Get the Facts About Hydro-Jet Plumbing Services

If slow drains or constant drain clogs plague your home or business, your Lehigh Valley plumber may recommend hydro-jetting services. Designed for commercial and industrial businesses prone to grease-related sewage backups, hydro-jetting is also useful for stubborn residential plumbing problems.

As the name implies, hydro-jetting involves spraying high-powered streams of water through affected pipes to flush clogged or slow draining plumbing lines. Prior to completing your hydro-jetting service, an Elek SuperSTAR may perform a visual examination of problem pipes using a pipe inspection camera. The visual inspection not only pinpoints the source of the problem but also makes our team aware of your pipe configuration. A second camera inspection may be performed after hydro-jetting to assure that pipe clearing was successful.

Hydro-Jet Services for Business

As a restaurant, hotel or apartment owner, you understand that plumbing problems aren’t just a headache; they’re bad for business. Commercial plumbing systems handle large amounts of waste, and food service businesses are at continual risk for grease clogs. Hydro-jetting is particularly effective for grease and soap buildup, and may even save you dozens of smaller plumbing service calls.

Unfortunately, augers and drain snakes are not capable of providing advanced pipe cleaning, but hydro-jet machines are built to handle major blockages by cutting through layers of stubborn sludge. In most cases, hydro-jet drain cleaners also remove shrub and tree roots from sewer systems.

Features & Benefits of Elek Hydro-Jetting

Advantages of our Allentown, Easton and Bethlehem hydro-jetting services for home and business include:

• Safe, high-performance results. hydro-jetting is more efficient and accurate than other drain repair methods. A blast of water is sent through the drain and sewer pipes to loosen sludge and mineral buildup while removing roots, rocks and obstructing debris. There is generally no digging required, and hydro-jetting is safe for pipes.
• Sized to your system. Elek offers several hydro-jet sizes and selects the one that’s most effective for your plumbing system.
• Eco-friendly. Chemicals and solvents can be harmful to eyes and skin and may break down your pipes over time. There are no caustic chemicals needed for hydro-jetting. All that is required is water and a special nozzle.
• Long-term results. If the same plumbing problem keeps cropping up at your home or business, you need a more comprehensive solution. Snakes and augers may temporarily clean a stubborn clog, but a hydro-jet completely cleans the line and prevents chances of a relapse.
• Preventative maintenance. hydro-jetting is also a good way to avoid future plumbing problems before clogs occur. Consider being proactive and requesting hydro-jet service when you move into a new commercial or residential building.

Hydro-jetting is perfect for big or small jobs. When your home’s kitchen, bathroom or laundry room drain is poorly maintained and clogs go from bad to worse, Elek’s team of SuperSTARS deploy our trailer-mounted, 4,000-PSI jetter.
