If the pipes in your home are draining particularly slowly, even after store-bought drain cleaners, drain snakes, or other at-home methods, you likely have a bigger problem on your hands. If this is the case, your sewer line is probably clogged with either tree roots, build-ups, foreign obstructions, or something else, and will require hydro jetting to clear.
If you are noticing odd noises coming from your plumbing such as gurgling, banging, or really any noises at all, this is a key indicator that your pipes are clogged and in need of hydro jetting. Many times when something is lodged inside your pipe, it will make noise when water flushes through it. If you hear random noises like these, you will need help from our experts to get your sewer line pipe back in top-tier shape!
If your toilets, bathtubs, kitchen and bathroom sinks are emitting a suspicious odor, your drains are probably in desperate need of hydro jetting services! When drains start to smell it’s usually because there is a build-up in them causing the odor to travel up the pipe and into your home.
If there is sewage backing up into your sinks or bathtubs, you need to call us as soon as possible. Not only is this very unsanitary, but it’s clear evidence your pipes are in need of professional hydro jetting services. Neglecting to properly clear your clogged drains can result in disaster, like your sewer line breaking.
Lastly, if your monthly water bill has randomly increased out of nowhere, and you are noticing any of the aforementioned signs, call us right away. Increased water bills are a common side-effect of clogged sewer lines and drains. Hydro jetting is generally the best and most efficient way to clear those drains and lower your utility bill back to its normal cost.
Hydro jetting is a powerful, professional drain cleaning method that uses high-pressure water jets to remove grease, sludge, mineral buildup, and even tree roots from your pipes. Fall is the perfect time for Essig to give your plumbing a deep cleaning, as leaves, dirt, and seasonal debris can wash into your drains, increasing the risk of clogs. Clearing blockages now helps prevent winter backups, when freezing temperatures can make clogs worse and lead to costly repairs.
Absolutely! Hydro jetting is a powerful and effective way to clear tree roots, which are one of the most common causes of sewer line blockages. The high-pressure water jets cut through and flush out intrusive roots without damaging your pipes, restoring proper flow. If the root invasion is severe, additional treatments—like pipe relining or root inhibitors—may be necessary. During your inspection, your Essig professional will assess your pipes and recommend the best long-term solution to keep your plumbing in top shape.
Absolutely! If you’ve noticed any foul smells coming from your drains, it’s likely due to bacteria, grease, food debris, or buildup stuck in your pipes. Hydro jetting deep cleans your plumbing, blasting away any gunk and residue that causes odors, leaving your drains fresh and odor-free. Don’t let bad smells linger—call (610) 215-9512 today to schedule a hydro jetting service and enjoy clean, fresh-flowing pipes!
Drain snaking is great for breaking up minor clogs, but it doesn’t fully clear out buildup inside your pipes. Hydro jetting goes a step further, using high-pressure water to flush away grease, sludge, and debris, restoring full flow and helping to prevent future blockages. If you’re dealing with frequent clogs or slow drains, hydro jetting offers a more thorough and long-lasting solution.
Yes! Hydro jetting is safe for most modern and well-maintained pipes, including PVC, copper, and cast iron. However, older or fragile pipes should undergo a professional inspection to ensure they can handle the high-pressure cleaning process. Fall is a great time for this service, as it’s the perfect season to tackle any potential plumbing issues before the colder months arrive. A certified Essig technician will assess your plumbing and recommend the best solution for your home, ensuring everything is ready for the winter season.
