How Water Jet Sewer Cleaning Works

Hydro jet sewer cleaning service by Rooter Man relies on the power of pressurized water and nothing more. A hydro jet sewer cleaning service by Rooter Man has a specialized nozzle's that guides a hose through the length of a pipe to break up and wash away debris. The nozzle often has a single forward facing jet and multiple rear facing jets. The forward jet creates a hole through debris while the rear jets propel the nozzle forward and wash debris back.

Often, hydro jet drain cleaning will take place in multiple stages. A plumber with Rooter Man might use a nozzle with more forward force to initially break up debris like tree roots and sludge. Then, they could switch to one with a wider back spray to better remove those tree roots and send them down the pipe. Some nozzles are made for getting around corners and others are made for descaling the sides of pipes. The high pressure hose itself can also vibrate on and off rapidly, which helps the nozzle smash through clogs and debris.

Hydro-Jetting Doesn’t Use Chemical Drain Cleaners

Hydro jets only use water to clear clogged sewer lines. That means you don’t have to worry about any other chemicals getting into sewer pipes. Drain chemicals can damage sewer lines and cause problems for the environment if they aren’t contained.

​

Hydro Jet Cleaning Cast Iron Pipes

Over time, old cast iron pipes can build up scale on the inside walls. The scale forms sharp edges that can catch toilet paper and other materials that go down the drain and contribute to blockages. Hydro-jetting cast iron sewer pipes is an effective way to remove scale and reduce edges for debris to grab onto. However, if the pipe is too old, you should avoid hydro jet cleaning as it could damage pipes that have cracks or are ready to break.

When Do You Need Hydro Jet Cleaning?

To keep your business’ main sewer line clear, it’s a good idea to call Rooter Man to get routine hydro-jetting every year or every other year. This is especially important for restaurants or other establishments that can accumulate grease in pipes. 

If you don’t get an annual hydro jet cleaning, it can still be a good idea to choose hydro-jetting over snaking when you have a clog in the sewer lines. Rooter Man Hydro jet drain cleaning service will completely remove the debris, and you’ll experience clogs less frequently. Snaking doesn’t have the same power of removing debris, and sometimes it just pokes a hole through the clogged areas. This allows water to flow for a time, but then you need to get the clogged sewer line snaked again.

Hydro-jetting Requires a Professional

Unlike drain snakes or drain chemicals, a hydro-jetting system should only be used by a professional with Rooter Man. In other words, don’t try to DIY your own hydro jet system or purchase a machine on your own. Professionals with Rooter Man know the right technique and safety precautions to take. It also takes an experienced professional to do a video inspection and decide which types of specialized nozzles to use.
