What is Hydro Jetting?

Do you know what the interior of your drains look like? Do you feel as though your drains are moving slower than ever? You need to make certain that your drainpipes are kept clean in order to keep your home hygienic and to prevent the damage caused by faulty piping and overflowing. As one of the most important parts of your home, you need to take care of your plumbing system so that it can take care of you.  At Bell Plumbing and Heating, we offer comprehensive drain cleaning services in Denver. We use hydro jetting technology, and we’d like to explain a bit more about what that is in today’s blog post.

Over time, your drainpipes endure a significant amount of wear and tear. They get filled with hair, grease, and other organic waste and particles that get flushed down the toilet, or sent down your kitchen sink drain. Not only that, but if you have hard water circulating through your home, then it is also subject to the accumulation of mineral deposits that can be incredibly difficult to remove. Scraping your pipes clean can actually cause damage over time, so how do you keep your drains clean at all times? Hydro jetting is an excellent technology that allows your plumber to clean your pipes thoroughly, quickly, and most importantly of all, safely.

Hydro jetting works a bit like a specialized pressure washer. It is connected to a compressor that gives the system an incredibly high PSI (pounds per square inch) rating, so that it cleans immediately. A long hose is fitted with a special attachment at its end, which allows it to spray at 360 degrees so that the entire interior surface of the pipe is clean. This is put in the drain pipe working against the flow of gravity, so that any debris falls back down into the sewer system. Hydro jetting can remove hard water mineral deposits, in addition to hair and anything else in the way. It can even emulsify grease because of its high pressure.
