What Is Septic Hydro Jetting?

Hydro jetting or water jetting uses high-pressure water streams to thoroughly clean and clear your septic system, removing stubborn clogs and buildup that conventional methods might miss. 

When Do You Need Septic Hydro Jetting?

• Frequent Backups: If water is backing up into your home, it’s a clear sign that your septic system needs immediate attention.
• Slow Drains: Persistent slow drains in sinks, toilets, or showers can indicate blockages within your septic lines.
• Unpleasant Odors: Foul smells around your property may suggest that waste is not flowing properly, requiring a thorough cleaning.

Benefits of Hydro Jetting vs. Conventional Septic System Cleaning

When faced with a septic system clog, you have multiple options. While conventional auger or drain snake cleaning is common, hydro jetting offers several superior advantages:

• Thorough Cleaning: Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to remove all types of blockages, including grease, sludge, and invasive tree roots.
• Long-Lasting Results: By completely clearing the pipes, hydro jetting reduces the likelihood of future clogs and extends the lifespan of your septic system.
• Eco-Friendly: Hydro jetting uses only water, making it a more environmentally friendly option compared to chemical cleaners.
• Cost-Effective: Although hydro jetting may have a higher upfront cost, its efficiency and longevity often result in lower overall maintenance expenses.

How Often Should You Hydro Jet Your Septic Tank?

• Regular Maintenance: For optimal performance, cleaning your septic system every 3 to 5 years can prevent buildup and ensure everything flows smoothly.
• When There’s an Issue: If you notice any signs of trouble—like backups, slow drains, or unusual odors—don’t wait. We offer emergency septic tank pumping and hydro jetting services.

Can Hydro Jetting Damage Old Pipes?

Yes, it’s important to acknowledge that high-pressure jets can potentially damage old or fragile pipes. This is why hydrojetting (or sewer jetting) should never be attempted as a DIY project. We also require property owners to have diagrams of their septic system before we attempt it.

Can You Use a Hydro Jetter on Concrete Pipes?

Unfortunately, hydro jetting is not recommended for septic systems that use concrete pipes. Concrete pipes are more prone to cracking under high pressure than plastic pipes, leading to costly repairs and more serious damage. If your septic system uses concrete pipes, call us for recommendations on alternative cleaning methods to maintain your system.
