You’d be surprised to learn that a handy plunger is a cliche for what professional plumbers use the most to handle clogs. Although you can buy certain entry-level equipment like plungers, drain snakes, and more, most people do not possess the skill or know-how to use them effectively, and if they do attempt a homestyle DIY procedure, sometimes the result is so makeshift that they end up calling an expert anyways–only after of course scratching or denting their pipes.
For example, to perform a professional-level drain snaking you’d have to insert an auger, which is a long and flexible cable with a cone-shaped tip, and carefully navigate it within your drain pipes. Augers come either in a motorized version with a corkscrew end that can easily drill through bigger blockages or manual versions with a hand crank. Many don’t have the dexterity to twist, turn and bend the crevices of drainage pipes and end up scratching and scuffing them instead, and mostly you just end up breaking off bits and pieces of the clog rather than removing it.
By relying on our trained technicians, you can rest easy knowing they know how to directly penetrate the nasty blockage and pull it out. Although we have many tools in our arsenal, we also utilize other advanced industry techniques like video camera inspections, hydro jetting, and trenchless repairs to provide the best possible results for clearing and repairing clogged drains in columbia-sc.
HydroScrub® Jetting
Our HydroScrub® jetting has three key components including a large water tank, a robust hose, and a durable nozzle. This innovative technology pumps a high-pressure stream of water simultaneously in two directions, one at the front pulses straight through the clog, and one in the back scours away any accumulated residue. Hydro Jetting uses up to 3500 psi and pulses 68 liters of water per minute to effortlessly blast away not only any rigid clogs but also scrub any debris clinging to the inside of your pipe walls.
Best of all, this is a safe and sanitary procedure as the pulse of water will pump the clog through your home’s sewer line and out into the city’s sewage system, and rightfully so as you don’t want to deal with that icky mess. We recommend a good hydro jetting to scrub away all the muck inside your pipes, especially if you bought a pre-owned home as the previous owners may not have scoured their lines clean.
Biodegradable Drain Care
If you think hydro jetting is our only natural method that doesn’t use toxic chemicals, you’d be mistaken. Our BioChoiceES is our brand of professional drain cleaner and unlike the chemical drain cleaners sold at your supermarket or home hardware store it won’t give off poisonous fumes affecting your health. Plus these chemical-based drain cleaners are ineffective and eat away and corrode your pipes by weakening the material and adding to the muck inside. As a result, your drainage pipes will become readily exposed to cracks and leaks. As a natural-based solution, BioChoiceES has enzymes made of a live vegetative bacterial culture that breaks down clogs and other substances including oil, grease, soap scum, and more.
