3 Ways Your Old Home Can Benefit from High Pressure Jetting
Rachel Kline • September 23, 2019
Whether you live in a classic country farmhouse or an early 1900's row home in Downtown Lancaster, there is one thing many old homes have in common -- dated plumbing fixtures and cast iron pipes. Our crew is called to countless after hours emergencies involving backups and clogs in older homes, and most could be prevented with a simple high pressure cleaning. Keep reading to learn how you can save yourself the mess (and the money) when it comes to your dated pipes and fixtures, or contact us today to schedule service.
- High Pressure Jetting Can Remove Clogs & Debris from Pipes
If you live in an older home, your pipes inevitably have years of dirt, debris, food particles, hair, and soap scum buildup. Over time, pieces of debris can cause major clogs when loosened, or the build up can cause your sinks and showers to drain slowly. High pressure jetting can remove the build up and widen your pipe's diameter to its original width. Not only can this help you avoid a backup, it can keep things flushing and draining smoothly as you go about your daily water use. - Jetting Can Help with Grease Build Up on Cast Iron Pipes
If you do a lot of cooking or your home has a garbage disposal, it's likely your pipes have grease buildup. Grease hardens and causes major damage to old, cast iron pipes so it's especially important to schedule routine jetting if you own a restaurant with an old plumbing system. - High Pressure Cleaning Can Prolong the Life of Your Plumbing Fixtures & Pipes
Just like a septic system requires maintenance, your plumbing fixtures and pipes need attention to keep them operating efficiently. Build up can narrow your pipe's diameter causing sinks to drain slowly and toilets to fill only partially. When you call our crew to evaluate your home or restaurant's plumbing situation, we'll give you an honest evaluation and perform a thorough cleaning if necessary.
