Hydro Jetting in Seattle

How Does Hydro Jetting Work?

Hydro jetting is a highly effective method used for cleaning and clearing pipes and sewer lines. At Green Planet Plumbing & Sewer, we employ state-of-the-art hydro jetting technology to provide efficient and thorough cleaning solutions for our customers in Seattle.

Hydro jetting works by utilizing a high-pressure stream of water to remove various types of debris, buildup, and blockages from pipes and sewer lines. Our technicians use specialized equipment that can deliver water at pressures ranging from 1,500 to 4,000 pounds per square inch (psi), depending on the specific requirements of the job.

When performing hydro jetting, our skilled technicians insert a flexible hose equipped with a nozzle into the affected pipe or sewer line. The nozzle is designed to emit a powerful jet of water in multiple directions, effectively scouring the interior surfaces of the pipe and dislodging any accumulated debris, grease, roots, scale, or other obstructions.

Unlike traditional methods such as snaking or mechanical augering, which may only punch a hole through the blockage, hydro jetting thoroughly cleans the entire diameter of the pipe, restoring optimal flow and functionality. It is a non-invasive technique that minimizes the risk of damage to the pipes and eliminates the need for harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

The Benefits of Hydro Jetting 

At Green Planet Plumbing & Sewer, we believe in providing environmentally friendly solutions that deliver exceptional results. Hydro jetting aligns perfectly with our commitment to sustainability and eco-conscious practices. Here are some key benefits of hydro jetting compared to other cleaning methods:

Environmental Friendliness: Hydro jetting relies solely on the power of water, making it a safe and environmentally friendly option for cleaning pipes and sewer lines. Unlike chemical drain cleaners or mechanical methods that may introduce harmful substances into the environment, hydro jetting poses no risk of pollution or contamination.

Thorough Cleaning: Unlike snaking or mechanical augering, which may only clear a partial blockage, hydro jetting provides a comprehensive cleaning solution. The high-pressure water stream effectively removes all types of debris, including grease, sludge, scale, and tree roots, leaving the pipes clean and free-flowing.

Preventative Maintenance: Hydro jetting not only clears existing blockages but also helps prevent future clogs and backups by thoroughly cleaning the interior surfaces of the pipes. By removing buildup and debris, hydro jetting reduces the risk of recurring problems and extends the lifespan of the plumbing system.

Versatility: Hydro jetting can be used to clean pipes of various materials and sizes, including PVC, clay, cast iron, and concrete. It is suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial applications, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of plumbing challenges.
