Jetter Cleaning Tips & Recommendations

With over 30 years of experience in the plumbing and drainage industry, we’ve gathered essential tips and tricks to maintain clear and efficient drainage systems using jetter cleaning.

Regular Cleaning

Periodically use jetter cleaning to clear out any blockages, accumulated debris, or sediments in your drainage systems. Regular cleaning ensures smooth flow and reduces the risk of major blockages.

 

Avoid Dumping Grease

Avoid pouring grease or oil down the drains. Over time, they can solidify and cause blockages. Jetter cleaning can help clear such obstructions, but prevention is key.

 

Tree Root Intrusion

Be aware of tree roots infiltrating your drainage systems. Jetter cleaning can help clear out these intrusions and restore the flow.

 

 

Use Strainers

Use strainers in sinks to prevent large particles and debris from going down the drain, reducing the need for frequent jetter cleaning.

 

 

Avoid Chemical Cleaners

Avoid using harsh chemical drain cleaners as they can damage your pipes. Instead, opt for jetter cleaning for a safer and more effective solution.

 

 

Know Your System

Understanding the layout and material of your drainage system can help in determining the frequency and type of jetter cleaning required.
