What You Should Know About Sewer Lines
Assessing the Need for Hydro-Jetting
Before determining if hydro-jetting is the best option, a sewage camera inspection is first needed to identify underlying pipe issues. While hydro-jetting alone may suffice for some blockages, heavy tree roots may require prior snaking to clear the way for effective hydro-jetting.
Hydro-jetting should always be performed by a professional. Going into the process blind can cause damage to the pipes. If there are weakened areas in your pipes, then hydro-jetting should be avoided; this can further exacerbate the damage and cause the pipe to break. At Miller's Services, we assess the suitability of hydro-jetting for your pipes using sewer camera inspections, ensuring optimal results while preventing potential pipe damage.
Common Issues Resolved With Hydro-Jetting
- Grease build-up
- Light tree roots (heavier roots may require a snake before hydro-jetting)
- Food build-up
- Hair clogs
Environmental Benefits
Hydro-jetting is an eco-friendly method that uses high-powered pressurized water instead of harsh chemicals. While commonly used in restaurants, homeowners can also benefit from routine hydro-jetting to maintain clean and functional pipes.
