What Is Water Jetting and How Can It Clean Your Sewer and Drains?

Posted July 20, 2016

Water jetting is a high-pressure cleaning method that uses powerful jets of water to remove grease, sludge, tree roots, and other debris from sewer and drain lines. Unlike traditional drain snakes, water jetting thoroughly cleans the pipe walls, eliminating buildup and residue that can lead to recurring clogs. This safe and environmentally-friendly technique is one of the most effective ways to keep your plumbing system running smoothly.

How Does Water Jetting Work?

The water jetting process uses advanced pumps and flexible hoses to deliver water at high pressure directly into your sewer or drain lines. A specialized nozzle directs water jets both forward and backward, allowing the system to:

  • Scrub the pipe walls clean of grease and residue.
  • Break up sludge and flush it out of the system.
  • Cut through tough obstructions like tree roots and hardened scale.

This method not only removes blockages but also prevents future clogs by thoroughly flushing out the plumbing system.

Benefits of High-Pressure Water Jetting

Water jetting offers several advantages over traditional drain cleaning methods:

  • Effective Cleaning: Removes grease, sludge, and other debris completely, ensuring pipes are clear.
  • Eco-Friendly: Uses water rather than harsh chemicals, making it safer for the environment.
  • Prevents Recurring Clogs: Cleans pipe walls to reduce the likelihood of future blockages.
  • Safe for Pipes: When performed by professionals, water jetting won’t damage your plumbing system.

When Should You Consider Water Jetting?

Water jetting is an excellent option for:

  • Clearing stubborn clogs that traditional methods can’t handle.
  • Maintaining high-usage pipes in homes or businesses.
  • Removing grease buildup in kitchen drains.
  • Resolving recurring drain issues caused by tree roots or scale.

Regular water jetting maintenance can also help extend the life of your plumbing system.
