This is in some contrast to the plumber's snakes, which can clear a path but often leave parts of the pipes totally untouched. Jetters can even deliver enough cutting power to blast away intrusive tree roots and dirt encroaching into underground pipes. While the nozzles at the end of the reinforced hoses spray clean the surrounding area, they also shoot water backwards, providing a thrust and rocketing the cleaning nozzle further down the drain, pulling the hose behind it.
Hydro jetting is ideal for situations where build up on the interiors of plumbing is considerable and extensive. Home drains are susceptible to slowing blockage of many kinds, all of which are easily and thoroughly handled by drain jetting. Whether the blockage is typical grease and oil, more uncommon bacterial build up, or the locally problematic accumulation of mineral deposits from hard water--drain jetting completely rinses the interiors of pipes.
