Plumbing Snakes vs. the Hydro-jetting Method

You’ve likely heard of the plumbing snake. Rub-A-Dub brings snake technology into the 21st century. This highly precise device is for thorough pipe cleaning, not just eliminating blockages:

• A thin metal cable is threaded into the pipe right to the clog.
• At the end of the cable, sharp blades are made to fit the interior of the pipe.
• A high-speed motor then propels the blades to cut sludge and scour the walls of the pipe.
• With the power-rodding equipment sized exactly for the pipe, it’s very efficient and much less stressful to pipes than the snake that relies on blunt force.

The current state-of-the-art slot for drain cleaning belongs to the hydro-jetting method. It uses high-pressure water to eliminate clogs in plumbing, and it cleans internal pipe surfaces to prevent a repeat blockage. Rather than the cutting blade used in power rodding, the hydro-jetting system uses a high-pressure water line that threads into the pipe. The cleaning head uses precision nozzles to jet water out at approximately 3,500 p.s.i. To give you an idea of how much pressure this is, imagine a knife cutting through pudding. Yep, that easy. This blast of water reduces sludge to a semi-solid state. Best of all, it does not traumatize plumbing pipes the way mechanical cleaning equipment does.

How to Take Care of Your Drains in Between Visits

It’s not enough just to unclog a drain, a maintenance program needs to be recommended too. Learn how to keep your drains free and clear at all times. Here are some pointers for between our drain cleaning visits:

• Be aware of sticky stuff. Toothpaste, hair gel and hair itself all can clog the bathroom drain pipe. Grease and oil can build up over time producing a clogged kitchen sink.
• Salt and vinegar aren’t just for food. Table salt can get your drains running again with just one tablespoon of salt into your clogged bathroom drain along with a quarter cup of white vinegar. Let it sit for one hour, and then run hot water to wash it all down. Do it a second time for even better results.
• Don’t be afraid of a little bleach. By pouring one cup in the sink for at least an hour and then run water down the drain.
• Detergent plus boiling water equals drain-cleaning love. Dish detergent and a pot of boiling water can remedy grease build-up in your kitchen drain. Just squirt at least a tablespoon of dish liquid down the drain followed by the pot of boiling water poured a little at a time. The boiling water melt grease deposits while the detergent dissolves grease and oil. Repeat two to three times for major buildup.
• Bring it to a boil! Simply putting hot water down your kitchen and bathroom drains once a week can go a long way. Bathroom drains benefit from such hot water since you’d never use it to wash your skin.
• Make mine a cold one. Your garbage disposal need cold water rather than hot water to keep oils and grease in a solid state. This allows them to be broken up by the disposal. However, do use hot water after running the disposal to remove grease deposits from pots and pans.
