Bearden Hydro Jetting

It is quite common for the drains leaving your home or business premises to become blocked, and when this happens, you could find that you are in danger of flooding every time you flush the toilet. Sometimes, the blockage can be shifted using a technique known as snaking, which requires a flexible metal rod to be inserted along the length of the drain. However, if this technique is not successful, it may be a sign that there is a more significant problem.

In order to shift stubborn blockages, where snaking and other methods have failed, hydro jetting is the answer. When you need a drain cleared fast, you should contact your local Bearden hydro jetting company as soon as possible.

What is Hydro Jetting?

Bearden hydro jetting is a technique that uses large amounts of water at high pressure to eliminate stubborn blockages from drains. The process is so effective that it can remove large quantities of debris from a drain in no time at all, including grease, mineral deposits and even tree roots and other debris.

The pressure of the water used during the jetting process is around 3,500 psi, and this is more than enough pressure to help to clear blockages and scour and clean the inside of a drain, allowing it to flow freely once again. The water pressure is so high, and the jet so fast, that it is common for the pump to use as much as 18 gallons of water every minute, and it is the combination of speed and volume of water that helps to clear the drain of unwanted blockages.

Most drains are designed to leave a building on a slight downward trajectory, but the jetting process involves sending high pressure jets of water in the opposite direction. This helps to shift difficult to remove blockages, yet still allows the water to flow freely from the drain when the blockage has been cleared.

Why Hydro Jetting in a Necessity

The problem with drainage systems, especially old ones, is that they can be easily blocked, and this can have a detrimental effect on the health of the people who reside or work in the vicinity of the blocked drain. When a drain becomes blocked it can cause toilets, washers and other appliances to flood and that water can be contaminated with bacteria and even raw sewage.

This is why at the first signs of a blocked drain, you need to contact a Bearden hydro jetting company at the earliest opportunity.
