Have a Clogged Drain?

How Does a Professional Plumber Clear a Clogged Drain?

A professional plumber may use a variety of methods to clear a clogged drain, including a plunger, a drain snake, or a hydro jet. The plunger is used to create suction and dislodge the blockage. 

The drain snake is a long, flexible tool that can be inserted into the pipe to physically remove the blockage. A hydro jet is a high-pressure water hose that can blast through tough blockages. They may also use a camera inspection to locate the blockage and determine the best course of action.

What is Hydro Jet Cleaning and How Does a Plumber Use It?

Hydro jet cleaning is a method of cleaning drains and sewers using high-pressure water streams. A plumber may use a hydro jet cleaning machine, which typically consists of a high-pressure water pump and a specialized nozzle, to forcefully flush out debris and buildup inside pipes. 

This method can be used to clear clogs, remove buildup in pipes, and even clean grease and grime from the inside of pipes. Plumbers may also use hydro jet cleaning as a preventative measure to keep pipes clean and clear, helping to prevent future clogs or blockages.

How Do Professional Plumbers Use Cameras and Locator Tools?

Professional plumbers use cameras and locator tools to inspect and locate issues within a plumbing system. A small camera mounted on a flexible rod is inserted into the pipes, allowing the plumber to visually inspect the inside of the pipes for any blockages, cracks, or other issues. 

Locator tools, such as electronic pipe and cable locators, are used to locate the exact position of underground pipes and sewer lines. These tools emit a signal that is picked up by a receiver, allowing the plumber to pinpoint the location of the pipes and make any necessary repairs.
