What is Drain Clearing?

Most plumbers will provide drain clearing services. You call with a clogged sink or tub drain, and they solely release that clog. This is not drain cleaning, but rather drain clearing.
To perform drain clearing, your everyday household plunger won't do the job. Instead, a plumbing snake is inserted into your affected pipe. A plumbing snake is a heavy-duty cable, powered by a motor that rotates a blade fastened at the end of the cable. When the motor is turned on, the blade spins, breaking up blockages in its path.
Once a clog is broken apart by the snake blade, water flow is restored to your plumbing; yet, the clog particles remain in your piping. This could pose potential issues later on, as the incompatible pipe intruder that initially caused the clog remains in your pipes.
Your drain will appear fixed; however, clogs will likely reoccur as your plumbing still has the remnants of your previous clog floating around.
We typically do not recommend drain clearing; yet, there is one exception. If your affected drain is in a historic, or older, building, snaking your drain is the best clog removal technique for your property. Older plumbing is fragile and requires the least invasive drain repair in order to avoid fracturing the pipe.

Drain Cleaning fully flushes out your pipes. If you have snaked your drains over and over again, and are still dealing with blockages or standing water, it’s time to schedule hydro jetting. Build-up from years of partially cleared clogs still lurk in your plumbing—hydro jetting will rid your pipes of these foreign items and leave your pipes squeaky clean!
Hydro jetting is the most effective way to dislodge clogs, while simultaneously preventing a blocked drain from occurring in the future. Whether your commercial sewer line is acting up or your kitchen sink is flooding, hydro jetting will blast your clog and clean your plumbing.
How does hydro jetting work? Through a special hose and nozzle, pressurized water penetrates your plumbing. From grease to tree roots, ice to cement, hydro jetting will flush out all foreign objects and incompatible substances in your pipes. Any clogs, build-up, and debris are washed away and water flow will be restored.
Drain cleaning is superior to drain clearing, as it thoroughly cleans the entire pipe rather than merely dislodging a clog. With hydro jetting, your pipes will have longer lifespans and fewer stoppages.
