The drains in your Kalispell home are a top component of your plumbing system and need to be cared for to move waste out of your fixtures efficiently and effectively. If your drains are clogged or full of gunk, you’ll have messy, inconvenient, and costly issues. Hydro-jetting is a service that can help you keep your drainage pipes clear and clean, preventing a variety of damaging problems with your overall plumbing system.
How Does Hydro-Jetting Work?
Hydro-jetting is a form of drain cleaning performed by a professional plumber. This method of cleaning uses pressurized water to scour and flush your drain pipes, removing anything that doesn’t belong. Your plumber uses special equipment to spray the powerful water into the drains, cleaning the inner walls and everything stuck in the way. This service is minimally invasive and takes only a couple of hours in most cases.
Professional plumbers recommend scheduling drain cleaning services with hydro-jetting technology once every year to maximize the benefits and prevent plumbing problems. You should never attempt to clean your drains yourself as you could cause more harm than good. Never use liquid drain agents as they contain caustic and harmful chemicals and do not ever stick foreign objects down the drain. Only trained professionals know how to best remove buildup without damaging your pipes.
Benefits of Hydro-Jetting
Routine hydro-jetting and drain cleaning services ensure you have a clean and healthy drainage system. This service helps you avoid costly disasters and keep your plumbing system in optimal condition.
Remove Clogs and Obstructions
Food, hair, and other debris can sometimes enter your drain and will occasionally get stuck. When this happens, other materials may start to build up with them, causing a blockage in your drain. Hydro-jetting uses powerful water to dislodge and push through these obstructions, helping move the debris out of your pipes and to the sewer system.
Prevent Future Clogs
Hydro-jetting flushes all gunk and junk out of the drain pipes, leaving the entire pathway clear for waste to travel through. This clean passage means that it will take longer for a clog to form, so long as you take other preventative measures. Other things to try in conjunction with routine drain cleaning include using strainers and hair catchers in your sinks and showers, knowing what items are safe for the drainage system, and using a garbage disposal for food waste.
Improve Drainage Speed
If you’ve ever stood in the shower and watched the water level rise rather than going straight down the drain, you probably had a blockage in the pipes. When buildup accumulates inside the drains, your fixtures cannot drain as effectively. This may sometimes cause water to rise in the sink or tub as the water seeks an appropriate exit. This might not seem like much of a problem, but it is a sure warning sign that you need to have your drains cleaned immediately to prevent more damaging issues.
Protect Your Pipes
Most pipes are durable enough to last for decades, with many never having to replace the pipes in their homes. If you neglect to schedule regular drain cleaning, that could be a different story. As foreign material builds up inside your drain pipes, it may begin to cause erosion. Erosion inside your pipes leads to holes that allow water to leak out. Further, large clogs can weigh down your pipes. Over time this added weight could be too much stress for your pipe and cause it to burst. Hydro-jetting service removes these substances, eliminating the risk of damaged pipes due to buildup and clogs.
Protect Your Home
Damaged pipes due to clogs and buildup can spell catastrophic trouble for your home and belongings. Given the layout and design of most plumbing systems, the majority of your pipes are located in a discrete area. The drain pipes mostly run behind the walls, under the floors, and in other hidden spaces. For this reason, even small leaks can create big problems. Left undetected, leaky and burst pipes can damage your home and belongings, leaving you with a costly clean-up and repair bill.
Eliminate Foul Odors
Food and other debris that lingers inside your drains can begin to smell as it rots. This foul odor will not always stay inside the pipe and could spill out through fixtures and fill your house with a terrible odor. Hydro-jetting solves this problem by flushing away the offending debris and taking the nasty smells to the sewer and out of your drains.
Promote Quiet Drainage
If you hear anything more than a quiet swoosh of water when waste drains from your sink or shower, you’ve got a plumbing problem. When drain pipes become narrowed due to buildup or clogged with gunk, water, and waste must squeeze past to continue the journey to the sewer. When this happens, you may hear cracking or popping noises. Further, gurgling sounds in the toilet or other plumbing fixtures indicate a blocked line and could be a warning sign of an emergency situation.
Wash Away Toxins and Contaminants
Gunk and goo inside your drain pipes create a perfect environment for mold, mildew, and bacteria to grow and spread. These contaminants may even move outside the pipes, spreading into your sink or tub and creating a health risk for you and your family. Hydro-jetting removes these toxins by washing away the buildup that caused them to grow, flushing them down the drain and away from your pipes.
Prevent Floods and Backups
Blockages in your drain pipes may mean that waste has nowhere to go. You may experience overflows in your toilet, sink, or tub when this happens. What’s worse, you could experience backups when one drain pathway is clogged and waste takes another route back up to another fixture. Backups can get nasty depending on the location of the clog, leaving you with a disgusting mess. Professional drain cleaning with hydro-jet service ensures there is no debris blocking the waste pathway, allowing it to flow freely to the sewer system.
