Hydro jetting is a modern pipe cleaning process. It involves using pressurized water ranging between 3,500 to 4,000 PSI to remove and flush away dirt, grease, tree roots, and other debris in the pipeline. If your drainage system requires drain cleaning in Oak Brook, IL, this is a good option to remove stubborn blockages and leave no trace of dirt behind. Keeley’s Plumbing discusses further below.
How it Works
Hydro jetting may be done in different phases. Initially, we may start with a nozzle with more force to deal with sludge and tree roots. Later on, we may use a spray with a wide back to flush those materials away. There are different nozzle designs—some are effective in reaching corners, while others work better on the interior surface of the pipes.
While you may be able to fix minor issues causing a clogged drain, this particular process is technical and will require the services of a professional. It can’t be a DIY home project.
Advantages
Pipe jetting can benefit your drains and your home in several ways. One is that it removes anything that could be clogging your pipes. Because of the high water pressure, no obstruction can stand in the way. It even breaks down invasive tree roots, which are often the cause of broken and collapsed pipes. It’s also an environmentally friendly solution, as it doesn’t use any chemicals. The best thing about it is that it is non-invasive, which means you won’t have to ruin your yard by digging up to access clogged pipes.
Is it Safe for Old Pipes?
We may conduct hydro jetting as long as the old pipes are structurally sound. If your outdated pipes are already weak with cracks and corrosion, the pressurized water will result to even more damage to the pipes, worsening the situation. A reputable drain cleaning company like Keeley’s Plumbing should carry out an in-depth inspection to see if we can perform hydro jetting on your pipeline.
