How Does Hydro Jetting Help Me?
Hydro Jetting Services
Hydro jetting works by sending a fast stream of water through a hose into the drain, which can be pressurized up to 60,000 psi. The water can also channel debris down the sewer line and into the city main, which is the large municipal sewer pipe. Hydro jetting also cleans the inside of the sewer pipe, which can improve its long-term performance.
What Else Should I Know About Hydro Jetting?
Understanding The Benefits of Hydro Jetting
When Aspen Plumbing Services, your local and experienced plumbing company, delivers hydro jet drain cleaning, they use diagnostic tools to determine the reason for the plumbing issue before deciding on water jetting services. In fact, hydro jetting is actually better for pipes than snaking or using chemicals in most instances. Here are more reasons hydro jetting is beneficial.
It’s Environmentally Friendly
While it’s easy to go to the store to grab some chemical solution in an attempt to alleviate plumbing problems, this practice introduces harmful chemicals and silica sand into the wastewater system. Because hydro jetting only uses water, there is no concern about contamination and you can do your part to help the environment while still having clean running pipes.
Treatment Is Customizable
Because plumbing so rarely comes with one-size-fits-all solutions, the high-pressure water jet cleaning machine allows for the technician to adjust the intensity of the water blast, or pound per square inch (psi). This power can range from 7,000 psi to 60,000 psi. Even the attachments for the head where the water sprays out can be switched to provide direct or indirect sprays for the most efficient cleaning.
It Packs A Serious Punch
While it’s safe for pipes, you definitely don’t want to be on the other end of the jet once it starts going. That’s because the machine uses high pressure to force the water out, which is what makes it so great at clearing clogs. The professionals at Aspen Plumbing Services actually wear protective equipment so they won’t be inadvertently hurt while cleaning out pipes.
It’s Been Around For Awhile
While the technology might seem new, hydro jetting has actually been around for more than eighty years. The reason why many people may not be aware of it is because, during most of this time, it was too expensive for most families or businesses to afford. In fact, the machinery used to be so bulky that it required several plumbers at once to use it. Aspen Plumbing Services has the best equipment and knowledge to ensure your drains and pipes are cleaned thoroughly.

Hydro Jetting F.A.Q’S
Frequently Asked Questions
How Does Hydro Jetting Work?
Hydro jetting works by sending a stream of high-pressure water through a hose and into your plumbing system. The water flows through a nozzle, which is designed to cut through debris, grease, mineral scale, tree roots, and other obstructions in the pipe. The high pressure effectively scours the interior walls of the pipes, removing buildup and restoring optimal flow.
Unlike snaking, which only punctures the blockage, hydro jetting thoroughly cleans the entire pipe. The force of the water also helps clear away smaller debris, leaving pipes cleaner and less likely to clog in the future.
Is Hydro Jetting Safe For My Pipes?
Yes, hydro jetting is generally safe for most types of pipes, including PVC, cast iron, and steel. The high-pressure water is effective at cleaning pipes without causing significant damage. However, it’s important to note that older or already weakened pipes may be more vulnerable to damage from the intense pressure. A professional plumber will first inspect the condition of your pipes and determine if hydro jetting is appropriate.
In some cases, if pipes are severely corroded or brittle, other methods may be recommended. It’s always important to have an expert evaluate your plumbing before undergoing hydro jetting to avoid potential damage.
Will Hydro Jetting Help With a Slow Drain?
Yes, hydro jetting can be highly effective for addressing slow drains. Slow drains are often caused by a buildup of grease, soap scum, hair, or other debris inside the pipes. Over time, this buildup narrows the interior of the pipes, restricting water flow. Hydro jetting can remove this buildup by using high-pressure water to scour the pipe walls and clear any debris.
The process can help restore optimal water flow and prevent future slow-drain issues. If your drains are consistently slow despite cleaning, hydro jetting may be the solution to fully clear the pipes and improve performance.
How Long Does Hydro Jetting Take?
The time it takes to perform hydro jetting depends on the size and complexity of your plumbing system, as well as the severity of the blockage.
For minor blockages or small homes, hydro jetting may take as little as one hour. For larger systems or more severe clogs, it can take several hours to thoroughly clean the pipes. The process involves assessing the system, setting up the equipment, and thoroughly flushing the pipes.
A plumber will be able to provide a more accurate time estimate based on the condition of your pipes and the specific issue being addressed.
