Why Hydro Jetting Is the Best Solution for Tree Root Intrusion

Trees can make a huge difference in keeping your home comfortable and appealing. However, their roots spell bad news for your underground pipes. As they look for water and nutrients, they can enter through the tiny openings in your drain and sewer lines, causing blockages. This can lead to serious problems, such as backups and pipe failure.

While there are several solutions to this problem, hydro jetting is widely regarded as the best option. Sewer Solutions NW, your expert in drain cleaning in Bellevue, WA, shares why we recommend this method:

1. Highly Effective

Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to break up and remove the most stubborn roots, leaving your pipes clean and clear. Its water pressure reaches up to 4,000 PSI, which is powerful enough to eliminate tough clogs but safe enough to keep your pipes unharmed.

Unlike other methods, such as drain snaking or mechanical cutting, it does not leave any residue behind, which means clogs are unlikely to recur. Before the process, we inspect your pipes with a high-definition camera to locate the blockage and assess your line’s condition.

2. Cost-Effective

While other methods have a cheaper upfront cost, they don’t thoroughly clear tree roots. This leads to more frequent drain cleaning services. On the other hand, hydro jetting is a one-time solution that can eliminate blockages for good, saving you money in the long run.

3. Prepares Your Pipes for Repairs

Hydro jetting clears every corner of your pipeline, allowing our drain cleaning company to pinpoint other underlying issues and make the necessary fixes. Furthermore, if we need to perform trenchless repairs, the liner can adhere to the pipe surface better, addressing the flaws in your drain or sewer system.
