We understand that plumbing issues can be as frustrating as trying to find the last piece of a jigsaw puzzle. At Accurate Leak Locators and Plumbing, we’re not just experts at finding leaks. We are masters of the art of hydro jetting. Hydro jetting isn’t just a fancy term for water pressure, it’s an all-star plumbing procedure that uses high-pressure water streams to clean out your pipes and get things flowing smoothly again. When it comes to maintaining a healthy plumbing system, hydro jetting is one of the most effective solutions to clear away stubborn clogs, debris, and buildup from your pipes. But when exactly do your pipes need this service? Here are the hidden reasons why hydro jetting might be essential for your home or business.

1. Persistent or Recurring Clogs

You know that feeling when you’ve unclogged your drain for the 4th time in a month, and you’re starting to feel like you’re stuck in a plumbing nightmare. Snaking the drain line might be a quick fix, but if your clogs keep coming back, it’s time for a little hydro jetting magic. We offer both services and can accurately diagnose which method should be considered using our minimally intrusive video camera inspection tools.

2. Slow Drains Across Multiple Fixtures

If your drains seems sluggish, it’s likely that issue goes beyond a single clog. Slow drains throughout your property can signal a blockage deeper in your plumbing system. Hydro jetting comes to the rescue and effectively addresses these issues by clearing out the main sewer line, ensuring your water is flowing smoothly again.

3. Tree Root Intrusions

Trees love water and they’re not too picky about how they get it. The tree roots creep into your sewer lines, causing all kinds of trouble. Hydro jetting can cut through small root intrusions, like a super-powered chainsaw. Of course, if the roots have already done some damage to the pipes, we may need to talk about repairs, but we’ll handle that too.

4. Grease and Sludge Buildup (Especially in Restaurants)

In the restaurant business, grease buildup is more than just an inconvenience….it’s a headache. Commercial kitchens frequently battle grease buildup that standard cleaning methods can’t tackle. Hydro jetting plumbing blasts away grease and sludge, preventing blockages and maintaining efficient drainage, keeping the kitchen running smoothly.

5. Foul Odors from Drains

Got a smell coming from your drains that’s making you question what kind of creature might be living down there. Spoiler Alert: It’s probably bacteria and gunk that’s been building up over time. Hydro jetting clears this stinky mess and gets your pipes smelling fresh again.

6. Preparing for Sewer Line Repairs or Inspections

Before conducting sewer line inspections or repairs, plumbers often use hydro jetting to clear the pipes. This ensures we can get a good look at what’s really going on inside your pipes. Think of it as a pre-checkup for your pipes so we don’t miss anything important when it’s time for repairs.

7. Flooding or Backups in Drains

If your sinks, tubs, or floor drains start to back up with water, don’t wait for it to turn into a mini indoor pool. This is usually a sign of a major clog in your pipes and hydro jetting is the fastest way to clear it and prevent potential water damage.

8. Older Pipes with Heavy Mineral Deposits

Got older pipes? Over time, mineral deposits from hard water can build up inside your pipes, reducing water flow. Hydro jetting breaks down these deposits, enhancing pipe performance without causing damage to the infrastructure.
