How does Hydrojet pipe cleaning work?

Hyrdrojet cleaning is a process that cleans your sewer lines out with just water. Our jetter machine pushes high pressures of water through a hose that eats through grease, debris, and other buildup in your sewer lines. This allows our experienced technician to clean and flush out your sewer line back to its original diameter. The water is jetted in a complete sphere by a unique, multi-directional nozzle at over 4000 pounds per square inch. With a long water hose attached, the nozzle can clean well below the surface in most homes and businesses.

With hydro jetting, you get all the benefits of pressurized drain cleaning, but at a higher level. In minutes, hydro jetting can scour off years of mineral and waste buildup, restoring the pipe walls to pristine condition. There’s no grease, insect larvae, or stuck-on waste to restart the buildup process. Hydro jetting typically keeps pipes clean longer and is a better long-term solution.

Hydrojet Pipe Cleaning Is Great For Maintenance

Hydrojet pipe cleaning allows you to stay ahead of common plumbing issues, especially going into hurricane season, where clogged storm drains can lead to costly flooding in your home or around your property.

In some cases, mechanical cleaning or other cleaning methods may be the best path forward for your specific issue, but that’s why a thorough camera inspection is our first step. We’ll review our findings with you, then we’ll create a maintenance plan tailored to your needs.

However, even with the best maintenance practices, pipes sometimes fail. When your pipes can’t be restored with a routine cleaning, you may need to take additional measures, like CIPP relining.

Hydrojet Pipe Cleaning for Rust and Corrosion

Outdated pipe materials, particularly old cast iron pipes, are vulnerable to rust and corrosion. This is especially true in Miami, where the humidity, frequent rainfall, and salty air contribute to ideal conditions for rust.

We don’t typically recommend hydrojet pipe cleaning for rust and corrosion, but it can be a viable maintenance strategy if you’re trying to stay ahead of small mounds and minor evidence of corrosion.

However, this is where you need an expert hand. When it comes to hydrojet pipe cleaning, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all option, and you need an experienced pipe cleaning service to assess your pipes and develop a strategy. At PRS, we flush all pipes downstream, collecting debris as we go, so you can feel confident your pipes are truly clean by the time we leave.

FAQs

  • Can hydrojet pipe cleaning damage my pipes?

    Yes, hydrojet pipe cleaning can damage your pipes if it’s done by inexperienced technicians. The highly pressurized water can crack, damage, or further exacerbate lingering issues if your pipes are heavily rusted, corroded, or otherwise weak. Similarly, cleaning pipes can expose lingering cracks that were previously hidden by heavy buildup. At PRS, we will always assess your pipes first and deliver an honest recommendation that won’t compromise your pipes.

  • How long does hydrojet pipe cleaning take?

    The hydrojet pipe cleaning process and timeline can vary from project to project, but it usually takes a few hours to clean your pipes. At PRS, we take additional care to ensure we’re always flushing downstream and collecting debris along the way.This prevents buildup from being pushed further down the line and reduces the likelihood of future issues.

  • Is hydrojet pipe cleaning worth it?

    Yes, hydrojet pipe cleaning is worth it as a preventative maintenance tool for residential and commercial properties. If you’re hydrojetting more often than once a year, you may need to pursue more permanent solutions, like pipe relining. Different types of pipes and locations require different cleaning methods, which is why it’s important to hire an experienced company that knows the right technique to use—helping you avoid costly property damage.
