“Hydrojetting” sounds a bit intimidating, doesn’t it? If you’re picturing powerful jets of water pushing through a water line to clear out blockages...well, you’re right. Hydrojetting is basically the Hulk of drain cleaning. Read on to find out how Charlotte hydrojetting services work, what equipment is used, and when it’s necessary.
How Does Hydrojetting Work?
A high-pressure water pump, powered by an engine, pressurized water. Units are rated by PSI (pressure) and water flow (GPM) according to the horsepower of the engine. That water under pressure is delivered to a hose reel, and adding a nozzle to the end of it creates more pressure. Nozzles direct the water streams to clear out the mess and to help propel the hose through a pipe.
When Do You Need Hydrojetting?
We do storm and sewer system hydrojetting for everything from commercial and industrial businesses to hotels and high rises to residential private communities. We use Mongoose Jetters to get the job done.
Blockages can happen in storm drains and sewer lines. The following is a list of things that can build up and require hydrojetting:
- Roots
- Dirt, gravel, and debris
- Fats, oils, and grease
- Sand and sediment
- Mineral deposits
Why You Need the Professionals
One very important word: Safety. While you can buy hydrojetting equipment on your own, we don’t recommend it for two reasons. First, it’s powerful machinery that can be dangerous if you don’t have proper training for usage. Second, if you’d poured drain cleaner down your pipes first and are trying this method, you may be hydrojetting damaged pipes. Professionals have the right training for using the equipment and the knowhow to work with pipes post-drain cleaner.
