OUR SERVICES
Every homeowner eventually has to deal with a clogged drain. If a simple cleanup can’t fix the problem, get in touch with Sewer Solutions for professional drain cleaning in Kirkland, WA immediately. Usually, you have two options for drain cleaning: snaking and hydro jetting. Here’s a quick overview:
Drain Snaking
Drain snaking uses a tool called an auger. It’s a steel cable with a tip that penetrates or breaks up clogs. We carefully insert it into the drain and turn it as we push it further down the pipe. This effectively removes clogs that are not so deep but are difficult to free with a plunger.
Hydro Jetting
On the other hand, hydro jetting uses a forceful stream of water to clear out stubborn clogs. The water comes from a hose with a special nose to fit in sewer lines. It shoots out water pressure with 3000 to 8000 PSI.
It can cut through almost anything, like tree roots, grease clinging to pipes, and other debris, leaving your pipes clean and clear. It is also environmentally friendly since no chemicals are needed. Any drain cleaning company trusts this method because it effectively clears all types of blockage in the sewer lines.
Which One to Choose?
Both methods have their own set of benefits and drawbacks. While drain snaking can clear blockages, it can’t break through tree roots and other stubborn clogs. Meanwhile, while hydro jetting can eliminate even the toughest clogs, it is not suitable for all kinds of pipes. We’ll first assess if your pipes are durable enough to handle the water pressure. When you turn to us for drain cleaning services, we’ll be sure to recommend the perfect solution for your needs.
