DRAIN CLEANING SUNSHINE COAST HYDRO JETTING

Major pipe blockages: When there is a significant blockage in a pipe, jet rodding is often the most effective solution. Major blockages can occur directly from the fixture (toilet, sink, basin, etc.), the drain of the fixture, or in the main sewer line. Jet rodding uses high-pressure water jets to blast away debris, such as tree roots, fatbergs, and other obstructions, that have built up and caused the blockage.

Unobstructed flow: The drain pipes and sewer pipes are the channels for removing waste water away from a property. It’s essential that these pipes remain clear at all times to ensure an unobstructed flow and prevent the inconvenience of backflow when amenities are used. Jet rodding helps maintain the smooth flow of water by clearing blockages that cause backups, flooding, and other issues.

Preventing backflow: When pipes become blocked, it can cause backflow, which is when water and sewage flow back into the fixtures instead of away from the property. This can cause significant damage to the property, and it can also be a health hazard. Jet rodding can prevent backflow by clearing blockages and ensuring that water flows freely through the pipes.

Regular maintenance: Regular drain cleaning can help prevent blockages from occurring in the first place. However, it’s usually not until a blockage occurs that a jet rodding plumber is booked to fix the problem. By scheduling regular maintenance and cleaning, you can prevent blockages from occurring and keep your pipes clear.

Efficient solution: Jet rodding is a modern, efficient way to clear a major blockage. It’s less time-consuming than using draining rods, snakes, and electric eels, and it can blast away even the toughest obstructions quickly and easily. The high pressure of jet rodding clears a blockage in an efficient manner, making it an ideal solution for property owners who want to resolve blockages quickly and minimize downtime.

While plumbers are experts in diagnosing and fixing plumbing issues, a hydro excavation truck offers some unique advantages when it comes to dealing with blocked drains and sewers.

Here are some points of difference:

Efficiency: A hydro excavation truck can remove large quantities of debris quickly and efficiently. It can dig through soil and sediment, and even remove tree roots that may be causing the blockage. This can be done in a matter of minutes or hours, depending on the extent of the blockage, whereas a plumber may take longer to clear the same blockage using traditional methods.

Precision: A hydro excavation truck can excavate precisely where needed, reducing the risk of damage to surrounding pipes, utility lines, or other structures. With its high-pressure water system, it can blast through the toughest of blockages without damaging the pipes, and can easily reach into hard-to-reach areas. Plumbers, on the other hand, may need to use invasive methods to diagnose and clear blockages, which can lead to damage.

Safety: A hydro excavation truck is a safer option when it comes to excavating around buried utilities and pipelines. Plumbers may need to use heavy equipment and machinery, which can cause damage to underground structures and cause safety hazards. With hydro excavation, the high-pressure water system is used to dig, reducing the risk of damage or accidents.

Cost-effective: While hiring a hydro excavation truck may initially seem more expensive than hiring a plumber, it can actually be a more cost-effective solution in the long run. Hydro excavation can remove the blockage quickly and efficiently, reducing the need for follow-up repairs and maintenance, which can be costly. Additionally, the precision of the excavation can reduce the need for extensive repairs to surrounding structures, further reducing costs.

Environmentally friendly: Hydro excavation is an environmentally friendly method of excavation, as it does not use harmful chemicals or produce harmful waste. The process is entirely water-based and uses a vacuum system to collect the debris, making it a more sustainable option compared to traditional excavation methods. Plumbers may need to use harsh chemicals to clear blockages, which can be harmful to the environment and lead to additional costs for waste disposal.
