Sewer Line Cleaning with Hydro Jetting

Understanding Sewer Line Problems

Though it’s unseen, your sewer line is critical in cases of plumbing issues.

In case you observe any of these signs, you could have a blocked sewer line:

• Bubbling water appears in your toilet.
• Flushing the toilet causes wastewater to back up into your bathtub or shower drain.
• Your sinks and showers drain sluggishly.
• Your drains release sewer smells and strange noises.

Our experts at Montevallo Plumbing Services identify if a single drain or the sewer line as a whole is impacted. When facing a clogged sewer line, it’s essential to act swiftly to avoid unpleasant wastewater overflows into your house. Our professionals suggest using hydro jetting to wash away buildup or obstructions from within the sewer pipe.

What is Hydro Jetting?

This technique, similar to power washing, uses powerful jets of water for clearing the pipe interior.

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

What to Expect During Hydro Jetting

Hydro jetting starts with inspecting the sewer line through a camera.

The camera images helps us ensure hydro jetting is appropriate for your sewer line’s condition.

When ready, we place a hose into your sewer cleanout, activate the hydro jetting machine, and flush out debris with powerful water blasts.

After clearing the pipe, we inspect with a camera again to confirm satisfactory cleaning.

Using Hydro Jetting for Prevention

For ongoing maintenance, periodic hydro jetting can clear blockages, tree roots, and silt and helps prevent future issues.

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