During this process, a cable is inserted to target the obstructed area. A puncture is made in the blockage permitting the drainage to flow through it. The drain is opened just enough to temporarily restore the water flow but clogs will likely reoccur since your drain still has remnants from the previous clog adhering to the inside of the pipe. This is the least expensive, but less effective process over the long term.
By inserting a fiber-optic video camera down the drain, it allows our drain specialists to see real-time imagery of the blockage. A jetting machine is used with high-powered water pressure that is necessary to fully clean and remove sludge or roots out of the pipes.
Slow drains, leaks, gurgling sounds, mysterious odors…Your drain is clogged, what do you do?
No matter how the stoppage originated, neglected drain clogs cause other issues in pipes. This then leads to repetitive issues with your plumbing system and eventually the entire main sewer system will back up. If the problem is left untouched, a small issue can turn into a BIG problem for your home and wallet.
The drain cleaning method is the most effective way to dislodge clogs, as it fully flushes out all obstructions, including tree roots from your pipes. If you have snaked your drains over and over again and are still dealing with blockage or standing water, it is time to schedule a hydro-jet service.
