Drain Video Inspection
The first step to cleaning your drains comes from an inspection. We aim to be incredibly meticulous in our drain-snaking process, and that means we need to know what we're dealing with. For example, drain snaking isn't going to help you if the reason your drains are clogged is a tree root. Similarly, pipe damage may only worsen when we use an electric auger.
To get a look inside of your drain line or sewer pipe, we'll insert our drain camera down into your plumbing system. Recording every inch of your pipes as we slide it along, we will be able to see exactly where the clog is located and what it's made of. If we believe that using a drain snake is the appropriate solution, we will go ahead with the next part of our process.
Drain Snaking
To snake your drains, we'll use a commercial auger to reach deep inside your pipes. Blockages can be located at any distance down your pipes, and professional augers can reach up to 100 feet in length. That means we can reach clogs that are far away. With a sharp, bristled head attached to a cable, we will wind the auger down your drain line until we reach the clog. The spiraling motion of the snake busts up clogs, breaking apart grease blobs, food debris, hair, soap scum, and more. But while the drain snake will get rid of the bulk of the clog, you should keep in mind that snaking is not cleaning. We will also recommend a drain cleaning service to follow up on drain snaking.
Optional: Drain Cleaning
While a drain snake does a great job at removing a clog, if you have seriously dirty drains, you should consider our drain cleaning services. During our professional drain cleaning service, we use Hydro-Jetting equipment to blast away debris and build-up inside your drain line. While this service isn't ideal for every customer, depending on the condition of their drain pipes, it's a fast and easy way to get rid of clogs and give the inside of your plumbing system a good polish.
Regular drain cleaning is powerful enough to prevent slow drains, clogs in your sewer line, and even costly drain repair. If you're curious about how drain cleaning can help your pipes, inquire about it when booking your snaking service.
