Clogged drains and sluggish pipes are more than just annoying—they can cause serious plumbing issues if left untreated. While traditional snaking methods can sometimes provide a temporary fix, there’s another solution that delivers deeper, longer-lasting results: high pressure water jetting. At Litteken Plumbing, we use this advanced method to keep plumbing systems throughout the Metro East running clean and clear.
What Is High Pressure Water Jetting?
High pressure water jetting (also called hydro jetting) is a powerful drain cleaning technique that uses streams of pressurized water to clear blockages and debris inside pipes. A specialized nozzle is inserted into the plumbing system, and water is blasted through at up to 4,000 PSI, scouring the inside of the pipes without the use of harsh chemicals.
This process is safe for most residential and commercial plumbing systems and highly effective at removing stubborn buildup.
What Can It Remove?
High pressure water jetting is ideal for clearing out:
- Grease and oil buildup
- Hair and soap scum
- Tree roots and organic matter
- Mineral and scale deposits
- Food waste and sludge
Unlike snaking, which only punches a hole through the blockage, jetting clears the entire pipe diameter for better long-term performance.
Benefits of High Pressure Water Jetting
This method of pipe cleaning offers a number of important advantages:
1. Thorough Cleaning
High pressure jetting removes debris from every inch of the pipe’s interior, not just the clog itself. This helps prevent future backups and keeps your plumbing system flowing freely.
2. Non-Invasive Solution
There’s no need to dig up your yard or remove drywall. Jetting is done through existing access points, making it a cleaner, less disruptive option.
3. Safe and Eco-Friendly
Because it only uses water, this method doesn’t rely on chemicals that can harm your plumbing or the environment.
4. Cost-Effective
By preventing major backups and identifying issues early, high pressure water jetting can help save money on emergency repairs down the line.
When Should You Consider Jetting?
While high pressure jetting is great for regular maintenance, there are specific signs that indicate it may be time to schedule a service:
- Recurring clogs or slow drains
- Gurgling noises from pipes
- Foul odors from sinks or drains
- Backups in multiple fixtures
If you’ve tried traditional methods and the problem keeps coming back, hydro jetting may be the more effective long-term solution.
