Drain cleaning is one of those things that few people think about, but which is very important for maintaining the health of the drain and sewer system. When you need drain cleaning, such as when you have a clog, you probably don’t care how it gets fixed as long as it does. Still, it can be helpful to understand how exactly the process of drain cleaning happens. With that, let’s go over the typical process for drain cleaning services.
The first response to a need for drain cleaning is typically to use a drain snake. This is a long cord with an auger on the end of it. Most clogs are pretty easily removed by drilling through them with a drain snake. If the snake is unable to deal with the clog, though, something a bit more powerful might be called for.
When drain clogs tend to be a bit more resilient than expected, the next step is typically to resort to video pipe inspection. Pipe inspection involves inserting a camera into the pipe, allowing the plumber controlling it to examine the drain problem without having to dig up the pipe.
Hydro jetting is a method for blasting waste buildup out of the pipe, using a high-pressure stream of water. This method is typically used for more stubborn clogs, though it is often used as a preventive measure, as well. The system uses an omnidirectional sprayer head to reach all areas of the pipe, making it ideal for solving for clogs before they start.
