Hydro-jetting in San Diego

Recently, have you noticed that the water in the shower, toilet, or kitchen sink stagnates and does not flow? Have you already tried to clear the blockage yourself, but nothing worked? Perhaps this is a persistent blockage that requires a serious approach – hydro-jetting.

Hydro-jetting cleans pipes from blockages, tree roots, wall growth, and other debris with a high-pressure water jet. It is good blockage prevention and life-saving procedure for clearing clogged pipes.

Only experienced plumbers with good equipment can do the hydro-jetting so as not to damage the pipes. Contact Almco Plumbing – we have 10 years of experience in hydro-jetting.

What is hydro-jetting, and how does it work?

Hydro-jetting is a procedure for cleaning the inner walls of pipes from blockages, growths, minerals, debris, and tree roots. To do this, the plumber uses a targeted high-pressure water jet. The pressure is adjustable from 4,000 to 60,000 psi. The procedure is non-invasive, meaning that there is no need to dig to clean the pipes. Hydro-jetting will improve the passage of water through pipes, help to avoid stagnant water, and protect you from leaks and pipe ruptures.

Hydro-jetting takes place in several stages:

1. The specialist finds a place for easy access to the inside of the pipeline.
2. The plumber diagnoses the inner surface of the pipes using an HD camera. First, the specialist assesses the contraindications to hydro-jetting. The plumber will suggest drain snaking if the pipes are old or cracked.
3. Next, the plumber finds the clogged places, evaluates the types of clogs. This is necessary to adjust the degree of pressure and the place of the direction of the jet that is safe for pipes.
4. A plumber inserts a jet hose into the pipe. Then he adjusts the water pressure and starts the equipment.
5. A high-pressure jet of water cleans the inner walls of the pipes, gradually moving along the entire water supply.

Only a plumber with experience can hydro jet without damaging the insides of your drain pipes, and that is what we offer!

Tree roots removal from sewage pipes with hydro-jetting

Hydro-jetting is the best sewer line root killer. Water under high pressure can destroy even large and dense root intrusions in the sewer lines. To see how effective can be root destruction in the pipes, see our case on how we clean roots in the storm drain.

However, if the roots have severely damaged the drain line, pipes will need to be repaired to eliminate leaks. Almco Plumbing offers a trenchless pipe repair after root removal that takes 1 to 3 days.

3. 🔹 Only water is used in cleansing. No chemicals are used to dissolve blockages. This makes the cleaning results safe for you and the environment.
4. 🔹 Hydro-jetting removes everything that gets in the way of the jet – the walls of the pipes after cleaning look like new.

Despite all the benefits, the procedure should be used with caution. There are contradictions for hydro-jetting, which are always checked by qualified specialists from Almco Plumbing. Do not use water jet cleaning on old or cracked pipes. High-pressure water can damage pipes and lead to more serious problems.

For this reason, you should not carry out hydro-jetting by yourself. Even in the absence of contraindications, a specialist evaluates the condition of the pipes, the material from which they are made, and the degree of contamination. Based on this, he adjusts the pressure value. The correct setup of the equipment for hydro-jetting makes it safe.

Hydro-jetting vs drain snaking

Drain snaking was the most popular drain cleaning method before hydro-jetting took off. The way it works is by applying a cord plus an auger attached to it at the end. The auger then drills through the clogs within the pipes. This method is still being used by some professionals today. However, it is not as effective as hydro-jetting, where drain snaking does leave residues.

Both of those methods can clear a significant amount of blockages. However, the hydro-jetting method is much more efficient. Unlike drain snaking, hydro-jetting can remove large blockages such as tree roots and small debris. The procedure completely cleans the pipes, and therefore its long-term payoffs are simply better! That is, with hydro-jetting, you can clear a sewer that’s draining slowly or blocked, which makes it more efficient than snaking.
