The Good Plumber’s Manual: The Do’s & Don’ts Of Hydro Jetting

Long gone are the days when rodding was the norm for clogged pipes, and plungers took care of the usual u-bend issues in the privy. But now, there is hydro-jetting, a better, compelling, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective method to deal with faulty plumbing. With a pipe-friendly pressure of 400 psi, and a trusty hydro jetting professional by your side, all that grime, grease, and build-up gets flushed away.

In the Sunshine State’s Venice , the procedure is entirely safe and effective for commercial, industrial, municipal and institutional buildings and private dwellings linked to a standard sewage system.

If you require hydro jetting, or any other residential or commercial drain cleaning solutions in Florida, the experts at Premier Plumbers are at your service with superior plumbing services !

Expert-Led Project

Ever seen a dentist doing a root canal? Or had one yourself? Apply the same reverence of precision and agility to hydro jetting , and expect the same amount of agony if you DIY and mess up the job. Jokes apart, this is one job best left to trained professionals. 

Professional Evaluation

Drain cleaning is not as easy as it sounds. A professional will conduct a thorough video inspection of the property’s plumbing system to identify any compromised pipes that might need replacing before using the high-pressure jets. Then comes the bit about using the proper nozzle for the job: rotating, tube cleaning, forward-firing, five and three-side jet, etc. Don’t even get us started on the diameters and specs!

Don’t Be Like Scrooge

A hydro jetting job usually costs between $250 to $650. That said, and depending on your needs, the job can rack up quite a cost, but it is effective. Hydro-jetting doesn’t just unclog the pipes; it clears away all surface clinging obstructions, so your lines are as good as new.

Green Cleaning

If you advocate for preserving the general environment and local ecosystem, we suggest hydro jetting as a viable means of eliminating your plumbing issues. All it takes is pressurized water, no chemicals, no hot water, no drain cleaners, and you get a sparkling conscience.

When to Deliberate the DON’Ts

Inexperienced DIY

For your safety in equipment handling with hydro-jetting, we again stress not to take on a hydro-jetting project unless you have adequate experience in the use of the equipment.

Older Sewer Lines

Florida has a rich settlement history dating back three centuries and has old drain systems and pipes in antique properties. Care should be taken whether these plumbing networks can handle the pressurized cleaning. In such cases, snaking is the preferred and preserving method to use.

Pipe Root Infestation

Understandably, plant life develops extensive root systems around plumbing leaks, weakening the pipe around joints. Thorough evaluation or replacement of the pipe may be needed instead of hydro-jetting.

Unanticipated Events

With jet pressures at 3500 psi – 5000 psi required for some plumbing projects and suddenly a severe compromise in drain pipe integrity arises: AVOID HYDRO-JET!

We don’t mean to discourage you, but rather to assist and save on your time by dealing with the problem professionally. It’s less hassle for you, and you can join in to observe as well.
