Have You Ever Wondered What Hydro-Jetting Involved?
Hydro-Jetting is the process of pumping highly pressurized water using high-powered water hose in order to reverse thrusting, remove debris, clogs, and any blockages in pipes.
We place the hose into your drain and as the water strikes the inside of the pipe, debris falls from the sides and drains forward.
Bill Helmken Plumbing LLC has the ability to run the hydro jets both forward and backward to insure that the tough debris breaks away from both sides and top/bottom of pipe. Hydro jets can move deeper into the plumbing system compared to using a snake. By using the hydro-jet compared to the snake, pipes have proven to stay clean longer.
Bill Helmken Plumbing's Hydro-Jet will make your clogged pipes a thing of the past.
When should Hydro-Jetting Be Used?
When you find that your sinks back up often, hydro-jetting could be the solution to these problems. The deeper in the sewer the clog is located, this hydro-jet will solve the problem. A traditional snake tool can only go so far in the sewer, sometimes not reaching the problem.
Food and Grease are the two most common debris types in residential plumbing systems.
In addition, chemicals can be harmful to your plumbing pipes. Many chemicals in drain cleaners are strong and cause pipes to deteriorate instead of just clearing the debris. As a result, your pipe could burst with holes forming in it from the strong cleaner.
Trust Bill Helmken Plumbing LLC to solve your clogged pipe problems SAFELY AND EFFECTIVELY.
Benefits of Hydro-Jetting
Have you ever wondered how to keep your pipes and sewer cleaner?
You may smell an unusual scent as you rinse your dishes in the kitchen sink or even brush your teeth in the bathroom sink.
Debris buildup inside the pipes causes the strong odor when you run the sink water. Due to the debris sticking to pipes, eventually this could cause the pipes to crack and burst. Replacing broken pipes or even entire sections, is extremely expensive depending on the location of the pipes.
By removing the clogs, you can improve your water pressure and water flow throughout your home.
Bill Helmken Plumbing LLC's hydro-jetting service helps your pipes last longer.

Hydro-Jetting Caution
Older pipes made of clay could be damaged by using the Hydro-Jet due to the pressurized water at 4,000 P.S.I.
According to professional plumbers, Hydro- jetting is SAFE for PVC pipes, newer steel, copper pipes, and cast iron pipes.

Pittsburgh Plumbing Drain & Sewer Cleaning Experts
If you find yourself in the situation where your plumbing is draining very slow, then don't hesitate to go down to your home improvement warehouse and purchase a bottle of liquid plumber. On the other hand, if your drain is totally clogged then liquid plumber WILL NOT WORK. Clogged drains always get worse before they get better. If your water is still draining slowly after you've tried liquid plumber, or totally backed up with no improvements, Call Bill Helmken Plumbing 412-897-4210!
Reasons Why You Might Have A Clogged Drain
- Improper installation resulting in negative slope, AKA backfall
- Kitchen waste food matter and/or grease excessive accumulation buildup
- Buildup of hair follicles in bath tub or lavatory
- Dropping objects into the toilet, then accidentally flushing
Be sure to first see if it is possible to take the trap apart in order to see if there are any obstructions. Other than that, you better call an expert. When it comes to drain cleaning, having lots of experience matters.
For example, we have specialized heads to put on the end of the drain cleaning cable. As a result, the snake will not travel the wrong way.
Drop in heads are a must for drain cleaning kitchen, lavatory, and bathtub drains.
SIGNS OF DRAIN & SEWER LINE BACK-UPS
Sometimes, clogged drains may be a sign of a blocked sewer line or main sewer line blockage. They may also indicate blockage of the sewer vents on your roof. If this is the case, service to clear a clogged drain won't solve the problem.
SOME SIGNS OF SEWER CLOGS INCLUDE:
*Odd or unusual smells, sounds, and behaviors from plumbing fixtures when you are using them
For example, when using a bathroom sink, the backup may start in the shower drain.
Another example, when using the kitchen sink, the backup may start in the garbage disposal.
*Raw sewage backups in basement drains
Usually the lowest drains in your home, basement drains, can be the first place to show signs of clogged sewer lines.
*Multiple Fixtures Clogged Simultaneously
Did you ever hear of the domino effect?
When sewers are clogged, toilets are usually the first fixtures to act up. Other fixtures like tubs, showers, and sinks will soon follow.
At Bill Helmken Plumbing, LLC we take every sewer line problem and plumbing emergency seriously!

DIY OPTIONS TO CLEAR A CLOGGED DRAIN: WHY YOU SHOULD LEAVE IT TO THE PROS:
HAVE YOU EVER TRIED TO UNCLOG YOUR OWN DRAIN?
