Hydro-jetting

Hydro-jetting for drain cleaning is a process where a plumber uses a power system with water and hundreds of feet of hose to pressurize water and blast debris out of clogged pipes. This high-pressure stream is strong enough to clean out even tree roots. The high-pressure blasts scour the pipes and flush debris downstream, improving the overall health of the pipes. Ideally, you should have your pipes cleaned at least twice a year, but sometimes more frequently.

When snaking is no longer an option, hydro-jetting is the best solution. A hydro-jetter’s high-pressure water blasts through the pipes, washing away debris and grease from pipes. It is more effective than snaking, which only punctures clogs. Hydro-jetting also reduces the chances of a clog occurring in the future. But hydro-jetting is more expensive than snaking.

Over-the-counter drain cleaners

There are several types of over-the-counter drain cleaners available on the market today. These cleaners are typically caustic in nature, using sodium hydroxide or sodium hypochlorite to dissolve grease and other organic materials in the drain. While they are effective at clearing drains and clogged pipes, they can also damage garbage disposal seals and other plumbing components.

Chemical drain cleaners are also toxic to your health. They are absorbed into the groundwater and may even reach your water supply. This is why it is vital to follow the directions on the product label. You should also use a well-ventilated area for this task. Remember to keep chemicals out of reach of children and pets. You should never mix over-the-counter drain cleaners with any other products, including a plunger.

Video drain inspection

If your sewer or drain system has backed up, you may want to consider hiring a video drain inspection service. These plumbers use a small video camera mounted on a wheeled base. The camera is operated by a professional who guides the camera through the pipes and relays the images to a monitor. A video drain inspection service can reveal any damage that is too small or too large to be visible with the naked eye, allowing a more cost-effective approach to the repair or cleaning of the system.

The process of video drain inspection is also highly effective at locating hidden breaks in sewer lines. Oftentimes, small cracks go undetected for years, leaking wastewater into the soil. This is especially problematic for homes using well water. If the pipe is cracked, root infiltration may be underway before the drain starts to back up. Luckily, a video drain inspection service can spot this problem early and get to it as quickly as possible.
