing a reliable plumbing company. A trustworthy plumber will give your drains and lines a proper inspection and advise you to take the appropriate steps for your home’s health.
