Clogged Drains
Are you having trouble with blocked pipes or clogged toilets? Well, you know what they say – prevention is better than cure. It’s important to be aware of the everyday items that can cause drain blockages. This annoying problem can be caused by a variety of factors, including items accidentally going down the drain. Although it’s more common in households with young kids or public restrooms with high traffic, a clog can happen due to several reasons that produce similar results. So, to avoid blocked toilets and pipes, it’s crucial to find out what’s causing the problem in the first place.
The sewer pipes in most homes are usually 3″ to 4″ wide. This means that if anything other than the usual stuff gets in there by mistake, it can cause a blockage. But if that happens, no need to panic. A basic drain cleaning service can sort out any clogs in your drain.

The trees surrounding your property are remarkably skilled at their natural role of seeking and tapping into moisture. Unfortunately, the roots of these trees can grow into the joints between pipes in your sewer line, in search of the abundant moisture. Over time, these roots continue to grow and can weaken the structure of the sewer pipe, which can cause a big problem down the line. It is essential to proactively address this issue to avoid any potential risks and expenses in the future.

It is important to note that having a garbage disposal in one’s kitchen does not necessarily mean that any type of waste can be disposed of through it. It is understandable that after a long day, it is tempting to discard everything down the drain. However, we strongly advise against this. Among the items that should not be put down the kitchen sink are large food chunks, fats from cooked meats (e.g. bacon, hamburger), large fruit peels (e.g. bananas, oranges), eggshells, and cooking oil. These items can potentially cause damage to the garbage disposal and clog the pipes. Therefore, we urge everyone to be mindful of these guidelines.

Drain cleaning machine
When it comes to clearing clogs, you have two powerful options: the hand-powered and electric -powered are used for unclogging plumbing systems. There are two types of drain tools commonly used to clear blockages. The first type is a hand-cranked auger that features a long, flexible cable with a corkscrew-like tip. This type of auger is inserted through the drain opening and pushed towards the blockage by turning the crank. The corkscrew tip digs into the blockage and breaks it up, allowing the debris to be flushed away.
The second type of drain auger is a motorized auger that is powered by an electric motor. This type of auger is characterized by a lengthy, flexible cable, which is affixed to a cutting head. The cutting head rotates and cuts through the blockage as the cable is fed through the drain opening. It is more powerful than the hand-cranked version and is often used by professional plumbers to clear tough blockages.

Hydrojet offers a comprehensive solution that not only rebuilding flow but provides a complete solution that gets rid of grease accumulation and even tree roots, thereby significantly increasing the flow capacity within your pipeline.
