At Mr. Rooter, we are proud to introduce our highly advanced HydroScrub® Jetting technology, designed to clear pipes effectively with high-pressure water.
It’s a portable device that consists of a pressurized water tank and a high-pressure hose with a fitted nozzle. The cable can reach as far as 200 feet and clear clogs even in areas that are hard to reach. But the truly special part is the nozzle, which has many groundbreaking features. First, the front jet shoots water straight through the clog, during which your plumber will slowly increase the pressure to make sure serious obstructions are eliminated. This way, drainage can resume. But what about all that sludge and everything else that’s stuck to the pipe walls?
During the second round of jetting, your local drain technician will apply a different nozzle—one that has at least three rotating rear jets that shoot in all directions of the pipe. This is where Calgary hydro jetting gets exciting because it not only breaks through clogged pipes, but it also cleans the walls of sludge, blasts away mineral deposits, and debris, and cuts through stubborn tree roots. Even fats and oils are immediately dislodged from the walls, then liquefied and washed off, leaving behind clean, healthy pipes, free from years of accumulated bacteria and other dirt. The law of gravity will eventually direct the wastewater down the sewer line until it reaches the city sewer.
When it comes to hydro jetting, Calgary homeowners will get greater peace of mind knowing our local professionals know exactly what they are doing, from performing a detailed pipe inspection to locating the affected areas with the plumbing video inspection camera and cleaning everything out with our HydroScrub® Jetting equipment.
Our hydro jetting system can operate with psi levels ranging from 3500 to 4000, depending on the type of clog evident. Therefore, a preliminary plumbing inspection to determine your drain line’s health is crucial as your plumber will adjust the pressure based on your pipe’s type and condition.
Problems You Can Solve With Mr. Rooter’s Services for Hydro Jetting in calgary:
You can’t see the state of your buried pipes, but often the sink opening allows you to take a glimpse at the problems further down. Is an unpleasant odor wafting through the surface? Or do you see dark gunk stuck to the nearby pipe walls? If that’s the case, you can’t imagine how grim it looks further down the pipeline.
Here are some common problems that Mr. Rooter Plumbing can solve with hydro jetting in Calgary, AB:
Clogged Drains
Every household will experience a drain clog in one form or another, whether it’s a clogged shower drain or a clogged toilet. Often, these incidents are harmless and easily handled with either a plunger or a drain snake, which are useful household tools to dislodge soft blockages nearby.
But what if these stubborn blockages keep coming back? That’s a clear sign of an underlying issue. It could be a partial clog in the drains or even the sewer line, waiting for the right moment to strike. The sooner you call for hydro jet drain cleaning, the better your chances of saving yourself costly repairs. This way, your plumbers can help you prevent the dangers of a nasty sewer backup.
Backed-Up Floor Drain
If your floor drain connects to your sewer system, signs of clogs may start with slow draining, gurgling toilets, or clogged sinks, as well as other plumbing fixture clogs. If your attempt to unclog it with household remedies and plumbing snake fails, you may be dealing with issues in your sewer lateral. Hydro jetting will be the most effective method for sewer cleaning.
If you have a sump pump in your basement, your floor drain most likely connects to the sump pit. If a backup is evident, we highly recommend having your sump pump’s float switch and discharge pipe inspected as well.
Leaking Cleanout
The cleanout is a capped extension pipe that connects to your sewer lateral. It’s either situated in your basement, garage or outside your home. The ones located outside often have a heavy-duty brass cap. If it appears to be draining or leaking, we recommend calling your plumber right away because your drain issues might be related to a sewer line clog.
