Materials removed by hydro jetting

Hydro jetting utilizes highly pressurized water to scour pipes clean of:
‍

- Foreign Materials and Objects Blocking Flow

Can hydro jetting damage pipes?

Can hydro jetting damage pipes and sewers

Although the hydro jetter is extremely powerful, the integrity of sewer and storm lines will be maintained. In fact, the process of hydro jetting increases the lifespan of pipes by clearing out substances that cause corrosion.

However, if the pipes are in poor condition with severe deterioration, jetting can cause further damage. Trinity Subsurface, LLC offers UV cured-in-place pipe lining and sectional point repair to replace weakened pipe segments. Clean out your line and optimize pipe flow.

What pipe types can hydro jetting be used on?

pipe materials that hydro jetting is useful for

Trinity Subsurface's jetting equipment can remove clogs from pipes of varying widths. In addition, jetting can be applied to multiple pipe materials including:

- Concrete
- Steel
- Cast iron
- PVC
- Clay

Whatever the pipe size or material, we can accommodate your project site accordingly.

Why is hydro jetting the best choice for pipe cleaning?

the cost savings of hydro jetting

The process of jetting is executed exclusively inside the pipe without the need to dig up the pipeline or vacuum excavation. Oftentimes, commercial plumbing lines are located beneath the pavement or inside walls. Jetting reduces the costs of repairs, making it a very economical solution for clogged lines.

The approach to pipe jetting can be easily scaled to meet the needs of almost any commercial property. Trinity’s jetting equipment can remove clogs from pipes of varying widths.

Jetting recycles its water supply, reducing needless waste. This is a great option for commercial buildings that are situated near lakes, rivers, and streams.

Storm Drain Cleaning

Storm systems fail differently than sanitary ones. Sanitary lines clog with grease and roots. Storm lines fill with what the surface hands them: sediment after every rain, leaf litter every fall, sand and cinder after every winter, and whatever blows into an open grate.

The result is a line that looks fine until the first hard storm of the season, when a system sized for the rainfall cannot pass it because half the pipe is full of silt. Jetting cuts that material loose and moves it to a point where it can be removed.

On a storm system Trinity usually pairs jetting with CCTV, because sediment hides the thing that let it accumulate. A settled joint, a partially collapsed section or an offset that catches debris will keep refilling the line no matter how many times it is cleaned. Camera work after the cleaning is what tells you whether you have a maintenance item or a repair.

Commercial and Municipal Sewer Cleaning

High-pressure water scours the pipe wall clean of grease, roots, scale, sand and debris, restoring the full diameter rather than punching a channel through the blockage. Jetting works on concrete, clay, cast iron, steel and PVC, at a range of diameters.

Everything happens inside the pipe. Nothing is dug up. On commercial property where the line runs under pavement, under a loading dock or inside a wall, that is usually the difference between a maintenance visit and a construction project.

Jetting also extends the life of a line by removing the buildup that drives corrosion. The exception is pipe that is already badly deteriorated, where the pressure can do more harm than good. That is a judgment call best made with a camera first, and it is why Trinity also offers lining and sectional point repair when the pipe turns out to need more than a cleaning.

tHE BEST METHOD TO CLEAN OUT SEWERS and remove debris.

Experiencing sewer and storm line backups? Hydro jetting can clean out and optimize the flow of your sewers and pipes.

Prior to hydro jetting, Trinity Subsurface utilizes video pipe inspection methods like the robotic crawler to investigate the current condition of sanitary or storm lines.

Visuals of blockages cannot be detected if a camera crawler is unable to enter. Our team can clear out any obstacles to provide a full CCTV pipe inspection with hydro jetting.

A hydro jetting truck is a specialized sewer cleaning machine designed to clear blockages and debris.

The process of high velocity hydro jetting involves the turbulent action of water pumped through a uniquely designed nozzle. With pressures up to 2,000 psi, water from the nozzle blasts through pipeline blockages with ease.

The pressurized water flushes out debris lodged in the pipe. Everything from dirt to grease gets washed away. As the foreign materials are removed, the nozzle continues to traverse further down the storm/sanitary line until the pipe is clear.

The hydro jetting nozzle is propelled down the pipe, ridding the sewer of blockages more quickly than other methods. Any material clogging the line is broken apart by the forward spray and forced through the pipe.

Hydro jetting is a cost-effective and trenchless pipe cleaning method to restore sewers and pipes to their original flow capacity.

A robotic crawler is sent down the manhole to record the sewer or sanitary line condition. Many factors can cause deterioration in line condition such as:

  • Over usage
  • Product life of pipe materials
  • Root intrusion
  • Inflow and infiltration
  • Inflow and infiltration

While jetting can eliminate clogs at the source, the process also removes long-term buildup that can restrict water flow and form the basis of future issues. The difference in pipe flow after hydro jetting is documented in the VPI report.
