What better way to start the New Year than with clean drains! Okay… maybe you can think of some better ways to kick off the New Year, but as a plumber, we want to make sure you’re aware of 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’re greatly reducing the chance of finding yourself in an emergency drain situation (like when you’re about to go on vacation or have guests over for the weekend!) . You have several options to ensure you get that peace of mind:
Afternoon snack
The meandering drain is a simple yet effective way to provide drain cleaning. San Diegans can benefit from using a specialized cable (the meandering technique) that will effectively clear most two and four inch drains to clear clogs in sewer lines. Many places even offer packages that include refreshments from all the two-inch drains inside your home, as well as your main four-inch line.
hydrowash
Using the high pressure water system, the water jet is extremely effective at removing debris (including roots and grease) from drain lines giving you the ultimate in drain cleaning. San Diegans know that hydrojet results last longer and also come with a longer warranty. Using water jets on 2-inch drain lines, specifically your kitchen drain, is ideal for removing that stubborn grease that builds up in the line over time. The hydrojet uses specialized nozzles powered by water up to 3000 PSI to thoroughly clean drain lines. Specialized tools are also used to restore the drain line to its original diameter.
Sewer Camera Inspections
For those stubborn San Diego drain cleaning problems that keep occurring in your sewer line, you can schedule a sewer camera inspection to find out exactly what is causing the problem and where that problem is. The technology is in place to pinpoint exactly where the problem is so you can receive a quote to fix that problem right away.
Epoxy Sewer Coating
Also known as “drain lining,” this trenchless technology is the most effective way to ensure that your San Diego drain cleaning service runs smoothly and that your sewer lines don’t continue to cause you problems. Using the sewer camera, your San Diego drain cleaning technician will first inspect the line to assess the drainage 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 mix is placed in the exact location needed to repair the pipe. The liner (or bladder) inflates, creating a pipe within a pipe. Once the epoxy cures, the bladder is removed and your new pipe is ready to use.
