Hydroscrubbing, or hydro jetting, is a highly effective method for cleaning drains and sewer lines. It involves using high-pressure water streams to remove debris, grease, tree roots, and other pipe blockages. The powerful water jets can reach up to 4,000 PSI, ensuring thorough cleaning and restoring the flow in your drainage system.
How does hydro jet drain cleaning work?
Hydro jet drain cleaning involves inserting a specialized nozzle into the drain or sewer line. This nozzle is connected to a high-pressure pump that speeds up water through the pipes. The water jets blast through blockages and buildup, effectively clearing the pipes. This method is environmentally friendly, using only water without harsh chemicals.
Is HydroScrub® jetting safe for all types of pipes?
Yes, HydroScrub® jetting is safe for most types of pipes, including PVC, copper, and cast iron. However, it is essential to have one of our service professionals assess the condition of your pipes before using this method. Older or damaged pipes may require alternative cleaning methods to avoid further damage.
