Benefits of Hydro Jetting Your Drain

9/25/2017

21 Comments

 
Drain clogs are a common issue for everyone, no matter if they are business, commercial, or residential homeowner. A clogged drain is caused by a buildup of materials that don’t make it out of pipelines and cause pipes to drain slowly or even overflow with water, leading to potentially expensive damage.
​
 
Hydro jetting is the new best method of drain cleaning. The more traditional methods like using a mechanical snake just can’t catch up to the efficiency of this new procedure. Star Plumbing is an experienced company that will take care of any cleaning and repairing drains you may need, including hydro jetting.

​What is Hydro Jetting?
​

Hydro jetting involves a process that shoots a continuous stream of high pressure water through a nozzle at the end of a hose that is slid into your drain. This process pierces through deep build ups of debris and is an extremely efficient way to clear pipe blockages.

 
This cleaning method will wash out any residual roots and minerals and other impeding things that are clogging up your drain and sticking to your pipes. This machine has different sizes with varying pressure, so our experienced plumbers are able to decide the proper strength to use on your pipes. Contrary to popular belief, this method is not reserved for commercial use – it is also great for residential use.
​

Hydro jetting is good for sewer lines, kitchen drains, laundry lines, as well as bathroom and shower drains. Hydro jetting does the best job with drains that have clogs that just won’t clear out.


Additional Benefits
​

Everybody has had the unfortunate experience of their drain clogging up with grease and detergents and whatever else may have found its way down the drain. Fortunately, hydro jetting not only unclogs but it also cleans out your drain. This sanitizing process blasts out all kinds of things that accumulate in drains, and cleaning them out yourself isn’t fun. Hydro jetting gives you a longer lasting clean and also removes bacteria. The heavy stream of high pressure water gets rid of smelly bacteria and freshens your drain.
​
 
Since hydro jetting uses pressurized water, it is also safer for the environment than other liquids that can have potentially harmful chemicals. It is even more economical than other drain cleaning options. Hydro jetting pipe cleans last much longer than other methods, so you won’t need to get it cleaned as often, therefore spending less money.

​Traditional cleaning requires a cleaning twice a year, while hydro jetting will protect your pipes for several years, lowering cost in the long term. Since this procedure is so powerful, it keeps grease from re-clogging for longer than any other method.

 
The comprehensive cleaning that Brentwood Star Plumbing offers through its hydro jetting service is worth your while. Besides just shooting out all the possible obstructions in your drain, it sanitizes your drain, freshens it, and secures it for years.

 
Call us today and we will hydro jet your drain so it is fresh and clog-free!
