Why Use Hydro Jetting Services?
Hydro jetting can be explained as a professional service that uses a high-pressure stream of water to break up clogs and debris that has accumulated in pipes. It is a relatively simple process but provides great results. Apart from breaking up buildups of grease and hair, a strong enough hydro jet can also destroy tree roots that may be causing slow drainage or damage to your pipes.
Because hydro jetting uses such a high pressure of water, it efficiently cleans the sides of the pipes. Ensuring that there is nothing left on the walls of plumbing means that the results are long-lasting as new debris and grease have nothing to grab onto.

The Benefits of Hydro Jetting Clogged Pipes
You may be wondering what the big deal is with hydro jetting. Aside from the ability to break up any and all clogs and debris, it also has the capability of removing bacteria. When grease, soap, toothpaste, and other substances build up, they become a breeding ground for germs that can make you sick. Some of the most common types of bacteria found include E. coli, salmonella, shigella, vibrio, and rotaviruses. All of these bacteria are illness-causing, especially in babies and the elderly.
The process of hydro jetting is also environmentally friendly. Because the process is so thorough, it is not necessary multiple times each year which saves water and money. Also, hydro jetting does not involve any harsh chemicals that can be harmful to the environment.

How Often Should You Hydro Jet Your Drains?
Hydro jetting involves using a high-pressure stream of water to remove blockages from your drains and sewer lines. This is especially useful when you have clogs that normal drain cleaning methods cannot remove.
While this is efficient at removing blockages, you don’t need to use it every time your drains start to slow – only for larger clogs. You should schedule services with Towers Plumbing’s technicians when you have hard-to-remove or large blockages. You can also schedule services about once a year- or every other year – as a form of preventative maintenance to remove any blockages that are forming but are not yet causing clogs or disturbances in your system.
Hydro Jetting Sewer Lines
While hydro jetting is efficient for removing clogs in your drains, it’s also safe – and useful – for removing blockages in your sewer lines. These services can clean the inside of your line, successfully removing all buildups. The best part – it removes the clogs in a non-invasive way. Our professionals do not need to dig up your yard to access the line.
Hydro jetting is also a safe method to remove blockages. Our technicians do not need to use chemicals – the water pressure is enough to clean the pipes. This makes hydro jetting safe for your family, and also an environmentally friendly solution.
Another benefit of hydro jetting that you might not think about – or want to think about – is that it can break up small tree roots in your line. Believe it or not, tree roots can infiltrate your lines, causing blockages and other damage. But if the roots are caught early, hydro jetting can successfully remove them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why do my drains get clogged?
Drains can become clogged for several reasons:
- Hair: This is a common culprit in blocking drains. Over time, accumulated hair can entangle soap and other debris, leading to significant clogs.
- Food Waste: In kitchen sinks, food particles mixed with grease and oil can easily lead to blockages. Even small amounts of food can begin to cause issues over time.
- Mineral Buildup: Often overlooked, minerals from hard water can deposit inside pipes, gradually narrowing them and reducing water flow, eventually causing clogs.
- Foreign Objects: Occasionally, items that shouldn’t be flushed or washed down the drain end up there anyway. This includes things like jewelry, small toys, or other miscellaneous items, which can obstruct water flow and create clogs.
- Tree Roots: Another less visible but common issue is tree roots infiltrating sewer lines through tiny cracks or joints in search of nutrients, leading to blockages.
Regular drain maintenance is crucial to ensure smooth water flow in your home or business.
Q: Is it safe to use chemical drain cleaners?
While chemical drain cleaners can dissolve clogs, they come with several risks:
- Health Hazards: These cleaners often contain strong chemicals that can cause skin burns, eye irritation, and respiratory issues if inhaled.
- Environmental Impact: Everything that goes down your drain eventually ends up in natural waterways, so using harsh chemicals can have negative environmental effects.
- Damage to Plumbing: Chemical cleaners are corrosive. While they’re designed to break down clogs, they can also damage your pipes over time, leading to leaks and other issues.
- Ineffectiveness: Not all clogs are susceptible to chemical cleaners, making them ineffective in some scenarios.
Instead of chemical solutions, consider using biological products that are safer for maintaining your drains. Depending on the nature of the clog, it might also be wise to consult a professional plumber.
