If you are a home owner, then you must be aware of the fact that life is not all about choosing a pretty carpet or hanging a beautiful piece of art. It also involves the "dirty business" of clogged drain.

Clogged drain is a very common problem in houses. Waste gets accumulated in the drainage pipes and it builds up over time. It will result in slow drain as well as water back-up. Every year, innumerable home owners spend thousands of dollars on plumbing. If you are facing the problem of clogged drain and water back-up from tub, you need not spend your hard-earned money on expensive plumbing techniques.

What is the Alternative for Expensive Plumbing Techniques?

When it comes to cleaning the drain, you have to trust the purest thing available in nature - WATER. This is no joke. Hydro-jetting technique is very common among plumbers for cleaning the clogged drain. It involves cleaning drains by releasing water under high pressure.

Water is the perfect alternative for taking care of drains and keeping them clean. Why? The reasons are as follows:

1. It is Chemical-Free

Chemical-based drain cleaners are very toxic in nature. They contain extremely corrosive sodium hydroxide (commonly known as lye and caustic soda). It can burn eyes and cause respiratory issues. If you frequently use such drain cleaners, it can cause chronic skin problems.

So, in order to avoid any health problem, it is important to clean the drain by opting for hydro-jetting technique.

2. Snaking is a Temporary Solution

Snaking technique involves cleaning drain with the help of equipment called "drain snake". The drain snake can remove debris or hair clogged in the drain but it cannot remove waste build-up of grease and minerals from the pipe. For a thorough and long-lasting cleaning of drains, hydro-jetting technique is more effective than snaking.

3. Perfect for Difficult Places

Plunger cannot be used when drains are slow due to mineral and hair build-up. Snaking is ideal for removing occasional blockages such as food stuck in pipes or toilet paper trapped in the toilet bowl. But, hydro-jetting technique is perfect for every small and big drain pipe of your home.

Is Hydro-Jetting a DIY job?

Hydro-jetting is an ideal technique of cleaning the drains. But, it is not a DIY job. You need to employ the services of an experienced plumbing contractor. Why?

1. Need of Equipment

It involves releasing water with extremely high pressure from 7000 PSI to 60,000 PSI. You will have to buy the hydro-jet equipment for undertaking the cleaning. The equipment is expensive. So, it is a wise financial decision to call a plumber for cleaning the clogged drain instead of buying the equipment.

2. Understanding of Drainage System

A plumbing contractor has knowledge of damaged drains and weak pipes. If you use the powerful hydro-jetting technique without having proper knowledge, you may end up causing grave damage to the drainage system of your home. So, it is important to call an expert.

When you select a plumbing contractor for your home, make sure that he/she has a valid license and wide experience. Do not be in haste. Do some research and make an informed decision.
