How Does Hydro Jetting Clean Sewer Lines?
Hydro jetting is a highly effective method for cleaning sewer lines using pressurized water. Hydro jetting machines generate incredibly high water pressure, typically ranging from 1,500 to 4,000 pounds per square inch (psi) or more. This mechanism is powerful. For example, a 4-inch sewer pipe that has narrowed to 2 inches due to scale and debris can be brought back to its full 4-inch diameter. Hydro jetting can remove up to 99% of blockages, debris and buildup in sewer lines.
