Hydro Jetting

Scours heavy buildup from slow moving or clogged drains

The installation steps:

Hydro jetting is a highly effective method used to clear heavy buildup, obstructions, and clogs from slow-moving or blocked drains. The process involves the following steps:

Inspection

Before performing hydro jetting, a thorough inspection of the drain or sewer line is conducted using techniques such as camera inspection or visual assessment. This helps identify the location and nature of the blockage or buildup.

Preparation

The area surrounding the drain is protected, and appropriate safety measures are taken. This may include wearing protective gear and ensuring proper ventilation.

Equipment Setup

A specialized hydro jetting machine is prepared, which consists of a high-pressure water pump, a hose, and a specialized nozzle. The machine is capable of delivering a highly pressurized stream of water to effectively clear the drain.

Access Point Setup

An access point, such as a cleanout or an inspection port, is identified and opened to gain access to the drain or sewer line. The hydro jetting hose is inserted into the access point and fed into the pipe.

High-Pressure Water Jetting

The hydro jetting machine is activated, and a high-pressure stream of water is propelled through the hose and nozzle into the drain. The water pressure can range from hundreds to thousands of pounds per square inch (psi), depending on the severity of the blockage.

Thorough Cleaning

The high-pressure water stream scours the interior of the drain, effectively removing the heavy buildup, grease, debris, and other obstructions. The force of the water dislodges and flushes away the blockage, restoring the flow and functionality of the drain.

Continuous Movement

The hydro jetting nozzle is maneuvered through the drain or sewer line, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the affected area. The nozzle may have different jetting angles or rotating capabilities to reach all sides of the pipe and maximize the cleaning effect.

Final Inspection

Once the hydro jetting process is complete, a final inspection may be conducted to ensure that the blockage has been completely cleared and the drain is flowing freely. This can be done through visual assessment or camera inspection.

Hydro jetting is a powerful and efficient method for clearing stubborn blockages and heavy buildup from drains. Its high-pressure water stream effectively breaks apart and removes debris, restoring optimal flow and preventing future clogs. It is commonly used in commercial and residential settings to maintain the cleanliness and functionality of drains and sewer lines.
