1. Hot Water Jetting is Effective and Versatile
- Hot water jetting is highly effective in removing stubborn blockages like grease, mineral deposits, tree roots and other debris that may be blocking your pipes.
- Hot water jetting in Ithaca, NY is great for various types of pipes, including residential plumbing, commercial sewer lines, and industrial pipes.
- Our equipment can be adjusted to accommodate different pipe sizes and materials, making it a versatile solution for both indoor and outdoor problems.
2. Hot Water Jetting is Great Preventative Maintenance
- Regular hot water jetting service can help prevent future plumbing issues by keeping the pipes clean and clear.
- Having a proactive approach can save you or your business from costly repairs and disruptions in the long run.
3. When it Comes to Frozen Pipes, Hot Water is Faster and Safer
- When pipes freeze, the water inside expands and can cause the pipe to burst, leading to significant water damage. By using hot water jetting, the high-pressure hot water can quickly thaw the ice blockage, allowing the water to flow freely again and preventing your pipes from bursting.
- Hot water jetting offers a safer alternative to using open flames or electrical heating devices to thaw frozen pipes. These traditional methods can pose fire hazards or damage the pipe due to rapid expansion caused by uneven heating. Hot water jetting provides a controlled and evenly distributed heat source, minimizing the risk of accidents and pipe damage.
4. Hot Water Equals a Better Clean
- In addition to thawing frozen pipes, hot water jetting can also help remove any debris or sediment that may have accumulated in the pipes. Frozen water can sometimes trap debris, causing further blockages once it thaws. Hot water jetting can flush out the ice and debris simultaneously and ensure that the pipes are clear and free-flowing.
