Hydro Jetting and Sewer Line Cleaning
Your sewer line is often out of sight, but it should never be out of mind, especially when facing plumbing issues in your Mendocino/Sonoma/Lake Counties home.
If you observe any of these signs, you might be dealing with a blocked sewer line:
- The water in your toilet bubbles.
- Wastewater flows out of your shower or bathtub drain when you flush the toilet.
- Sinks, showers, and tubs in your home drain slowly.
- Your drains emit sewer odors and gurgling sounds.
Our experts at AAA Organized Plumbing can assess whether your plumbing problem is confined to one drain or involves a blockage in your sewer line. A clogged sewer line requires immediate attention to prevent wastewater backups and overflows. Our professionals sometimes recommend hydro jetting to clean buildup and clogs from your sewer pipe, if the conditions require it.
What Is Hydro Jetting?
Similar to power washing, hydro jetting involves using high-pressure water to clean the interior of your sewer pipe. The process utilizes water pressure ranging from 2,000 to 4,000 psi to flush out accumulated grease, tree roots, sludge, and other debris in your sewer pipe. Before initiating hydro jetting, our experienced plumbers at inspect your sewer line to ensure its structural integrity.
If your sewer pipe is deemed unlikely to withstand hydro jetting due to factors like age and structure, we are more than willing to explore alternative sewer cleaning options, such as snaking. Snaking is a method that breaks up clogs but does not scour the pipe walls with high pressure, making it a safer option for weakened sewer lines.
Hydro Jetting Process
At AAA Organized Plumbing, we take a thorough approach to hydro jetting, ensuring effective and safe results for your sewer line. Here’s what you can expect during the hydro jetting process:
- Video Pipe Inspection: Our plumbing professionals start by conducting a video pipe inspection. Using advanced camera technology, we navigate through your sewer line to identify blockages and assess the condition of the pipe. This step helps us determine the appropriate water pressure for the hydro jetting process.
- Decision on Hydro Jetting: Based on the visual inspection, we make an informed decision on whether hydro jetting is the most suitable solution for your sewer line. We prioritize the safety of your pipes and refrain from performing hydro jetting on deteriorated pipes that cannot withstand the process.
- Hydro Jetting Procedure: If hydro jetting is deemed appropriate, we proceed by inserting a hose into your sewer cleanout, the capped pipe providing access to your sewer line. The hydro jetting machine is then activated, delivering powerful blasts of water at high pressure to flush out debris, grease, and other accumulated substances within the pipe.
- Post-Jetting Inspection: After completing the hydro jetting, we conduct another video inspection inside the pipe to ensure the successful removal of blockages and debris. Our commitment to high-quality work means we strive for your complete satisfaction with the results.
At AAA Organized Plumbing, we prioritize the effectiveness and safety of our services, ensuring that your sewer line functions optimally. Consider us for reliable hydro jetting solutions tailored to your needs.
Hydro Jetting as a Maintenance Tool
Periodic hydro jetting can help you keep your sewer line in top condition by removing grease, organic material, silt, tree roots, and other debris. Maintaining this essential drainage pipe with hydro jetting will help avoid future plumbing emergencies.
Your sewer line is just one of many plumbing system components that benefit from preventative maintenance. During an annual maintenance visit to your home, we inspect your pipes and fixtures, test water pressure, clean drains, and flush the water heater. We also can repair leaks and other problems we discover during the inspection.
