What better way to start the New Year than with clean drains! Okay…maybe you can think of a few better ways to start off the New Year, but as a plumber, we want to make sure you know about your drain cleaning options. Preventative drain maintenance is a great way to save money and reduce stress. When you schedule a routine drain cleaning, you are greatly reducing the chance that you’ll find yourself in a situation of having an emergency drain problem (like when you’re just about the leave for vacation or having guests over for the weekend!). You have several options to ensure that you get that peace of mind:
Snaking
Drain snaking is a simple, yet effective way to provide drain cleaning. San Diego residents can benefit from the use of a specialized cable (the snaking technique) which will effectively clear through most two inch and four inch drains to clear the obstructions in your sewer lines. Many places even offer packages include snaking of all your two-inch drains within your home, as well as your four-inch main line.
Hydro-Jetting
Using the high-pressure water system, hydro jetting is extremely effective in removing debris (including roots and grease) from your drain lines and providing you with the very best in drain cleaning. San Diego residents know the results of hydro-jetting lasts longer and also carry a longer warranty. Using hydro jetting on your 2-inch drain lines, specifically on your kitchen drain, is ideal in removing that stubborn grease that builds up in the line over time. Hydro jetting utilizes specialized nozzles powered by water up to 3,000 PSI to thoroughly clean drain lines. Specialized tools are also used to restore your drain line to its original diameter.
Sewer Camera Inspections
For those stubborn San Diego drain-cleaning issues that keep happening to your sewer line, you can schedule a sewer camera inspection to find out exactly what is causing the issue and where that issue is. Technology exists to pinpoint exactly where the problem is so that you can receive an estimate to repair that issue immediately.
Epoxy Sewer Lining
Also known as “drain-lining” this trench free technology is the most effective way to make sure your San Diego drain cleaning service works well and your sewer lines do not continue to cause you problems. Using the sewer camera, your San Diego drain cleaning technician will first inspect the line to evaluate the drain system, properly diagnose the problem and offer you options for a permanent solution. After using specialized tools to restore the sewer line, a felt liner saturated with an epoxy mixture is placed into the exact location needed to make the pipe repair. The liner (or bladder) is inflated, creating a pipe inside of a pipe. Once the epoxy is cured, the bladder is removed and your new pipe is ready to use.
