Hydro Jetting

Hydro jetting is the process used to clean sewer and drainpipes by means of extremely high-pressure water jet from a hose pipe. It needs some special skills to use hydro jetting equipment to achieve best possible results. Drain cleaning by hydro blasting and hydro scouring is also termed as Hydro jetting.

Normally it is used first to clean clogged drains and stoppages. This method clears blocked lines effectively, efficiently and quickly as the high-pressure stream is more than capable of cutting through any debris that is affecting your sewer and drain lines.

The process is simple and professionals who are well versed with using the equipment should have no trouble at all. Every drainpipe has an opening called a "cleanout" which is easily accessible in case the pipe must be cleaned out and unclogged. The equipment consists of a specialized high-pressure hose and nozzle as well as a huge tank of water and a special machine that forces the water in the tank through the nozzle at pressurized rates of 3,500 to 4,000 psi with a rate of 18 gallons per minute.

Hydro jetting essentially works with the plumbing system, which uses gravity to push the water flow downstream and out. The nozzle of the equipment is introduced into the upstream end of the drainpipe. This allows any debris that is cleared by the highly pressurized water to flow back downstream and out. Depending on the equipment, the process can be used to clear clogged sewer and drain lines that are over a few hundred feet in length.
