Many of you do a good job of rodding your sewer lines regularly. You know this is imperative to keep water flowing and thus prevent backup and flooding, which can be a pain, and cause extensive damage to your home and possessions. But what if there is extensive debris in your pipes? Or they are old? Or your pipes are longer and/or wider (especially true for commercial facilities) than typical residential pipes?
In many of those cases, the solution is hydro jetting. Here are the six benefits of hydro jetting.
1. Hydro Jetting Is Powerful and Effective
Hydro jetting uses high pressure water to thoroughly clear debris from the sewer line, providing a deep clean and ensuring a full flow. Debris that hydro jetting can clear includes:
- Roots
- Wipes
- Feminine hygiene products
- Mud
- Grease
- Gravel
- Pipe scale
2. Hydro Jetting Offers Long-Lasting Results
Sewer rodding does a great job removing blockages, but hydro jetting also cleans the interior walls of the piping, reducing the chance of future build-ups.
3. Hydro Jetting Reaches Further
Sewer line rodding is only effective for lines less than 150 feet in length. Hydro jetting is effective for up to 300 feet.
4. Hydro Jetting Is Safe for Older Pipes
The mechanical scraping used in traditional rodding may crack or rupture older pipes. Since hydro jetting does not involve mechanical scraping, the risk is greatly reduced. Mineral deposits may also build up over time in older pipes. Hydro jetting will remove those deposits.
5. Hydro Jetting Is Eco-Friendly
Hydro jetting does not use harmful chemical cleaners that can pollute the environment.
6. Hydro Jetting Is Safe
Only using water and not chemicals also makes this method safe for humans and pets.
