Hydro jetting is not your run-of-the-mill plumbing solution; it’s a powerhouse for clearing the most stubborn blockages. Utilizing a highly pressured stream of water (sometimes reaching 3,500 psi), hydro jetting eliminates all that unwanted debris, scale buildup, and even intrusive tree roots. 

Adding to its efficacy is the fact that video inspections are done before hydro jetting to identify clog compositions and ensure safe and targeted cleaning to prevent backflush risks.

The Superiority of Hydro Jetting Over Conventional Methods

When faced with obstructions in water lines, hydro jetting proves time and again why it’s a preferred method among plumbers here in the Lower Mainland. Unlike drain snakes—which merely create a hole through the blockage—hydro jetting thoroughly cleanses pipes. This thoroughness prevents future problems by tackling accumulated grease and sludge lurking beneath the surface.

Because of its effectiveness at breaking up thick blockages, hydro jetting has become a go-to solution for emergencies and preventative maintenance.

Is Hydro Jetting Right for Your Home?

Not every sewer line can handle the immense pressure that hydro jetting puts on the pipes and fittings, and plumbers must assess factors such as pipe material and condition before performing any hydro jetting.

While dated piping could limit its use, generally speaking, hydro jetting is safe for most sewer lines. 

The next time you have piping trouble, and the plumber suggests hydro jetting, don’t worry. Its power might be just what’s needed to break through that challenging blockage.
