Advanced Hydro-Jetting Solutions in Birmingham

While minor clogs can be fixed with standard drain cleaning, stubborn obstructions deep within the plumbing need professional equipment. Contact Norrell Service Experts to schedule hydro jetting in Birmingham.

Understanding Hydro-Jetting Services

Hydro jetting is a specialized plumbing service for clearing severely clogged drains or plumbing. By utilizing a highly pressurized stream of water to blast away stubborn grease, tree roots and other debris, you can safeguard every part of your home’s plumbing. Professional hydro-jetting service is reliable and eco-friendly, with no harsh chemicals.

The key piece of equipment used for hydro jetting is the aptly named hydro-jet machine, which creates the intense water pressure needed for a deep clean. A thick hose with a nozzle designed for a consistent spray of the water is inserted into the plumbing. With multiple holes for the streams of water, the nozzle blasts it in all directions, guaranteeing that the entire interior surface of the pipe is cleaned.

But before a professional plumber begins cleaning, hydro jetting must first begin with an inspection of the entire plumbing system, using a small camera. This way, we can pinpoint the precise location of the clog and review the overall shape the pipes are in. Once problem sections are identified, we’ll gradually snake the hose along the piping, breaking down the blockage and washing the pipe walls. This helps prevent future clogs while keeping everything flowing smoothly.

Hydro jetting is a great option for proactive upkeep or to clear large, stubborn clogs that conventional methods can’t handle. With regularly scheduled hydro-jetting service, you could even extend the life of your plumbing!

When Is It Time for Hydro-Jetting Service?

When standard drain cleaning doesn’t work, or when clogs are deeply stuck in the plumbing, hydro-jetting could be the best option.

  • Frequent blockages: If you’re dealing with clogs more frequently than you think you should, it is a good idea to arrange a plumbing inspection to find out if you need hydro jetting.
  • Standing or pooling water: Slow-moving water in sinks, tubs or out of showerheads is a sign of some kind of blockage inside the pipes.
  • Foul odors: Grease, pieces of food and mildew can accumulate and grow inside the pipes. If it gets bad enough, you should be able to smell the clog.
  • Sewer backflow: Backflow is a critical problem that should be resolved as soon as possible with immediate service. Large tree roots or heavy clay soil are the usual suspects of clogs in the water or sewer lines.
  • Gurgling or bubbling sounds: Constant noises such as gurgling or bubbling after you flush the toilet or use a sink can be caused by trapped air.
  • Several drains are clogged: When several drains are having problems, there may be a larger problem in your main sewer line. Hydro jetting is one of the best solutions for sewer line clogs.
