What is Hydrojetting?

Hydrojetting machines are used to inject a high-pressured flow of water into the pipework in order to remove grease, limescale and other debris that’s accumulated over time on the interior surfaces of the pipe walls. Rather than using rods to force a hole through the build-up, hydrojetting removes the debris for a more comprehensive cleaning solution. .

How Does Hydrojetting Work?

To perform these pipe repairs, your plumber will insert a hose into the plumbing system and deliver a pressurized jet of water into the pipework.

The hose is connected to a specialized machine containing a water tank and is designed to be able to withstand the high pressure of the water running through it. .

The hydro jetting tool injects water to scour the pipes and dislodge debris which then moves down the pipes (aided by gravity) until it’s flushed out of the system. The plumber will have the expertise to assess and deliver the correct water pressure to solve the problem, according to the condition of the pipework.
