Clogged drains make it hard for people to use their kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, toilets, and showers and bathtubs. Usually, these clogs start small and get bigger over time requiring professional drain cleaning services. Individuals who’ve never had drain cleaning in New Jersey might wonder what to expect from these services.
When a plumber arrives at a job, they don’t start plunging, snaking, or hydro jetting right away. First, they ask homeowners questions a series of questions. These questions help the plumber understand what kind of clog they might be dealing with.
The most important question they’ll ask is if the person has had this problem before. Recurring drainage problems can happen for several reasons such as poor user habits, bad pipe installation, corroded pipes, and old plumbing. People must tell their plumber about any DIY drain cleaning methods they attempted, including the use of chemical drain cleaners.
After learning as much as they can about the drainage problems, plumbers will then use their skills and advanced equipment to diagnose the problem. They might use camera equipment to get a better look inside the drain and pinpoint the exact location of the blockage. Performing diagnostic services makes it easier for the plumber to give homeowners a better idea about the price and how much time the drain clearing will take.
Drain cleaning gets messy, which is why plumbers take the time to prepare the area where the work is to be done. They’ll lay down drop cloths to protect the floor and any breakable components like porcelain toilets and sinks.
Plumbers use several drain cleaning methods. A popular method used to clean toilet and sink clogs is snaking. Plumbers use mechanical drain snakes with long cables to clear clogs up to 100 feet inside of the pipe.
In some cases, plumbers might recommend hydro-jetting, also called water-jetting, to clear away tough clogs deep inside the pipes and in the sewer line. Hydro-jetting is a safe, chemical-free drain cleaning method that leaves most pipes as clean as the day they were installed.
