Hydro Jetting and Sewer Line Cleaning

Understanding Sewer Line Problems

Though it’s unseen, your sewer line remains a vital component when facing plumbing issues.

When you encounter any of these signs, a sewer line blockage might exist:

• Bubbling water appears in your toilet.
• Wastewater flows out of your shower or bathtub drain when you flush the toilet.
• Drainage is slow in sinks, tubs, and showers.
• Your drains release sewer smells and strange noises.

Our experts at Greensboro Plumbing Services can determine whether a single drain or the sewer line as a whole is impacted. A clogged sewer line requires immediate attention to prevent wastewater backups into your home. Our professionals recommend the process of hydro jetting to clear any blockages from inside the line.

Understanding Hydro Jetting

Hydro jetting resembles power washing, where strong water pressure cleans the sewer pipe interior.

The process applies water pressure levels from 2,000 to 4,000 psi to remove accumulated grease, roots, sludge, and debris from the sewer pipe.

Hydro Jetting Process Overview

The first step in hydro jetting involves checking the pipe with a video camera.

Our technicians use a camera to find the blockage and decide the necessary water pressure.

The hydro jetting machine is then set up, and a hose is inserted into your sewer cleanout to blast away blockages with water.

After clearing the pipe, we take another video inspection to ensure the work is complete.

Maintaining Sewer Lines with Hydro Jetting

Regular hydro jetting can keep your sewer line in top shape by clearing out grease, tree roots, and other build-ups.

We recommend hydro jetting every year for commercial properties and every two to three years for homes.
