Don’t Fret, Call in the Jet
When drain clogs prove too large, compact, or ingrained for most plumbing tools, Service Minds Benjamin Franklin calls in the big guns. When snakes, rooters, and cable machines won’t do the trick, our hydro jetting process shows severe drain and sewer main blockages who’s boss by aiming ultra-high-pressure water streams directly at the problem.
Here in Ocala, where high humidity, hard water, and other factors exacerbate drain clogs, hydro jetting proves successful for homes and businesses, both to clear out years of built-up grease, trash, and tree root intrusions and as part of a maintenance program that keeps major plumbing problems at bay.
Hydro jetting is both immensely effective and environmentally friendly nature, using water only — no solvents, soaps, chemicals, brute force that can damage pipes or the natural surroundings.
How Hydro Jetting Works
Service Minds Benjamin Franklin’s hydro jetting machinery and experts can clear virtually any drains and pipes, from 2-inch to 72-inch diameters. In severe cases, hydro jetting may provide the final option for cleaning drain lines, but we use it most often on main and lateral sewer lateral lines.
Our hydro jetting unit uses highly pressurized water (3,000–4,000 PSI) to blast away built-up gunk, leaving your pipes cleaner than traditional methods could ever dream of achieving.
The service’s cost varies depending on pipe length and accessibility and clog severity. But it’s usually cheaper than other methods because we don’t have to dig up your yard and replace whole sections of blocked pipe. Set a hydro jetting appointment to enjoy pristine pipes for up to two years.
Trust Service Minds Benjamin Franklin Plumbing to provide high-quality hydro jetting services that address their plumbing needs while minimizing disruption and inconvenience.
When the Jet’s Your Best Bet
Service Minds Benjamin Franklin encourages you to remain pipe and drain vigilant and to take appropriate action act before small issues turn into big hassles. Here’s when to call us for a drain inspection and advice on how to unclutter your drains:
- Multiple Slow-Draining Fixtures: We can probably solve a single slow drain with a localized solution. But when several drains in your home — in the kitchen, bathroom, or laundry room – drain slowly or back up, it could be because of a larger blockage within the main sewer line downstream.
- Noisy Pipes: When blockages force air and water to move around them your pipes make gurgling, hissing, or other strange noises. These sounds tell you there’s buildup or tree roots in the pipes creating a partial obstruction. Without intervention, it’s only a matter of time until the drain becomes completely clogged.
- Recurring Clogs: If you keep unclogging the same drain the underlying issue may lie much deeper in your plumbing system. It indicates that the treatments never completely remove the clog, and the remnants continue to collect particles that build it back up.
- Stinky Drains: When waste finds its escape route blocked, water stagnates and organic materials decompose in pipes and drains, creating a foul-smelling mess. Sewer gases are not only unpleasant, but they also pose potential health risks.
- Unusually Lush Lawn: Nutrients leaking from your sewer line feed the grass above, creating extra-green and fast-growing patches in your yard. Tree roots penetrating the pipes are a likely source of the trouble, and the tangle of roots also block the flow of sewage to your septic tank or the municipal wastewater facility.
- Sewage Backups: Sewage backing up into your sinks, tubs, or toilets befoul your home and create an emergency that requires immediate attention. The result of severe blockages in the main sewer line that stop waste from flowing out of your home, backed-up sewage can contain viruses, bacteria, and other contaminants.
