What is Hydro Jetting?
Hydro jetting is a specialized sewer cleaning method that employs highly pressurized water to clear blockages and maintain sewer lines. This process involves the use of specialized equipment that can direct water at pressures high enough to cut through small tree roots, grease, and other debris that traditional methods may not effectively clear.
Benefits of Hydro Jetting
- Thorough Cleaning: Hydro jetting provides a more thorough cleaning compared to traditional methods, ensuring that pipes are free from blockages, debris, and build-up.
- Efficiency: This method is efficient and can quickly restore the functionality of your drainage and sewer systems.
- Environmentally Friendly: Hydro jetting uses only water, making it an eco-friendly option that doesn’t rely on harsh chemicals.
- Effective for Various Clogs: Hydro jet drain cleaning is highly effective for clearing various types of clogs, including minor blockages caused by tree roots, sediment, and debris.
Signs You Need Hydro Jetting for Different Systems
Clogged Sanitary Sewers
- Frequent Backups: If your project, site, or HOA or encounters frequent sewage backups, it’s a clear indication that the sanitary sewer lines may be blocked.
- Unpleasant Odors: Persistent foul odors emanating from the site’s drainage system suggest trapped waste causing a blockage. Hydro jetting can effectively clear these obstructions and eliminate the odors.
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to quickly and efficiently clear clogged sewer lines, making it a more sustainable option than traditional drain cleaning methods.
Blocked Reinforced Concrete Pipes (RCP)
Root Intrusion
- Visible Tree Root Growth: If there are trees or large shrubs near the pipe infrastructure, their roots may penetrate the pipes seeking water and nutrients.
- Recurring Blockages: If blockages are occurring frequently despite regular cleaning, it might indicate root intrusion.
- Structural Damage: Cracks or misalignment in the pipes could be a sign of root pressure damaging the pipe structure.
Hydro jetting can cut through small roots and organic matter to clear blockages and prevent future issues. For larger roots, cutting tools can be added to the hydro jetting equipment to remove the obstruction.
Sediment Build-Up
- Reduced Water Flow: A noticeable decrease in water flow could indicate sediment accumulation inside the pipes.
- Increased Maintenance Needs: If maintenance frequency has increased, it might be due to sediment build-up causing repeated issues.
- Visual Inspections: During CCTV inspections, visible sediment or mineral deposits inside the pipes suggest significant build-up.
Hydro jetting can easily remove these deposits, restoring the pipes to their full functionality.
Storm Drain Obstruction in Stormwater Systems
- Slow Drainage: If your stormwater systems are draining slowly or not at all, it could be due to debris or sediment blocking the pipes. Hydro jetting can clear these blockages, ensuring proper water flow.
- Flooding: Blocked stormwater systems can lead to flooding, especially during heavy rainfall or snowmelt. Hydro jetting can help prevent flooding by keeping the pipes clear and functional. Maintaining a clear and functional sewer system is crucial for preventing flooding and ensuring proper water flow, and hydro jetting is an effective method for achieving this.
