Hydro-Jet Lines
Accurate Leak Locators and Plumbing is one of a few plumbing companies in Southern California that offers hydro-jetting services. A hydro-jetter is a high-pressured water machine used to cut through roots and tough grease blockages that have overtaken the drain line. It is recommended to flush out any grease or buildup in a drain line annually. Hydro-jetting to remove tree roots is only a temporary fix, it will correct the problem temporarily.
Hydro-jetting is a highly effective method for cleaning and clearing clogged drain and sewer lines using high-pressure water. Here are the key points about hydro-jetting lines:
How Hydro-Jetting Works
- A specialized machine is used to pressurize water up to 4,000 PSI (pounds per square inch).
- A high-pressure hose with a specialized nozzle is fed into the drain or sewer line.
- The nozzle sprays extremely powerful jets of water that blast through clogs, debris, grease, tree roots, and buildup on pipe walls.
- The nozzle often has forward and rear-facing jets to propel it through the line while scouring the pipe interior.
Benefits of Hydro-Jetting
- Highly effective at clearing even the toughest clogs and obstructions that plungers or snakes cannot remove.
- Scours the entire pipe interior, removing built-up grime, grease, scale, and roots for a thorough cleaning which then can usually be seen with a camera.
- Environmentally friendly as it uses only water, no harsh chemicals.
- Can access hard-to-reach areas and navigate bends in pipes.
- Safe for most modern pipe materials when performed by professionals.
When to Consider Hydro-Jetting
- For recurring clogs that don’t respond to plunging or snaking
- Slow draining sinks, tubs, or floor drains indicating a significant blockage.
- Preventative maintenance every 18-22 months to clear build up before major clogs form.
- After video camera inspections reveal heavy buildup, roots, or debris in drain lines.
- For older homes with tree root intrusions or years of accumulated buildup in sewer lines.
While more effective than snaking, hydro-jetting provides a thorough, long-lasting cleaning solution for severely clogged or slow-flowing drain and sewer lines. It is a powerful tool in the hands of our professional plumbers to restore proper drainage and flow in residential and commercial plumbing systems.
