What Is Water Jetting?
Water jetting is like a pressure washer for your plumbing system. It uses a high-powered stream of water—up to 4,000 PSI—to clear out grease, sludge, mineral buildup, tree roots, and even some hardened materials inside your pipes. Unlike snaking, which just pokes a hole through the clog, jetting clears the entire diameter of the pipe. Despite the power behind the equipment, jetting is surprisingly water-efficient. It uses about as much water as running a standard household shower.
How Jetting Works
- Video Inspection
We begin by using a sewer camera to inspect the condition of your pipes and identify any blockages or damage. - Setup & Nozzle Insertion
A specialized nozzle is inserted into the sewer line through an access point. - High-Pressure Cleaning
The jetter blasts high-pressure water through the pipe to dislodge and flush out the clog. - Post-Cleaning Inspection
We often perform a follow-up video inspection to make sure everything is fully cleared and flowing properly.
Why Choose Water Jetting?
- Clears Tough Clogs: Great for grease, roots, sludge, and mineral deposits.
- Thorough Cleaning: Restores the full flow of your pipes, not just a small opening.
- Safe & Chemical-Free: Just water—no caustic drain cleaners required.
- Eco-Friendly: Efficient water use and no environmental risk.
- Long-Lasting Results: Clean pipes stay clearer longer, reducing future problems.
Is Jetting Safe for My Pipes?
Jetting is safe for pipes made of PVC, clay tile, cast iron, and modern materials. However, it is not safe for Orangeburg pipes—a tar-paper product used in homes built during and after WWII. These older pipes can collapse under pressure. That’s why we always inspect your lines before starting any jetting work.
When Should You Schedule Jetting?
- Recurring or stubborn clogs
- Slow drains or gurgling sounds in pipes
- Foul odors from drains
- After a renovation or before selling your home
- Preventative maintenance, especially if you have older pipes or large trees nearby
What Types of Pipes Can We Jet?
Behle Inc. can jet sewer and drain pipes from 1" to 36" in diameter, making us a trusted provider for homes, businesses, farms, and municipalities. Whether you’re dealing with a residential sink or a city sewer main, we have the equipment and expertise to get it flowing.
How Long Does Water Jetting Take?
Water jetting is typically quick—most residential jobs take about two hours to complete. Larger or more complex systems may take a bit longer, depending on the extent of the buildup and length of the pipe. While jetting provides long-lasting results by thoroughly cleaning the interior of the pipe, it's important to note that some issues, like tree root intrusion, may eventually return. In these cases, we can recommend long-term solutions to help prevent recurring problems.
What Happens If Water Jetting Doesn’t Work?
In the rare event that jetting doesn't fully resolve the issue, such as when there's significant structural damage or a severe blockage, we’ll perform a camera inspection and recommend the appropriate repair. At Behle Inc., we handle every step of the process, from identifying the problem to delivering the right fix.
