Benefits of Hydro Jetting Drain Cleaning

Benefits of Hydro Jetting Drain Cleaning

The drain line is a cornerstone of public health and sanitation as it readily disposes of waste and wastewater generated in buildings. The drains are not perfect though. They are generally a couple of inches in diameter and vulnerable to clogging. In fact, a clogged drain repair is arguably the most requested plumbing service. 
To no surprise, there are many methods to addressing this common problem and hydro jetting drain cleaning is a cutting-edge approach. In this article brought to you by Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Morgantown, we review the benefits and drawbacks of this contemporary solution to an age-old plumbing issue.

What is hydro jetting drain cleaning?

Hydro jetting drain cleaning is an advanced method of clearing clogs in plumbing and drainage systems. This technique involves navigating a hose and nozzle through the pipes and blasting the blockage with a high-pressure water stream. The pressurized water breaks apart and dislodges debris, grease, and other buildup inside the drains and flushes the remnants out of the system and into the public sewer line or septic tank.

What are the benefits of hydro jetting?

Hydro jetting is an increasingly popular method for tackling clogged drains and boasts many benefits:

  • Hydro jetting is effective in clearing even the most stubborn clogs, including tree roots, dried concrete, mineral buildup, and fatbergs.
  • It is safe and environmentally friendly, as it does not involve the use of harsh chemicals that can damage pipes and harm the environment.
  • Hydro jetting can be used to clean a variety of plumbing systems, including sewer lines, kitchen drains, and bathroom drains. It can be used to tackle shallow clogs as well as deep blockages.
  • Hydro jetting can help prevent future clogs by thoroughly cleaning pipes and removing residue and buildup that could cause blockages in the future.
  • While hydro jetting may cost more upfront than other drain cleaning methods, it can be more cost-effective in the long run by preventing recurring clogs and reducing the risk of costly repairs.

What are the drawbacks of hydro jetting?

The upfront cost of hydro jetting compared to alternatives like snaking is probably the number one drawback. However, hydro jetting thoroughly clears the drains, meaning you don’t have to worry about calling the plumber time and time again for the same clogged drain.
Another drawback of hydro jetting is the risk associated with corroded and damaged pipes. The pressurized water is incredibly powerful and can tear through drains that are damaged or brittle. At Mr. Rooter Plumbing, we begin hydro jetting with a video inspection of the drain line to identify any damage or corrosion in the system. These will be recommended for repair or replacement before hydro jetting can be performed.
