If you have ever experienced a clogged drain before, you know that clearing it can be a messy and possibly costly process. Clogs not only pose an immediate flooding threat, but they also have the potential to cause long term damage to your pipes.  While American Plumbing offers regular snaking services for the occasional stoppage, if your home or business’ pipes are particularly prone to clogging, we recommend HydroJet drain cleaning.

So what is HydroJet drain cleaning? It is actually just what it sounds like. A water tank, engine, and pump are used to propel pressurized jets of water pushed through strong hoses and specialized nozzles in order to break apart clogs. These powerful jets can get through what snakes can’t with ease- some more powerful HydroJets can even break through thick tree roots! HydroJet cleaning is definitely not something American Plumbing recommends as a DIY project. Because of the immense strength of the jets, improper use or use on weakened pipes can lead to even further damage. American Plumbing will carefully inspect your pipes to make sure that using a HydroJet system will be the safest and most effective option. Our professionals can handle the powerful equipment with care, insuring that the problem is resolved with no damage to your home.

Another great advantage of the HydroJets is that they not only unblock, but also clean your home or business’ pipes. Cleaner pipes can increase water pressure and decrease the likelihood of a new clog in the future.  This is a great solution for mineral buildup on the inside of pipes which, left unattended, can eventually completely block water flow.  No matter how big or small a pipe is, different nozzles can be used to reach any blockage or buildup that your property may need cleared. American plumbing also highly recommends HydroJet cleaning for industries that deal with grease or chemicals that can stick to the side of pipes. This grime can greatly increase the likelihood of a blockage as debris will get caught on the sticky film. HydroJet cleaning is not only great for when you need to clear a stoppage, but can also be used as a preventative measure to ensure you can avoid a disastrous clog or flood in the future. American Plumbing can set up a HydroJet cleaning schedule that works for your business!

HydroJet cleaning is a safer, more reliable, and environmentally friendly alternative to harsh drain dissolving chemical solutions such as Drano® and Liquid-Plumr®. These products are not only rather ineffective, but they can also harm your plumbing if use is prolonged. The harsh chemical ingredients are not only harmful to the environment, but are harsh if they come in contact with skin and are extremely dangerous to store where they might be found by children. As a matter of fact, multiple products from the Liquid-Plumr® line have recently been recalled. HydroJets also out perform a plumbing snake as a HydroJet cleaning will clean the entire blockage and surrounding debris, while a snake may only make a path through the blockage which can easily be re-clogged. It is easy to see why HydroJet drain cleaning, which only uses water and is far more effective, is the superior drain cleaning choice.
