Hydro jetting is a phrase that all of our customers should be familiar with at this point. Say it with us: hydro jetting! This is a really cool process that can clean your drain almost instantaneously without the hassle of digging deep into the pipes or doing anything super invasive.
What is it? How does it work? Could you use hydro jetting in your home, or are you more in need of typical plumbing repairs? These are all great questions, and we hope to answer several of them below.
If you’re new to the plumbing industry, or you’ve never heard of hydro jetting before, let this be a great little introduction so you can be more familiar with this kind of technology. But even if you’re an industry veteran and you’d like to evaluate whether your home can use hydro jetting in Las Vegas, we promise there will be some helpful information in this post.
What Is Hydro Jetting?
Hydro jetting is exactly as the name implies. It’s where we take an auger that lowers into your pipe, but at the bottom a water jet is attached. This isn’t just any water jet; it’s an extremely high-pressure water jet that sprays water powerfully all around.
The jet sprays water and we lower it into your plumbing system. Sounds simple, right? Well, it’s all-natural and highly convenient, but it’s anything but simple!
The Science of Hydro Jetting
Hydro jetting uses the power of natural water and pressure to alleviate most drain-clogging materials. As you’ve seen in movies, a powerful wave of water or a tsunami can be enough to destroy even a solid wall of concrete. High-pressure water can be extremely powerful, and when harnessed to alleviate drain clogs, it works very well.
The nice part about hydro jetting is it doesn’t involve any corrosive or acidic elements. It’s just pure water pressurized enough to remove even the most stubborn materials clogging your drain.
When to Invest in This Service
Let’s talk about the important thing—when you might need hydro jetting. This is generally a good service to invest in when you want to be proactive about the health of your plumbing system. Even if you’re not being plagued by a drain clog now, you can still get it done as part of routine drain cleaning.
However, if you’ve got an active drain clog that’s causing you trouble, this is also a service that can solve your current problems. Schedule an appointment today so we can use video pipe inspection to monitor the state of your drain before we find a solution that works.
Why Professional Hydro Jetting Is the Way to Go
Hydro jetting equipment is expensive. We’re not talking about grocery or hardware store kinds of expensive. These systems need to be specially ordered and the plumber who uses them needs to be trained.
Purchasing an expensive hydro jet system just to use it yourself is not a cost-effective solution. The cost heavily outweighs just scheduling an appointment with our team, where we can provide it quickly and easily. And you likely won’t need it for another year at least.
When your HVAC system or plumbing isn’t looking so hot, it’s time to get Johnny On the Spot. Schedule an appointment today!
