Does your home have problems with clogs or noisy pipes? That could keep repeating itself until you get the proper fix. Sometimes drain snakes and flushing hot water doesn't always work. In that case, you should try hydro jet pipe cleaning instead. But how do you know that you need hydro jetting? Well, look for these signs.

Slow Drains

Cleaning utensils or vegetables in a sink that takes forever to drain water can be frustrating. Sadly, the issue won't go away anytime soon. Surprisingly, the problem might worsen by the day, and the plunger won't help. You could ask your plumber for a hydro jet pipe cleaning service in such cases. 

Frequent Clogs

Clogs are the main reason you have slow drains. So, if you have been dealing with sluggish drains for a long time, you definitely have nasty clogs. And while you might dislodge the clogs with a plunger or drain snake, they might keep recurring after some time. So, if you have been dealing with frequent clogs throughout the year, get a hydro jetting service. It's the only way to clean the grease and food particles from the pipe walls.

Noisy Plumbing

Noisy pipes can be frustrating and could indicate a problem within your plumbing system. However, you should get a plumber to check what's causing the noise. Maybe it's high water pressure, loose fittings, water hammer, or sludge build-up. And if the plumber identifies sludge build-up as the problem, you should pay for a hydro jetting service. In most cases, pipes with a blockage will produce gurgling noises. Sometimes the noises will come from multiple fixtures, an issue that can only be corrected by hydro jetting.

Old Pipes

Old pipes are vulnerable to blockages. Unfortunately, replacing the entire plumbing system can be too expensive. So, if your old pipes have become problematic, you could buy some time by hydro jetting them. Hydro jet pipe cleaning should clear any sediments that might have affected the performance of the pipes. At least you can rely on the old pipes for a bit longer before finally replacing them.

Smelly Drains

Have you noticed that your drains smell awful lately? Well, that could indicate you need a hydro jetting service. Drain pipes can become smelly and nasty, especially when bacteria try to break down the food remains. Blasting these pipes with high pressured water should eliminate the food remains and the bacteria. By doing so, the pipes will be back to smelling fresh again.
