Frequently Asked Questions
What is hydro jetting, and how does it work?
Hydro jetting is a powerful drain cleaning method that uses high-pressure water to remove blockages, debris, and buildup from your pipes. It works by sending water at high pressure through specialized nozzles, which thoroughly cleans the interior walls of your pipes, restoring optimal flow.
When should I consider hydro jetting for my Centennial home?
You should consider hydro jetting if you experience frequent clogs, slow drains, or recurring backups. It is also an effective solution for clearing stubborn blockages caused by grease, tree roots, or mineral deposits that other methods may not fully remove.
Is hydro jetting safe for all types of pipes?
Hydro jetting is generally safe for most modern plumbing systems, including PVC, copper, and steel pipes. However, it may not be suitable for very old or damaged pipes. High 5 Plumbing, Heating & Cooling conducts a thorough inspection before performing hydro jetting to ensure it’s the right solution for your home.
How does hydro jetting compare to traditional snaking methods?
