High Pressure Water Jetting

When Commercial Piping Systems Engineers think of cleaning their pipes, a poly pig might be the first thing to come to mind, and often it's the right tool.

Sometimes, a High Pressure Water Jet system is the better tool for the job, or the two can be used in stages to achieve the desired result.

High Pressure Jetting is a very efficient way to clear blockages from pipes, regardless of pipe size, when the proper flow and pressure are used. Debris, including tree roots, sewage sludge, cooking or automotive grease, lime scale and more can be jetted loose to be flushed out with a high pressure system.

High Pressure Water Jetting as a form of preventative maintenance can save you money! Shutdowns and failures are inconvenient and costly. Even without complete failure, running a system with reduced flow means higher energy costs to run your pumps, and higher repair costs to maintain these pumps that are working harder than necessary.

Your pipe cleaning professional will help you decide if a poly pig, water jet, or combination of both, will best work to get your pipes flowing again. They will have the right equipment including

  • A high pressure water pump
  • A diesel engine or equivalent to power the water jet
  • An appropriate sized water tank to maximize efficiency and minimize trips offsite to refill.
