Hydro-jetting

Hydro-jetting is effective against almost any clog, and provides the most reliable and effective technique for professional removal of stubborn blockages such as:

Fat, grease and oil blockage 

Heavy duty clogs composed of hair, toothpaste, soap and scum

Severe blockage due to food debris

Tree and shrub root invasion of pipe

Hydro-jetting provides the most effective solution for home, commercial, and municipal drain and sewer cleaning.

Professional Treatment

In severe clogs, only a plumber’s service can effectively clear the pipe. Severely clogged drains and sewer pipes call for professional treatment with hydro-jetting.

Hydro-jetting is similar to power-washing, though for clogged pipes. Cutting through clogs with highly pressurized water, Benjamin Franklin Plumbing’s plumbers in Fort Worth use hydro-jetting to remove set-in blockages with ease, safely cleaning the pipe to its walls for fast, efficient drainage and odor free drains. The process uses only water and is entirely chemical free.

Hydro-jetting is the gold standard for commercial drain and sewer cleaning applications. The food and beverage industry experience heavy deposits of grease and food in drains, and are especially well served by routine hydro-jetting. Any restaurant owner or manager can tell you, that hydro-jetting is the only fully effective method for removing grease, fats, and oils from facility drains and sewer pipe, providing pipes that stay clean for a longer period of time. 

The Dangers of Sewer Back-up

Sewer back-up may occur suddenly, causing damage to your home, and the risk of disease to your family. Common signs of a developing sewer clog include:

Sewer back-up from a drain

Gurgling drains. For example, if doing laundry causes the toilet drain to percolate it can be a red flag warning of a clogging sewer pipe.

Clogs can occur in the main sewer line, or any of the secondary lines. When problems occur throughout the home, there will be an issue in the main sewer line. If the problem relates to a secondary line, the issue will be confined to that location only. Due to the risk of disease, only trust sewer repair to licensed plumbers in Fort Worth.

Maintenance and Repair

Allowing clogs to develop into full blown blockage can result in burst pipes, or can result in back-up. Hydro-jetting will remove clogs and blockage, though if pipe damage is present, repair will be necessary by a licensed plumber.

The Video Pipe Inspection

A video pipe inspection provides the plumber a clear view of the problem, pipe condition and is performed with a small waterproof, high-resolution camera with light is attached to a flexible fiber optic cable, and a monitor. Common causes of drain and/or sewer issues the video pipe inspection can reveal include:  

Blockage due to tree roots or other objects that are restricting the flow 

Cracked, crushed, collapsed or broken pipe requiring repair or replacement

Offset pipe occurs due to shifting soil, settling, and other causes

Pipe corrosion and other effects of age causing collapse and restriction of flow

Type of clog

Bellied pipe occurs when the ground sinks, resulting in a swag where paper, waste and other debris can collect

Broken joint seals allow leakage into the surrounding soil
