WHAT IS HYDRO JETTING?
Hydro jetting blasts high pressurized water through drains in order to clear out clogged sewage lines. Hydro jetting is a very effective method to use in order to clear lines and should be done by a plumbing specialist as they are utilizing high pressure water, which if not done correctly and inspected before hand could potentially cause damage to your lines.
Preventative maintenance is highly recommended and frequently used in commercial businesses especially restaurants, which are especially susaptible to plumbing issues with the amount of grease and food particles that constantly build up. Having your drains hydro jetted regularly ensures that day to day operations run smoothly.
