Hydro Jetting Services in Akron

What Is Hydro Jetting?

Hydro jetting is a specialized plumbing process that uses high-pressure water to clean your pipes. We shoot water at up to 5,000 psi through your sewer lines. This high-pressure water is strong enough to remove any obstacles in your lines.

Our Akron hydro jetting plumbers use a large tank of water and a special hose that withstands high pressure. We will adjust the water pressure depending on the pipe conditions in your home. We insert the pressured water from the downstream portion of your plumbing system. The pressurized water scrubs out your pipes and then flows back down with gravity to exit your home.

Advantages of Hydro Jetting Over Cabling

The traditional method of clearing blocked plumbing lines is called cabling or snaking. Plumbers can use a tool with a hand crank attached to a metal tube with a cable inside. The cable has blades or an auger to power through a clog. Plumbers snake the cable through the pipes until they meet resistance, then use the hand crank to turn the cable and break up the clog. Cabling is fine for minor clogs, but hydro jetting is a more thorough solution.

Hydro jetting is a great solution because it:

• Removes the clogs completely
• Breaks up tree roots
• Removes all mineral and grease buildup from pipe walls
• Reduces trauma to your pipes as compared to cabling

Is Hydro Jetting Right for Me?

Call our experts to find out if hydro jetting is the best solution for you. We will use a camera to inspect your lines and assess whether your pipes are damaged. Hydro jetting can cause more damage to weak or cracked pipes, so we will first conduct a thorough investigation before using this process.

If you have years of buildup from minerals or sludge, hydro jetting can greatly improve your water flow. If tree roots are invading your underground pipes, hydro jetting can be the quickest and most cost-effective solution. We will also use hydro jetting before lining your pipes, since pipes cannot be property lined if roots or debris are clogging your pipes.
