Reliable Hydro Jetting Service in Southlake

Southlake Hydro Jetting Plumbers

What is a Southlake Hydro Jetting Plumber?

A Southlake Hydro jetting plumber uses high-pressure water that removes years of build-up on the inside walls of your pipes. It is the best way to get your pipes as close to possible to the day they were installed, short of replacing them completely. Schrader Plumbing uses hydro jetting when clearing clogged pipes and performing scheduled maintenance, and all of our plumbers carry sewer cameras to see the results of the cleaning and to inspect for damages from roots, breakages, etc. Hydro jetting is a highly efficient and effective way of clearing drains that have grease and other debris in the line.

Hydro jetting consists of a high-pressure hose with a specialized nozzle connected to a machine that creates a high-pressure water stream that dislodges debris and clears the drain. The high-pressure water hose is forced down the drain where it pushes grease, mineral build-up, hair, and other debris through the drain. Our hydro jetters are capable of taking on residential and commercial projects. We are able to adjust the PSI (water pressure) and gallons per minute to safely clean your drains. Before and/or after using a hydro jetter, our Southlake hydro jetting plumbers can perform a video inspection on the drain with a small camera to determine where the blockage was and if the pipe is damaged.

When Do I Need a Southlake Hydro Jetting Plumber?

Hydro jetting is best suited to remove grease and/or dirt, rocks and other debris commonly found in kitchen drain lines, washing machine lines, and main sewer lines in homes, and commercial building drainage and plumbing systems.

Benefits of Hydro Jetting

The term ‘hydro-jetting’ may conjure up an image of some device seen in science fiction movies, but the truth is that hydro jetting is a clean, environmentally friendly way to clean pipes. If you deal with constant clogs and slow drains, consider the benefits of using this service.

• THOROUGH CLEANING – Unlike other drain cleaning methods, hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to blast away the most caked-on gunk and buildup in your pipes. The result is a plumbing system that’s much cleaner than any other method.
• REMOVES TOUGH RESIDUE – The average homeowner doesn’t realize the muck that accumulates in their pipes from day-to-day use. Mud, grease, soap, food, and hair go down drains every day. These materials build up over time and leave a residue that can cause blockages. Hydro jetting clears away this stubborn residue to leave pipes cleaner for longer.
• REDUCES BACTERIA – Through everyday use, your pipes become a breeding ground for certain types of bacteria, which can lead to foul odors and health problems. Hydro jetting eliminates this bacteria along with the rest of the gunk in your system.
• LONG LASTING CLEAN – Because of hydro jetting’s high-pressure water blasting through the pipes, it gets rid of more dirt and buildup than other methods, which means your pipes remain clog-free and clean for longer.
• ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY – Unlike chemical drain cleaning products, hydro jetting is chemical-free and completely safe for the environment.

Hydro Jetting Main Sewer Lines

Residential sewer drain cleaning.

Residential lines including laundry room sink, kitchen sink, bathroom sink, bathtub and your underground sewer lines become clogged with grease, cooking oil, leftover food pieces, soap residue and other sediment stuck to the wall of the sanitary lines.

Commercial sewer drain cleaning.

Commercial buildings also require sewer drain cleaning. While there may not be a laundry room or bathtubs in these buildings, you still have bathroom sinks, toilets, soap residue and the possibility of grease building up in your sewer lines.

Drainage Repair & Maintenance

Once the pipes are running clear we can then have a better view with the video camera to see if there are any deficiencies within the system. We also have specialized nozzles that can scour years of grease build-up that has been washed down your drain. When you tend to have blocked drains on a regular basis we can let you know if regular maintenance is a good idea to then avoid any costly damage and/or insurance claims. This is not only a good idea for multi-family dwellings but also for the common single-family house systems.

Grease Traps

Grease traps by nature carry lots of grease down them, and that grease eventually gets clogged up on the walls of the drain lines. Our hydro-jetting service will remove years of grease from your lines, and ensure your lines continue to flow well.

Why Hydro Jetting Is Superior to Snaking or Cabling

Conventional snaking can work for quick fixes, but they just don’t cut it for the long term. On the other hand, Hydro Jetting helps eliminate problems that could arise in the future. While snakes push through the path of least resistance to open up small holes, they can quickly result in another clogged drain as the debris left can collect on the sides of the pipe in the future. Hydro Jetting clears the line of problems, whether grease, soap, or sludge, and removes debris for a quality drain cleaning service that lasts.

Avoid Chemical Drain Cleaners

When most homeowners experience clogged drains, it’s common for them to reach for a chemical drain cleaning product. However, these products have several drawbacks to consider, including:

• SEPTIC SYSTEM DAMAGE – If you have a septic system, you know it relies on naturally occurring bacteria to break down waste. Chemical drain cleaners can kill the bacteria, which disrupts the process.
• PIPE DAMAGE – Many chemical drain cleaners rely on heat generation to break down and remove clogs. This heat can weaken PVC pipes and corrode metal pipes, which can cause bursts.
• THEY DON’T ALWAYS WORK – Chemical drain cleaners don’t work on every clog, and when they fail, you might have to bail the chemical out of your pipes because letting it sit for too long increases the chance of damage.
• THEY’RE DANGEROUS – Chemical drain cleaners are highly toxic and can cause severe burns on your skin if you’re not careful. Also, failing to use these products in well-ventilated areas increases the risk of poisonous fumes burning your eyes or lungs.
