Why You Should Never Use Chemical Drain Cleaners

Never, ever use chemical drain cleaners. Reasons that you should avoid using chemical drain cleaners include:

• They can cause damage to your pipes

• Chemical drain cleaners are harmful to the environment

• They can cause damage to your septic system

• Chemical drain cleaners often do not work as well as they should, leading to worse clogs

• They are caustic, corrosive, and highly toxic to people, children, and pets

- What is Rooter Service?

Rooter service is just another method of drain cleaning. However, unlike more traditional drain cleaning methods, rooter service is designed for significant obstructions.

During rooter service, our plumbers use a drain snake with a rooter auger. An auger is nothing more than a drill bit that was explicitly designed to break apart and remove drain line clogs and obstructions. Typically, we reserve rooter service for the clogs and blockages that more traditional snaking and drain cleaning can’t handle.

Unfortunately, even rooter service sometimes can’t handle extremely severe obstructions like tree roots and fatbergs (piled up grease, fat, and toilet tissue/wipes). For those more significant clogs and blockages, our drain cleaning team often recommends hydro-jetting service.

- What is Hydro-Jetting?

Hydro jetting is yet another method of drain cleaning reserved for the most significant clogs and obstructions. Unlike rooter service or traditional drain cleaning, hydro-jetting employs highly pressurized water to break apart clogs and obstructions.

To help wrap your head around exactly what hydro jetting is, it helps to compare the service to more traditional pressure washing. Both tools use pressurized water to break apart and clean messes. However, hydro-jetting machines utilize water under pressure several magnitudes higher than the pressure washers you can rent/purchase at your local hardware or home improvement store.

Moreover, since liquids do not compress under pressure, the additional forces present in hydro-jetting machines translates directly into more significant cleaning power. In fact, hydro-jetting is so powerful that it can break apart tree roots and other seemingly solid drain line obstructions! Cool, right?
