What Is Hydro Jetting?

Hydro jetting is a professional drain-cleaning method that uses pressurized water to remove clogs and residue from suitable pipes. A hose and nozzle direct water through the line to clean more of the pipe wall than a cable that simply opens a passage through a blockage.

It can address blockages and buildup. The appropriate pressure and nozzle depend on the pipe material, condition, diameter, and available access.

Hydro jetting gives you:

• Pipe-Wall Cleaning: It can scour residue from the inside of suitable pipes, not just poke a hole through a clog.
• Extensive Buildup Removal: It may be considered when grease, roots, debris, sludge, mineral scale, or other residue has narrowed a line.
• Water-Based Cleaning: The cleaning method uses water rather than chemical drain cleaners.

This method may be appropriate for residential sewer lines when an assessment confirms the line is suitable for high-pressure cleaning.

When Hydro Jetting May Be Considered

Hydro jetting may be considered after an assessment identifies buildup requiring more extensive cleaning. We consider the obstruction, pipe condition, available access, and location of the problem before selecting a clearing method.

A video camera inspection can help locate recurring obstructions and assess sewer-line condition. If a pipe is damaged, offset, fragile, or collapsed, hydro jetting isn’t a substitute for repair or replacement planning.

According to Pueblo Water, the city’s treated water is hard to very hard, with total hardness averaging 180 mg/L as calcium carbonate, or 10.5 grains per gallon. The right clearing method still depends on the specific line and blockage.

During an assessment, we consider:

• Evaluating Slow Drains: A recurring slow drain can indicate buildup deeper in the line.
• Checking Main-Line Problems: Several affected fixtures can point to a main sewer line obstruction.
• Removing Mineral Buildup: Hard-water mineral deposits may contribute to residue inside plumbing over time.
