How Hydro Jetting Can Effectively Clean Your Drainage System

Daniel Gibson • May 26, 2024

A clogged drainage system can lead to an array of issues, including unpleasant odours, slow drainage, and potential property damage. When blockages occur, it's crucial to act fast to prevent these annoyances from escalating into severe complications. While traditional methods of drain cleaning can be effective in certain situations, advances in technology have resulted in one of the most efficient and environmentally friendly techniques in the industry – hydro jetting. This high-pressure water cleaning method is unparalleled when it comes to tackling stubborn blockages and residues in your pipes.


In this comprehensive guide, we will provide you with in-depth information about hydro jetting, detailing the process itself and outlining the myriad of benefits it offers over traditional cleaning methods. Additionally, we will highlight DCG Plumbing's expertise and commitment to providing the best hydro jetting services available on the market, helping you make educated decisions when seeking drainage system care and maintenance. And of course, once your drains have been restored to pristine condition, we will provide tips and recommendations for maintaining clean and unobstructed drainage systems.


Hydro Jetting Explained: Unravelling the Technology and Process


At its core, hydro jetting is a powerful high-pressure water cleaning technique that effectively removes blockages, residues, and build-ups from drainage pipes. Let's delve into the process and the equipment used:


1. The Process


The hydro jetting process begins with a close inspection of your drainage systems using a state-of-the-art CCTV camera to assess the type of blockage, its location, and the overall condition of the pipes. This step is essential in determining the best course of action and the suitability of hydro jetting as a solution.


Once the blockage is identified, and hydro jetting is deemed an appropriate method, a specialized hose fitted with a multi-directional high-pressure water jetting nozzle is inserted into the pipe. As high-pressure water is released, it blasts away any obstructions, residues, and build-ups, effectively cleaning and unclogging the pipe.


2. The Equipment


Hydro jetting systems usually consist of a high-pressure hose, a multi-directional nozzle, and a water pump capable of generating water pressure anywhere between 1,500 to 4,000 psi (pounds per square inch). The high-pressure pump produces the required force and volume to dislodge and clear even the most stubborn blockages.


The Benefits of Hydro Jetting Over Traditional Drain Cleaning Methods


Hydro jetting has gained significant momentum in the plumbing industry, thanks to its numerous benefits compared to alternative drain cleaning methods:


1. Thorough Cleaning


The high-pressure water used in hydro jetting guarantees comprehensive cleaning of your pipes. It is capable of removing not just the blockages but also accumulated debris, grease, mineral deposits, and tree roots.


2. Environmentally Friendly


Hydro jetting relies solely on water pressure to clean your pipes without the use of harmful chemicals or detergents, making it an eco-friendly alternative to chemical cleaning solutions.


3. Versatility


By adjusting the water pressure, hydro jetting can cater to a wide range of pipeline materials, including PVC, metal, and clay pipes, making it a versatile solution for various pipe systems and blockage types.


4. Preventative Maintenance


By removing the build-up that accumulates over time, hydro jetting can help prolong the life and performance of your drainage system, saving you time and money in the long run.
