At Sewer Solutions, we understand that a clogged drain can slow down your entire day. Most home or business owners in the Seattle area will experience a clogged or blocked pipe at some point, but it doesn’t have to be expensive or time-consuming to fix. Advancements in trenchless plumbing technology have led to the creation of new tools and equipment, which speed up the drain cleaning process, saving you time and money.

Causes of Clogged Pipes

Most clogs are typically caused by the slow accumulation of dirt, debris, minerals, grease, and scum over time, all of which can diminish the performance of your sewer and drain lines. Other factors, such as tree root invasion or foreign objects, can also impact your pipes based on the location of your property. Home or businesses that were constructed on land with a lot of trees are more likely to experience clogs as the result of tree root invasion.

Why You Should Contact a Professional

While do-it-yourself fixes can seem like the perfect solution to small clogs or blockages, the reality is that your pipes are hidden within your walls, under your foundation, and beneath your landscaping, making it impossible to assess the extent of the clog. DIY methods can also be harmful to your sewer and drain lines because they often use harsh chemicals to reduce buildup, which can ultimately corrode your pipes. The best solution is to contact a professional when you’re experiencing the common signs of a clogged pipe like low water pressure, slow flushing drains, an increased water bill, or strange odors coming from your drains.

Hydro Jetting Technology

One of the most effective and eco-friendly trenchless cleaning services offered by professionals is called hydro jetting. Hydro jetting involves sending a hose with a multidirectional nozzle through your pipes to spray them free of any buildup or blockages with nothing more than high-pressure water. Using just clean water helps to protect local environments while also reducing your cleaning costs.

Schedule Regular Maintenance

The best way to protect your investment and extend the life of your pipes is to schedule regular cleaning services with a professional. You’ll be able to rest easy knowing that an experienced technician will stay on top of your sewer and drain lines, keeping your pipes free of any buildup, while alerting you to any potential problems you might encounter.
