Hydro Water Jet Service

Hydro Water Jet Service is another method of cleaning a drain by sending a high pressure water blast through your pipes.

Sometimes when a typical electric snake doesn’t work, the hydro water system will send enough pressure to clear the blockage.

• Also, if you have a Jacuzzi, hot tub, or even an in ground swimming pool, you might need the hydro water jet service. The service offers a way to clean out debris that can accumulate in the drains. If left to build up, the drains can become clogged.

• Using a “snake” will only solve the problem for a short time. If you use the hydro water jet service, you can rest assured that most of the debris, if not all of it, will be removed and that the drains will work properly.

• This type of service should be used at least once every few years, right before you open the in ground pool, the hot tub, and Jacuzzi after the cooler months.
  
  
• The way the hydro water jet service works is that the experienced plumber will use a high-pressure water system to blast away the debris from inside the drains.

• If you feel you want to try the hydro water jet service, call a plumber and request see if they have invested in the equipment to offer this service.
