For many years, the plumbing snake has been the ultimate tool for removing clogs. Every plumber has a commercial plumbing snake in their toolbox for good reason. These tools can cut through a clog in a drain and remove the clog quickly and efficiently. However, even though the clog may be removed, a snake does not thoroughly clean your sewer pipes. To completely remove a clog, you need professional hydro jetting.
Why Hydro Jetting for Clogs Is Better Than a Snake
Although a snake can pull out a clog from a drain, they are not efficient at clearing all debris from inside of a sewer pipe. The snake will pull out the middle of a nasty clog and allow the pipe to drain again, but most likely there is still residue clinging to the inside of the pipe that can quickly collect debris to form another clog.
Hydro jetting performed by a professional sewer service can remove clogs and also clean the inside of the sewer pipes. Using high pressure water, the clog is flushed out, along with the sticky residue on the interior of the pipe. This water pressure is strong enough to even clear out tree roots that have infiltrated sewer lines outside of the home. So, not only is the initial clog gone, the entire length of the sewer line can be thoroughly cleaned, preventing future sewer line clogs and problems.
Hydro jetting service can also be used as part of sewer line maintenance. Instead of waiting for a clog to form, regular hydro jet cleanings can remove debris and keep sewer line clogs from forming. Talk to your local sewer service company that offers hydro jetting about scheduling a routine cleaning for your sewer pipes.
