Drain Cleaning

Drain cleaning is the process of removing blockages, buildup, or debris from pipes and drains to ensure proper drainage and prevent plumbing issues. Over time, various substances such as grease, hair, soap scum, food particles, and mineral deposits can accumulate in pipes, leading to clogs and slow drainage. Drain cleaning can be done using various methods, including:

Mechanical Methods: This involves physically removing blockages using tools such as drain snakes or augers. These tools are inserted into the drain and rotated to break up and dislodge the clog.
Hydro-jetting: This method uses high-pressure water streams to blast away blockages and buildup from the inside of pipes. It's effective for removing stubborn clogs and thoroughly cleaning the pipe walls.

Regular drain cleaning helps maintain the integrity of your plumbing system, prevents backups and leaks, and prolongs the lifespan of your pipes. It's often recommended to schedule drain cleaning periodically as part of home maintenance to prevent costly plumbing problems in the future.

Jetting Service

Using a drain jetter to clear a clog involves utilizing high-pressure water to dislodge and flush away debris, buildup, or obstructions from plumbing pipes. Here's a breakdown of the process:

Assessment: Before using a drain jetter, our knowledgeable staff typically assesses the clog and determines its location and severity. This may involve inspecting the drain using a sewer camera to get a clear view of the blockage.
Preparation: We will then prepare the drain jetter equipment, which consists of a high-pressure water pump, hoses, and a specialized nozzle designed to deliver a concentrated stream of water.
Insertion: Next the drain jetter hose is inserted into the affected drain or cleanout access point. The hose is fed into the pipe until it reaches the location of the clog.
High-Pressure Water Jetting: Once the drain jetter hose is in position, we will activate the high-pressure water pump. Water is then forced through the hose at extremely high pressure, typically ranging from 1,500 to 4,000 pounds per square inch (psi).
Nozzle Action: The specialized nozzle at the end of the hose directs the pressurized water in various directions, including forward to break up the clog and backward to flush away loosened debris.
Dislodging the Clog: The force of the high-pressure water jet effectively breaks apart the clog, whether it's comprised of grease, hair, soap scum, food particles, or other materials. The water jet can also penetrate and remove tree roots that may have infiltrated the pipe.
Flush Out Debris: As the clog is dislodged, the water carries the debris downstream, flushing it out of the pipe and restoring proper drainage.
Completion and Inspection: Once the drain jetting process is complete, we may conduct another inspection using a sewer camera to ensure the clog has been fully cleared and there are no remaining issues.

Using a drain jetter is a highly effective method for clearing stubborn clogs and restoring proper flow in plumbing pipes. It's often preferred for its ability to thoroughly clean the interior of pipes and remove even the toughest blockages.

Sewer Camera

Using a sewer camera, also known as a drain camera or sewer inspection camera, involves inserting a specialized camera into plumbing pipes or sewer lines to visually inspect their condition and identify any issues or blockages. Here's how the process generally works:

Preparation: Before using the sewer camera, it's essential to prepare the area by accessing the plumbing system. This may involve removing access points such as cleanout caps or accessing the pipes through an existing entry point.
Camera Insertion: The sewer camera, typically attached to a flexible rod or cable, is carefully inserted into the plumbing system through the access point. The camera is designed to navigate through the pipes smoothly, even around bends and corners.
Visual Inspection: As the camera travels through the pipes, it captures high-resolution video footage of the interior of the plumbing system in real-time. This allows our staff to visually inspect the condition of the pipes, joints, and connections.
Identification of Issues: During the inspection, we can identify various issues such as:
- Blockages: The camera can detect the presence of clogs, debris, tree roots, or other obstructions that may be causing backups or slow drainage.
- Damage: It can identify cracks, breaks, or other forms of damage to the pipes, which could lead to leaks or structural issues.
- Corrosion: The camera can reveal signs of corrosion or deterioration in the pipes, indicating the need for repairs or replacement.
- Misalignments: It can detect misaligned or displaced pipes, which may impede proper flow and drainage.
Documentation: The footage captured by the sewer camera serves as visual documentation of the inspection findings. This documentation can be useful for making repair decisions, providing evidence for insurance claims, or documenting the condition of the plumbing system for property inspections.
Analysis and Reporting: After the inspection, we will analyze the footage and prepare a detailed report outlining any issues found, along with recommendations for repairs or maintenance.

Using a sewer camera is a valuable diagnostic tool as it allows for accurate and non-invasive assessment of plumbing systems, leading to more effective and targeted repairs.
