DRAIN CLEANING

TOILET WONT FLUSH?

WHAT CAUSES STOPPAGES?

IT CAN BE FRUSTRATING EXPERIENCING A CLOGGED SEWER SYSTEM. HOWEVER, HERE AT DO IT RIGHT HOME SERVICES, WEVE GOT YOU COVERED.

BEFORE WE SHOW YOU WHAT IS NEEDED TO UNCLOG A STOPPAGE, FIRST WE MUST UNDERSTAND WHAT IS CAUSING THE STOPPAGE.

THERE A MANY REASONS FOR THE DRAINS IN A HOME TP STOP. THE 3 MOST COMMON ARE AS FOLLOWS:

TREE ROOTS:

TREE ROOTS LOVE MOISTURE. THEY WILL DIG THEMSELVES INTO THE HOMES SEWER SYSTEM AND BREAK INTO THE PIPES TO FEED/ABSORB THE SEWER WATER. THIS "ROOT INTRUSION" AS WE CALL IT WILL CLOG THE PIPES AND STOP THE DRAINS IN THE OME FROM DRAINING PROPERLY. SEVERE CASES CAN EVEN CAUSE OLDER PIPING MATERIAL LIKE CLAY TO FULY COLLAPSE OR OFFSET.

CORRODED CAST IRON:

METAL AND WATER, WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY MIX TOGETHER? RUST! OLDER HOMES BUILT BEFORE 1980 WERE BUILT USING CAST IRON DRAINS UNDERNEATH THE HOME. AFTER YEARS AND YEARS OF USAGE, THE INSIDE OF THE CAST IRON DRAINS BEGINS TO RUST. THIS RUST IS CALLED SCALE OR CORROSION. IT WILL NOT ONLY WEAKEN THE PIPE, BUT IT WILL ALSO CAUSE THE PIPE TO BECOME "BUMPY" ON THE BOTTOM. WE OFTEN SEE THAT IF "PLUMBER-IN-A-BOTTLE" PRODUCTS ARE USED THAT THE PIPE WILL ALSO FULLY BREAK OR CRACK ON THE BOTTOM. THIS LEADS TO EVEN MORE CLOGGING AND STOPPAGES.

GREASE

GREASE IS MOST LIKELY TO AFFECT THE KITCHEN DRAIN. EVEN IF YOU PERSONALLY DONT DUMP GREASE DOWN THE DRAIN IT WILL STILL ACCUMULATE OVER YEARS OF USAGE. GREASE WILL FULLY COMPACT THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM AND IS VERY STUBBORN TO REMOVE. IF GREASE IS LEFT FOR A LONG TIME INSIDE A HOME'S DRAINS IT WILL EVEN BECOME HARD LIKE A ROCK. THIS IS CALLED CALCIFIED GREASE.

HOW DO WE UNCLOG STOPPAGES?

WHAT WE USE TO UNCLOG A STOPPAGE DEPENDS ON WHAT THE CAUSE FOR THE STOPPAGE WAS

FOR ROOT INTRUSION

FOR ROOT INTRUSION, A COMBINATION SNAKING/ROOTER AND HYDROJETTING IS THE MOST EFFICIENT AT UNCLOGING THE STOPPAGE. WE FIRST SNAKE THE DRAIN TO PROVIDE RELIEFE TO THE SYSTEM. THEN, WE PERFORM A HYDROJETT SERVICE TO REMOVE A MOJAORITY OF THE ROOTS. HOWEVER, IF THE ROOT INTRUSION IS SEVERE, NO AMOUNT OF DRAIN CLEANING WILL BE SUCCESSFUL. SOMETIMES A SEWER REPAIR IS THE ONLY NEXT STEP

FOR CORRODED CAST IRON

FOR CORRODED CAST IRON, A COMBINATION OF SNAKING/CABELING AND A DESCALE SERVICE IS THE REQUIRED TREATMENT FOR THIS KIND OF STOPPAGE. DESCALE MACHINES RESIZE THE EXISTING CAST IRON DRAINS TO THEIR ORIGINAL INNER DIAMETER WITHOUT CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE PIPE.

FOR GREASE

GREASE STOPPAGES CAN BE TREATED WITH BOTH A SNAKING SERVICE AND A HYDROJET SERVICE. HOWEVER, THE ONLY WAY TO 100% REMOVE THE GREASE FROM THE DRAIN IS WITH A HYDROJET SERVICE.
