Taking care of a sewer is essential if you want to enjoy problem-free drainage for your home or work premises.
When Should You Hydro Jet?
Anyone who has ever experienced the frustration of a slow draining sink or bathtub will no doubt already be aware of many “do it yourself” approaches, such as a plunger, or chemical treatments. The reasons for these simple clogs are described here. Unfortunately, sometimes, when a clog or blockage is larger than average, stronger action will likely be required.
The best option is to use a hydro jet. This approach sees a specialist access the sewer pipe via a “clean out”, which is a special opening that enables professionals to gain access to clogs. The hydro jet, which is essentially a high pressure water hose with a specially designed nozzle, will then force water through the pipe with enough force to dislodge the most stubborn clogs and blockages. Able to achieve pressures of 60,000 PSI, it can even be used to clear away tree roots which have grown into the sewer pipeline, without damaging the sewer lining.
Your engineer will typically use a telescopic camera to check the state of the sewer pipe before beginning the hydro jet process. Of course, if you discover that more action is needed than simply cleaning the pipe, then it makes sense to look for advice from an expert, found at specialist sites such as wilkinson-env.co.uk/sewer-repairs-drain-lining-concrete-cutting/drain-repairs/drain-repairs-solihull/.
The Benefits Of The Hydro Jet Approach
Choosing to deal with a blockage with a hydro jet gives you a number of benefits. As well as having the power to successfully break up the matter that comprises larger blockages and clogs, a hydro jet will clean the sewer pipe at the same time. It will simply wash away the minerals and grease that will deposit on the interior of the sewer over time, helping to maintain your sewerage system. This deep clean is achieved thanks to the hydro jet’s special nozzle that works to rotate the water spray, ensuring that all parts of the pipe are reached with a blast of liquid. Meanwhile, the water that flushes back will draw away the waste and debris that is dislodged. So, if you hope to protect a sewer pipe lining Solihull or the surrounding areas, opting for a hydro jet treatment can be a smart choice.
