You may have heard of hydro jetting. It’s a form of drain cleaning that your plumber may recommend in some circumstances. While most homeowners experience a drain clog at some point, frequent clogs are an indication that there’s a problem–and that problem is usually due to lots of clog-forming debris trapped in the pipes. In such cases, your plumber may advise you to have hydro jetting service. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Prescott offers a full range of professional plumbing solutions.

Hydro Jetting Is Cost Effective
We understand that it’s generally not convenient for our customers to call a plumbing expert to visit their home. We get it! We’re not thrilled about calling in HVAC pros or electricians to our homes. However, when you have a drain clog, we can solve the problem quickly and without damaging your pipes. If you’ve begun to experience lots of clogs and are making what seem to be routine calls to the plumber, that’s a cause for concern. Those service calls can add up.
In many cases, the problem is that there is debris like stubborn grease trapped in the line. While snaking the drain can open up the pipe, the clog can reform if all the debris isn’t removed. That’s where hydro jetting comes in. We wash powerful jets of water through your drains to remove that stubborn debris. The result is fewer clogs–and fewer service calls.
Hydro Jetting Is Safe
Unlike commercial drain cleaners that are not safe for plumbing systems–and certainly not safe to use repeatedly, hydro jetting is a safe way to clean your drains. It’s also quite versatile. You can safely use hydro jetting for pipes made of cast iron, clay, resin, steel, copper, PVC, and cement. Depending on the condition of your pipes, however, your plumber might hesitate to recommend hydro jetting. Fragile pipes that are brittle and in a fragile condition may not be able to withstand the water pressure. However, hydro jetting is frequently used as a means to clean all types of drain systems.
