Have you ever wondered what all goes into the process of a hydro jetting a drain pipe? If you have never heard of hydro jetting, I’m here to tell you all about it. More so, so you can be aware of the process and understand what goes into this type of service.
Let’s go through the hydro jetting process by following along with these certain steps. A plumber will take these steps from start to finish.
Step 1: Running a Camera Inspection
The first step in the hydro jetting process is running a camera inspection down your pipelines. This helps the plumber become aware of what is built up in your pipes and what might be causing your drain pipe to clog.
The camera shows there is grease buildup inside the pipes. If this was not cleared regularly, it could cause your pipes to clog. Therefore, leaving you with a bigger issue at hand.
Step 2: Hydro Jetting the Sewer Line
The camera inspection is over and the plumber is aware of what’s causing the issues in the pipe. Secondly, run the hydro jet down into the pipes where the clog or blockage is. The hydro jet will be able to clear the pipes of all debris no matter what it is. Therefore, your pipes will be able to drain efficiently.
Step 3: Post Camera Inspection
After your plumber has finished hydro jetting your pipes, they will send down the camera into the pipes again. This is to make sure that the pipes are completely cleaned out and free from all unwanted material and debris.
Once they have ensured that the pipes are cleaned out, the hydro jetting service is finished. All they have left to do is clean up the area and put back all of the equipment. Look at the aftermath of hydro jetting below!
