Hydro jetting uses highly pressurized water to dismantle and remove sludge, grease, and potential tree roots from the sewer drainage pipes. This tactic can clear away major obstructions within your pipes. Deciding whether to use hydro jetting in the pipes of your home is a big decision. Here are some helpful points to outline the pros or the cons for you to consider.
Simplistic Approach
One pro is that hydro jetting has minimal equipment and does not use harmful chemicals. Hydro jetting is a green technology that will not harm the environment. In addition, this is a non-invasive procedure that will not require any digging in or around your property.
Gets The Job Done
While using a plumbing snake on a clogged drain, is considered a tried and true method for removing obstructions, it is unfortunately not as effective as hydro jetting. Snaking a drain will only poke holes in the obstructions, while this tool is enough to get the wastewater flowing once more.
Pipe Strength
One con is that the use of hydro jetting can cause harm to frail or older pipes. Since all pipes do not last forever, as they age, they are more susceptible to cracks and breaks. The added pressure of hydro jetting could cause severe damage and create an escalated situation. To prevent this from happening, you would need to schedule a CCTV video inspection first to get a good look at your pipes.
Need A Professional & Water Waster
The use of hydro jetting consumes a lot of water. Even though it is a green technology, the high use of water may be a concerning con for some customers. In addition, you are no longer able to DIY this service. You will need to call in a professional hydro jet plumber as they have the technical knowledge and tools to conduct a proper inspection and removal.
To that end, the advantages hydro jetting only uses water to remove the debris within your pipes rather than harmful chemicals and it completely removes all the obstructions from your pipes, allowing for complete removal. However, this process does require an inspection to ensure that your pipes can withstand the pressure and needs professional hydro jet plumbers to carry out the job.
