Why DIY Hydro Jetting Is Risky

UNINTENTIONAL DAMAGE TO PIPES

Hydro jet requires setting the right water pressure level, depending on the severity of the clog and the condition of the pipes. Failure to regulate the water pressure properly can damage the pipes and worsen the problem. Hydro jetting tree roots, scale, and other debris are best left to the pros since they comply with industry standards and use the correct techniques to do the job.

SAFETY HAZARDS

You run the risk of getting injured if you mishandle the hydro jet. After all, it’s easy for the hose to recoil back and cause accidents due to excessive pressure. On the other hand, professionals have the skills and equipment to perform  sewer jetting safely. They wear protective gear and isolate the work area to ensure no one gets hurt.

FAILURE TO DIAGNOSE AND ADDRESS THE REAL PROBLEM

Many homeowners just blatantly blast pressurized water into the pipes, not realizing they may be already corroded. This results in a burst pipe, necessitating major and expensive repairs.

That is why in-depth inspections are a must before hydro jetting services. We use a specialized camera to locate and identify the cause of the clog and other issues, as well as examine the condition of your pipes. This way, we can take the best approach to tackle the problem while keeping your pipes unscathed.
