What to Expect During a Hydro Jetting Service Appointment

Plumbing problems have a knack for showing up at the worst possible times, like when guests are over and the sink turns into a smelly, swampy, overflowing mess. When slow drains and stubborn clogs act up, reaching for a plunger or a bottle of pour-in, fast-acting chemicals may be tempting. However, these solutions are short-lived.

Enter hydro jetting—a powerful, high-pressure cleaning method to blast clogs, grease, gunk, and grime from your home’s plumbing system.

If you’ve never had hydro jetting services, you may be picturing something from a science-fiction movie; however, the process is more efficient and straightforward than you imagine. Curious about what to expect? Walk through the experience from initial inspection to cleanup, then contact Elite Heating and AC Repair to schedule an appointment.

The Initial Inspection and Diagnosis of Your Plumbing System

Before the water-blasting magic begins, a professional plumber inspects your pipes using a camera. This helps to pinpoint specific issues and problem areas, identifying types of blockages and their severity. Camera inspections ensure your plumbing pipes are sturdy enough to handle hydro jetting. Think of it like a doctor checking your vitals before surgery.

Preparation and Safety Measures Before the Service

Plumbers ensure your home and plumbing system is ready for high-pressure action! After shutting off the water, plumbers clear access points and check the strength of your pipelines. It’s all about preventing accidental indoor water parks.

The Hydro Jetting Process: How It Works

• A high-pressure hose is inserted into the plumbing system via a minimally invasive entry point (usually outdoors).
• Water is blasted at (up to) 4,000 PSI to break apart tough blockages.
• Grease, grime, and years of debris are flushed away, leaving the pipe walls clear (like power-washing your driveway, but for your home’s plumbing system).

Post-Service Cleanup and System Assessment

After the hydro jetting session, the plumber will do a final camera inspection to ensure the pipes are clean and clear. Missed debris and leftover gunk will be washed twice until the pipe walls gleam. As for messes, your service technicians will clean up after themselves and check behind for potential system issues. There will be no dirty surprises—you’ll be left with a tip-top home plumbing setup.

Benefits and Maintenance Tips After Hydro Jetting

Hydro jetting is a long-term solution to bacterial buildup and plumbing pipe blockages. With routine hydro jetting sessions, you can prevent future clogs, improve water flow, and ensure better overall plumbing health.

To keep things flowing smoothly, avoid flushing non-degradable items like paper towels and feminine hygiene products. Also, schedule routine annual plumbing inspections and never pour grease into your drains. Taking precautionary steps will help extend the life of your home’s pipes while preventing future plumbing headaches.
