Hydro-jetting is a pipe-cleaning method that many professional plumbing contractors use. This cleaning method is able to get your sewer line back to its proper functioning condition.
What is Hydro Jetting?
A high-pressure stream of water is shot through the pipelines. In most instances, hydro-jetting systems will normally use 400 psi. This is able to thoroughly scrub and flush out any buildup that has accumulated in your pipes over the years. In some cases, this high-powered stream of water is able to remove bacteria, grease, scum, and soap buildup. The high water pressure is able to get rid of all different types of debris without causing any damage to your pipes. Hydro jetting works best for when you need to clean out your main drain, also known as a Sewer line.

For residential places, hydro-jetting can be used to remove silt, sand, and other things that have gotten built up such as hair clogs and other residues that have built up onto the wall of the pipes. This is a good choice if you are experiencing slow-moving pipes. It is also a good option if you have tried other drain cleaning methods without getting the results that you were hoping to see.

When there is too much water pressure being shot through your pipes it is possible that it could damage them. This is usually only seen in older, fragile, or damaged pipes.
