Hydro-Jetting Keeps Your Sewer Line Open

hydro jetting

Hydro jetting is one of the most efficient ways of doing preventive maintenance to your personal sewer line, the hydro jet uses a high pressure water that could reach up to 4000 PSI. This high pressure water has an attachment on the front of the equipment that has strategic aim and makes sure that the walls of the sewer line are cleared of all debris, and once the wall is cleared of all its debris,  the attachment also has a water distribution in the front which pushes everything that falls from the walls of the pipe forward to the main sewer line which ensures that you have a more free-flowing experience. Hydro jetting also remove root intrusion inside the piping.

A lot of people don’t realize that once a pipe has been inside the ground for so many years it is dried out of its moisture and things begin to go wrong, hence we have root intrusion. To educate you, roots only want water and nutrients, if they could find it they will follow any type of source or opening that is available. And when you have dried out pipes brittle and worn down they will leak the sewage water into the soil and the trees can smell that water and waste. Watch the trees smell that water touching the dirt Underground they send the roots to the broken source to gather as much water as possible. The Roots find the break in the pipe, it enters the pipe by growing stage-by-stage, and once it is inside the pipe it gets stronger and stronger and stronger. And the stronger it gets the bigger it gets the more obstruction that would be in the pipe, this would cause a blockage for sure once it reaches a certain Mass. The photo that you see attached to this post is a commercial grade sewer line and this is one type of buildup, as you can see there has to be a combination of grease, dirt ,film and Etc… Preventive Maintenance is the way to go.

Why Are My Floor’s Hot?

Today in sunny Lancaster California we got a call from a customer complaining about her kitchen floor feeling as if there was a stove of some sort underneath the concrete. The customer also informed us that there was steam almost a humid feeling  inside the entire home, so someone was dispatched immediately to go assess the issue. The technician had done all the necessary testing to diagnose properly, and found that the customer had what we call in this profession of Plumbing a slab leak.

So the customers heart dropped to find out what had to be done in order to fix the slab leak. We let her know that the pipe could possibly be rerouted it or she could actually repipe the whole entire house and get the pipes out of the ground completely, or just do like what’s inside the picture above and repair the pipe that is actually damaged. Most customers go with the direct repair of the piping which is like what’s inside the picture above, but my professional opinion is that all the piping that is inside the ground has been they’re the same amount of time the pipe that is damage has been there. So I would suggest repiping the entire home, don’t be intimidated by the process of repiping, trust me being in the business for as long as I have it’s not that bad when repairing walls or whatever has to be done to repipe the home. This is single-handedly one of the best things you could ever invest in when purchasing a home or owning a home.

To me it’s another way of saying the piping system starts new with you, you actually know the date that all brand new piping was installed into your property. If you could do that with every major component in your home you will have pleasant, less stressful, days to come in your home. This is what we call here at Daniel Plumbing And Maintenance preventive maintenance as well.

Sewer Blockage

Today you will find out why certain things happen inside your home or place of business. Have you ever stood at the kitchen sink while you were washing dishes? While the water was draining down the sink drain you noticed water coming back up the hole the water was going down. Then 9 out of 10 times there is what we call a sewer blockage somewhere inside your pipes.

 

Or what if you were taking a shower and while you were bathing and washing yourself  you noticed as the water exit down the shower drain water is not going down, it’s actually coming back out and filling up the tub or shower. This is just an example of another type of sewer blockage and we suggest putting a rush on clearing that line for that actual fixture.

Repipe Your Home With Pex Pipe

Best Thing For Your Home
Repiping your home could be the one best thing you could do to it. You know that once repiped, everything is brand new and you are bypassing old mistakes, old leaks, water damage and future slab leaks. You will instantly have better water pressure to your home, and also cleaner water to your home. We recommend Aqua-pex pipe, which doesn’t cause corrosion, cheaper than copper and you get more time for your money.

Repipe Your Home With Pex Pipe
Pex Pipe Advantages
PEX (or crosslinked polyethylene) was introduced in the US around 1980 and is often seen in radiant heat flooring applications, but has now become commonplace for repiping and plumbing repairs.

PEX popularity can be attributed to many factors, includingcost, flexibility, resistance to scale and chlorine, and fast installation with fewer connections and fittings. PEX is also more efficient as it doesn’t lose heat like a copper pipe will. Although PEX is not suitable for use outside, it is much more resistant to freezing temperatures and bursting.

Pex is color coded based on water temperature (red is hot, blue is cold, white is any) which is a handy feature.

Installing Pex Tubing can be done with cinch or crimp rings and a cinch clamp tool or compression or stab-in fittings, either technique is easier and less toxic than sweating copper. Another thing to consider when making the ultimate decision is during a Earth Shift/Earthquake the Pex pipe will move without damage more than copper will. If copper moves in the exact same way as above there would be a leak if not a flood immediately. Pex is definetly the future.

What is PEX pipe made of?
Almost all PEX used for pipe and tubing is made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE). PEX contains cross-linked bonds in the polymer structure, changing the thermoplastic to a thermoset. Cross-linking is accomplished during or after the extrusion of the tubing.
