Chances are every homeowner in the country has suffered from blocked drain at one time in their lives. Foreign objects like debris, leaves, wipes, napkins, hair, soap scum, food leftover may get stuck into drains forming a build-up inside the pipe, which eventually restrict the water flow making your drains run slowly.
If you don’t realize the problem within the reasonable timeframe, possible consequences are flooding drains, dripping pipe and pipe bursting. Certainly you can try using a plunger or snake to remove the clog out of the drainage pipe.
But when these techniques don’t work, you need to adapt to a more powerful technique. And here is when high-pressure water jetting – also known as hydro-jetting, drain jetting and simply water jetting- comes in the picture.
Professional drainage companies often use high-pressure water jetting technology when blockages are too firmly stuck into the pipe and aren’t feasible to remove using any conventional drain cleaning technique.
Drain Snakes
Drain snakes, also known as augers, are a commonly used drain cleaning tool. The tool comprises of a long metal tube having a cable inside it, which has attachments of blades or corkscrew auger at one end and a hand crake at the other end. The drain cleaning professionals insert the cable end of the tool in the drainage pipe and then cable can be extended in length depending on the location of the clog inside the pipe.
The experts identify the presence of the blockage once the cable witnesses some kind of resistance into the drainage system. Once the cable reaches the build-up, the drainage professionals turn the crank to take out the clog. The equipment with slight design variation is used for unblocking both sink and toilet drains. It can also be used to clear bathroom drains of any stubborn blockage.
High-Pressure Water Jetting
High-pressure water jetting equipment consist of a hose and a specialized nozzle, both attached to an equipment that increase water pressure and release high-pressure water streams at high velocity straight into the drainage pipe. This powerful water stream is capable of removing any complex build-up leaving properly clean and efficiently working drainage system at the end.
Drain jetting is the most efficient technique to drain unblocking and drain cleaning. Water is streamed down the drain at extreme high speed and pressure such that it can easily take the grease, hair, debris and any other build-up out of the drain. In fact, the hydro-jetting technique is also capable of breaking apart tree roots. Typically, a good water jetting Gillingham Company first conduct a CCTV drain survey to analyze the problem and get an ideal of drainage system schematic before using water jetting solution.
What Makes a Right Choice?
The right choice to clear your blocked drain actually depends on several factors like the actual cause, location and severity of the problem. High-pressure water jetting is best recommended when blockages can’t be eradicated using an auger or a plunger. A large build-up of grease and sludge grown over many months may not be easy to clear using a snake or a wire bend.
