Our Advanced Drain Cleaning Process
Our service is designed to address all drain-related issues, from the fixture trap to the main sewer line, providing a reliable and lasting solution.
Step 1: High-Definition Camera Inspection
We begin with a non-invasive camera inspection of the drain line to accurately diagnose the cause and location of the blockage, whether it’s grease, roots, or foreign objects. This crucial step eliminates guesswork and allows us to select the most effective cleaning method.
Step 2: Precision Cleaning Technique Selection
Based on the inspection, we select the most effective method. For minor clogs, we use professional snaking. For severe blockages and built-up residue, we recommend Hydro-Jetting to scour the pipe walls clean, restoring them to their original diameter.
Step 3: Performance Verification and Testing
After clearing the blockage, we run water through the line and perform a second camera inspection to visually confirm that the pipe is completely clear and flowing at maximum capacity. This step ensures the problem is fully resolved and not just temporarily alleviated.
Step 4: Preventative Maintenance Consultation
We provide a detailed report of our findings and offer expert advice on preventative measures, including the benefits of regular maintenance and Plumbing Inspection to protect your home from future drain emergencies.
-
What is the difference between drain snaking and hydro-jetting?
Snaking is a mechanical method that uses a cable to break through a blockage. Hydro-Jetting uses highly pressurized water to not only break up the clog but also scour the entire inner circumference of the pipe, removing built-up grease, scale, and mineral deposits for a more thorough and long-lasting clean.
-
How often should I have my drains professionally cleaned?
For most homes, an annual or bi-annual professional cleaning is recommended, especially for kitchen drains. If you have recurring clogs, a Plumbing Inspection can determine if a more serious issue, like a broken pipe or tree root intrusion, requires Sewer Repair.
-
What are the signs that I need professional drain cleaning?
The most common signs are slow drains, gurgling sounds coming from fixtures (especially after flushing a toilet), foul odors emanating from drains, and water backing up in sinks or tubs. These symptoms indicate a blockage is forming and should be addressed immediately.
-
Can I use chemical drain cleaners to clear a clog?
No. Chemical cleaners can damage your pipes, especially older ones, and are often ineffective against severe clogs. They can also pose a safety risk to you and the technician. Professional methods like snaking or hydro-jetting are safer and more effective.
-
Does drain cleaning include the main sewer line?
Yes, our comprehensive drain cleaning services include the main sewer line, which is critical for preventing major backups that affect all fixtures in your home. If the main line is compromised, we may recommend Sewer Repair options.
