Everything You Need To Know About Pipe Jetting
Sludge, roots, debris, waste, or grease may block sewer pipes and disrupt the flow of runoff water. The stagnant water and the different kinds of smells and odors may cause inconvenience and annoyance making it hard for your customers and employees to work and walk freely. The only solution to such challenges is cleaning everything out of the pipe to allow the water to flow. Sometimes it may be difficult to tell the extent of the problems inside the plumbing pipes hence the need to contact a professional plumber.
What’s pipe jetting?
Pipe jetting is one of the most commonly used methods of opening blocked pipes to allow the flow of water in a drainage system. The process involves the use of powerful blasts of water to obliterate blockages. At a pressure of up to 5000 p.s.i., or more, hydro-jetting is so effective and powerful that it can even remove tree roots! It is considered among the most advanced ways of cleaning pipes as it reduces blockages to semi-solid slurry that then flows down the drainage system unblocking the pipe.
Why you should go for pipe jetting
Camera can be used to view the pipe after unblocking
Pipe jetting involves the use of a camera to inspect the pipes and the extent of blockage. The camera enables the qualified plumber to know how to fix the problem. One major benefit of camera inspection is that it enables the craftsman to determine the hydro-jetting head and pressure ideal for that problem thereby protecting the pipes from damage when removing the dirt. After the unblocking of the pipes in your business, you can view the effectiveness of the hydro-jetting process, thanks to the camera.
It’s eco-friendly
Hydrojetting is an environmentally friendly way of cleaning pipes as it does not involve the use of chemicals or any foreign material. The process only uses pure water and pressure to clean out even the toughest of clogs. Given that pipe jetting does not involve the use of harsh chemicals and foreign substances, there no legal hurdles with regard to its use.
It unblocks and cleans the pipes
Plumbing snakes could also be used to unclear blocked drain pipes. This way of opening pipes only works by punching holes in clogs to allow water flow. However, pipe jetting not only unclogs but also cleans even the smallest traces of dirt to leave the pipe clean and clear. Consequently, this method is associated with benefits such as reduced costs in the long-term.
Although pipe jetting is a safe way of removing a wide range of clogs and obstructions, it could also cause further problems when done by a novice plumber. For instance, when tree-root penetration in the drain pipes is significant, hydro-jetting is not the most effective way of removing blockages.
