How Hydro Jetting Protects Older Geneva Plumbing Systems

Hydro jetting acts as a form of preventative maintenance for older plumbing systems by clearing out the gunk that stresses older systems.

When old pipes have a buildup of scale, grease, hair, and/or debris that is left untreated it narrows the effective diameter of the pipe, increasing pressure and friction on pipe walls. The result is a rough surface that catches more particulate passing by, leading to more frequent clogs and backups over time. Additionally, it can increases corrosion (on corrosion-susceptible pipe materials like cast iron), which accelerates its deterioration. Staying on top of removing buildup ensures that the pipes will stay functional longer without the need for chemical cleaners, which can thin and weaken pipes over time.

If your home or business has older pipes, one of the best things you can do to keep your plumbing working well and extend its life is to get a camera inspection and hydro jet clean out done periodically.

Keep in mind though that hydro jetting cannot be done on already damaged pipes. Therefore, it’s best to stay on top of cleaning out your pipes before they get too old and start failing because by that point, you’ll need to start thinking about replacing them instead of maintaining them, and that’s far more costly.
