Hydro Jetting & Hydro Flushing (same thing)

One of the reasons why aging septic tanks age faster is because of debris and drain clogs that have not been removed by cleaning services like snaking or electric cable machines. The same clogs are causing back ups in your sinks. Hydro jetting is one way to clean these remaining bulks of debris in the drains to flush it out of the septic tank system.

What is hydro jetting?

Hydro jetting is one way to keep that aging septic tank working for few more years. It helps maintain your aging septic tank by removing the debris and other clogs that your drain has accumulated over time. Hydro jetting is one of the most effective ways of maintaining an aging septic tank as it can remove accumulated dirt that cannot be done by other septic tank services like snaking. Highly trained individuals facilitate hydro jetting, as this service requires heavy equipments for pressure.

How does it work?

Hydro jetting works by exerting pressure at 1600 to 4000 pounds per minute on your drains to remove the clogs and other debris that cannot be removed by simply snaking it or by other electric cable machines.

Hydro jetting tools are inserted in the pipes of your drains. Through the heavy pressure, the tool moves forward and removes all sands, grease and other clogs in the pipes. There are two pressures that work here – one that fires forward and another firing backwards. The latter plays heavier role, as it is not only responsible for the tool’s forward movement, but also in breaking the clogs and debris at the walls of the drainpipes.

Clogs are not the only foreign materials that can be removed through hydro jetting. When used in a residential setting, the strong pressure of the tool removes as well the tree roots that have crossed its boundaries toward your drainpipes.

There are drainpipes problems that cannot just removed by simple snaking or using electric machine. If your pipe has not been cleaned for years and you have been bothered by back ups whenever you are using the sinks, you might need to hydro jet your drains to remove those clogs that it accumulated through the years.

Aging Septic Systems: Tips to Lengthen Septic Tank Life

A septic system usually has a span of 20 years or so. But this can be drastically extended for up to 30 or even 40 years, depending on how you take care of your aging septic system. Here are some helpful tips to maximize your aging septic systems.

  • Make sure rainwater stays out of your drain field. You need to make sure that your drain field is not soaked with rainwater. Otherwise, the capacity of your drain field to react on wastes from your sink will diminish, if not totally fail in the long run.
  • Make sure that trees around your house will not hinder your aging septic system. Trees growing around the house may also affect the aging septic system’s performance. The roots may creep around the drain and cause blockage to the flow of liquid wastes. Worse, if left for years, these roots may even break the drainpipes causing more damages, as you would have to replace the entire pipe.
  • Do not throw unnecessary materials into the toilet. It has been a misnomer, if not a common practice in most households to just throw anything and everything in the toilet and flush it out. Remember, toilets are not garbage. Throwing garbage in the toilet will only shorten your already aging septic system.
  • Avoid pouring oily substances in the sink. Another thing that causes huge damage to the aging septic system are the oily substances poured into it. Accumulated greases solidify and block the drains. When this goes on for years, it would be difficult to clear it with simple snaking.
  • Regular cleaning service. Now the most important part in maintaining your aging septic system is its regular clearing and cleaning. Ideally, your septic tanks have to be pumped every three to six years. Doing it regularly will prevent the accumulation of debris and other clogs that become more and more difficult to remove through the years. Never wait for your aging septic system to be clogged before having it pumped and clean.

Aging septic systems’ lifespan may be extended. With the right use of your septic system, you can be spared for another decade from replacing the entire system.
