Keep Your Septic Field Up & Running
Over time, dirt, grime, and debris can build up in your septic lines, causing blockages. Hydro-jetting can be an effective and affordable way to clear clogged septic lines. Call E-Z Plumbing Company Inc. to find out if this solution is right for your home or business.
How It Works
Hydro-jetting (sometimes called water jetting) involves injecting a high-pressure stream of water into septic lines. The force of the water can be anywhere from 5,000 psi for home systems to 35,000 psi for larger commercial systems. This water blasts away anything that might be clogging the lines, such as:
• Grease • Hair |
• Paper • Sand |
• Silt • Soap Build-Up |
Trust an Expert
Hydro-jetting is not always an effective solution to septic field problems, so it's important that you call an expert. If the header line leading from your house into the septic lines is clogged, hydro-jetting may be ideal. The solid piping can reliably handle the high pressure. On the other hand, if the outdoor septic lines are clogged, hydro-jetting can do more harm than good. The septic lines that create the septic field are not solid; they are perforated to allow sewage to seep out into the surrounding soil to be naturally filtered and treated. The high water pressure may stir up the soil and gravel near the perforations and bring more obstructions into the system. Hydro-jetting can — and should — be used not just as a last effort to save a failing septic system but as a first effort to prevent trouble.
