When Should You Schedule Hydro Jetting?
Timing the service is crucial for getting maximum benefit. Here are key scenarios:
Recurring or Widespread Issues
- If you keep clearing the same drain or you notice multiple fixtures slowing down, the problem may be in your main line or a larger branch. Hydro jetting can address this global issue. CCR Magazine+1
- If you’ve done quick fixes (snaking, chemicals) repeatedly and the problems keep returning, it’s a good time to step up to hydro jetting.
Pre-emptive or High-Usage Situations
- In commercial settings (restaurants, multi-unit dwellings, property management) heavy grease, high volume waste, and frequent use make hydro jetting a smart proactive move. Pro Jetting Solutions
- If your plumbing system has older lines, or you’re planning renovations/use changes (e.g., adding more bathrooms), cleaning out the pipes now can prevent future disruption.
Signs and Symptoms
- Slow drains that don’t respond to standard cleaning. Angi
- Foul drain smells that linger even after cleaning.
- Gurgling or bubbling noises in drains and toilets may signal deeper line issues.
- Backups or wastewater showing up where it shouldn’t.
How to Maintain Results After Hydro Jetting
Once a thorough cleaning is complete, you’ll want to keep those pipes running smoothly. Here are strategies:
Regular Monitoring
- Pay attention to how drains are performing: if they start slowing, it could signal re-buildup.
- Watch for any new smells, unusual noises, or backups.
Reduce Debris & Blockage Risk
- Avoid putting grease, fats, or heavy oil down kitchen drains when possible.
- Limit the use of chemical drain cleaners which may harm pipes or undermine thorough cleaning efforts.
- Use strainers in sinks to catch hair, food scraps, or debris.
Schedule Periodic Cleanings
- Depending on usage and pipe condition, consider scheduling follow-up jetting or maintenance cleaning at intervals. In high-use systems this might be annually; in residential use less often. 535 Plumbing
- If you notice early-warning signs (slowing drains, smells) don’t wait until a full blockage occurs.
Record Keeping & Professional Support
- Keep records of when the service was done, what was discovered (camera footage etc).
- If the technician found issues (roots, corrosion, weak spots), track those for future reference.
- Work with a service provider who can review the work and advise on next steps.
