Effective Sewer Line Maintenance through Hydro Jetting

Identifying Sewer Blockages

Your sewer line is often hidden, but must not be overlooked during plumbing issues.

In case you observe these indicators, a sewer line blockage might exist:

• Your toilet water bubbles up.
• You see wastewater coming up in the shower when the toilet flushes.
• Your sinks and showers drain sluggishly.
• There’s a gurgling sound and sewer-like odor coming from the drains.

Our experts at Morris Plumbing Services can determine if the blockage is in one drain or your sewer line. A clogged sewer line requires immediate attention to prevent water overflow into your living spaces. Our professionals recommend the process of hydro jetting to clear any blockages from within the sewer pipe.

Hydro Jetting Explained

This technique, similar to power washing, uses water jets for clearing blockages and debris.

Our skilled team ensures the line is sound before starting the process. When pipes are older or less stable, we offer the option of a snake tool, which is gentler and avoids using high pressure.

Hydro Jetting Process Overview

Hydro jetting begins with a camera inspection of the sewer line.

The camera inspection helps us ensure hydro jetting is safe for the sewer pipe’s state.

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 take another video inspection to ensure the work is complete.

Maintaining Sewer Lines with Hydro Jetting

By scheduling regular hydro jetting, you maintain your sewer line’s efficiency.

For businesses, hydro jetting annually is best, while for homes, a two-to-three-year interval is sufficient.
