How hydro jetting works, its importance in drain maintenance, and the benefits of preventative maintenance programs for infrastructure systems.
Hydro jetting is a high-pressure cleaning method that uses water to clear drains, pipes, and underground infrastructure. Powerful, precise, and highly effective, it is a key tool for preventative maintenance programs. This blog explores how hydro jetting works, its applications, and why it’s essential for maintaining healthy drainage systems.
What is Hydro Jetting?
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water jets to remove:
· Blockages from grease, debris, and sediment
· Roots and vegetation intrusion
· Mineral buildup or corrosion is safe for pipes when performed by trained professionals and highly effective for long-term maintenance.
How Hydro Jetting Works
Preparation
Access points are cleared, and the target pipe section is identified
High-Pressure Water Application
Water is pumped through specialized nozzles at pressures up to 4,000 psi
Debris Removal
The force of the water removes blockages, cleans pipe walls, and flushes debris
Inspection
Post-jetting, CCTV or manual inspection ensures pipes are fully cleared
Benefits of Hydro Jetting
· Power: Effectively clears even stubborn blockages
· Precision: Targets problem areas without damaging pipes
· Preventative Maintenance: Reduces the risk of future clogs and costly repairs
· Efficiency: Fast and environmentally friendly method of cleaning
Applications of Hydro Jetting
