Power Rodding

Power rodding your main sewer line annually is of utmost importance. Over time, debris, grease, and other substances can accumulate in the pipes, restricting the flow of wastewater. By conducting annual power rodding, you can effectively remove these obstructions, ensuring that your sewer line remains clear and functioning optimally.

Secondly, power rodding helps identify and address potential issues before they escalate into major problems. It allows for the early detection of tree root intrusions, cracks, or leaks in the sewer line. Addressing these concerns promptly can save you from the headache of costly repairs and extensive damage to your plumbing system.

Maintaining a regular power rodding schedule also contributes to the overall hygiene and cleanliness of your home. Blockages in the main sewer line can lead to backups and sewage spills, causing foul odors and unsanitary conditions. By proactively clearing the line, you can prevent these unpleasant situations, ensuring a healthy living environment for you and your family.

Lastly, power rodding can extend the lifespan of your sewer line. By removing debris and preventing blockages, you reduce the strain on the pipes, minimizing the chances of corrosion and deterioration. Regular maintenance enhances the longevity of your sewer line, saving you from the expense and inconvenience of premature replacements.

Hydro-Jetting

Hydrojetting is a highly effective and efficient method used to clean and unclog drainage and sewer systems. It involves the use of high-pressure water streams to dislodge and remove stubborn blockages, debris, sediment, and built-up deposits from pipes and drains. Hydrojetting utilizes specialized equipment that delivers water at incredibly high pressures, typically ranging from 1,500 to 4,000 pounds per square inch (psi).

This service has the ability to thoroughly clean the entire inner surface of pipes, including hard-to-reach areas and corners. The force of the water jet scours away grease, scale, mineral deposits, tree roots, and other obstructions that may have accumulated over time. This thorough cleaning not only eliminates existing clogs but also helps prevent future blockages, ensuring the smooth and uninterrupted flow of wastewater.

This technique that can be applied to a wide range of pipe materials, including PVC, clay, cast iron, and concrete. It is effective in both residential and commercial settings, making it suitable for various applications such as kitchen drains, bathroom drains, sewer lines, and storm drains.

Hydrojetting is an environmentally friendly option for drain and sewer cleaning. It does not rely on harsh chemicals or abrasive substances that can potentially harm the pipes or contaminate the water supply, instead, it utilizes the power of water alone.
