High-pressure water jetting, also known as hydro jetting or high-pressure pipe cleaning, is a forceful cleaning method for removing severe or intractable obstructions from drains, sewers, and other pipe systems. It sprays highly pressured water down the afflicted pipe, eliminating all particles and residues for a comprehensive, long-lasting clean. It can even assist to avoid future system faults if done regularly by a competent professional.
Application of Water Jetting for Sewer Cleaning
Water jetting services are perfect for removing severe and difficult obstructions from the drain and sewage systems, such as concrete or roots. These obstacles can create system backlog and overflow, which can harm both the facility and the equipment. Water jetting equipment is strong enough to break up and flush these objects out of the line, enabling water and other materials to flow freely again. Water jetting is used for the following purposes in addition to clearing impediments such as concrete and roots from drain and sewage lines:
- Degreasing of pipes
- Descaling of pipes
- Thawing and Dicing of pipes
- Pipe cleaning in general
What Is Water Jetting and How Does It Work?
To create highly pressured water jets, high-pressure water jetting uses specialised equipment called water jetters. A heavy-duty hose, a nozzle, a water tank, a pump, and a motor are among the components of the units.
The tank and motor are connected to the pump, which is connected to the hose, which is connected to the nozzle. The nozzle’s design is critical to the procedure. It has small apertures on the front and rear that point forward and backwards. The hose and nozzle assembly push into the drain or sewage line when water is forced through them by the pump, breaking up and flushing out any filth and debris that has gathered inside it.
To manage different sorts of accumulations and blockages, such as dirt or tree roots, several types of nozzles are employed. Because of the high-pressure equipment’s power, it must be operated by a skilled specialist. Instead, the pipe system is in danger of being damaged. The following are the steps in a typical water jetting operation:
- Place the hose in the drain or sewage line by lowering it.
- Initiating the flow of pressurised water via the hose and nozzle assembly by turning on the engine that powers the pump.
- Allowing the hose and nozzle assembly to break up and clean off particles and residues as it travels back to the pipe entry through the line
Your drains will stay clear if you use water jetting regularly. Clear pipes also mean fewer repair calls, lower total costs, and one less concern for you. Your home may require yearly cleaning, inspections, or water jetting services, depending on the type of pipes you have, the size of your home, and other considerations.
