There are many ways to clear a clogged sewer drain and other pipes, without the use of snakes and chemicals. One that is growing in popularity is called hydrojet cleaning. Hydrojet is used for a wide variety of cleaning projects from automobiles, concrete, and sewer cleaning jobs. Dallas plumbers say that it does not use harsh chemicals and can be done by the home-owner or by professional plumbers. This is considered far more environmentally friendly than most other methods of drain clearing. Hydrojet drain cleaning uses a hose connected to a powerful nozzle. The water comes out of the nozzle at a staggering 35,000psi, more than 700 times more powerful than the water pressure that feeds your entire house. This powerful blast of water removes clogs and can clean your drain lines better than other methods. The nozzle is pushed down the drain and guided to the clogged area, once in place the water is turned on and the clogs are broken up and the pipes cleared of debris.

The old method of cleaning out drain lines, especially sewage lines, involved drilling a hole close to the location of the clog and digging the clog out by hand. This was a time consuming, messy, and inefficient way of trying to clear drains. If they were wrong about the location of the clog, the number of clogs, or the length of the clog the work would not provide the desired results. Hydrojet cleaning has many advantages over the older methods.

You, or the plumbing professional, do not have to cut or drill into existing pipes. This hit-or-miss method would often leave roots, that grew through the plastic pipes, intact and would increase the chances of future clogs. Hydrojet cleaning offered by many professional plumbers can clear away all of the root, not just small section. This saves time and provides for a much more thorough cleaning and makes the pipes cleaner and less likely to clog again quickly according to Boston plumbers. This type of cleaning does not just clear the clog, but cleans the walls of the pipes, making it harder for clogs to form. Cleaning the sides is a key component in preventing future clogs.

Unlike powered snakes and other clog clearing tools, the hydrojet is incredibly versatile. Different nozzle sizes allow it to be pushed through smaller pipes than traditional cleaning methods. This makes it perfect for snaking into P-traps and other bends. The insertion point does not have to be somewhere in the pipe, but can be at the actual fixture. San Diego plumbers say that the smaller nozzles make it easy to get the hose right to the clog, where it will do the most good. Different nozzles may also focus water straight in front, to punch a hole in the clog, or focus the spray to the sides, to clean. There are many nozzle configurations for different situations.

Plumbing professionals can use hydrojet for routine maintenance, as well as for dislodging clogs. By using hydrojets on a routine annual basis, home-owners keep their lines clean and clear. Clean lines are less likely to develop clogs and it is less likely you will need to make an emergency call to you plumber. As part of your routine maintenance, the hydrojet can add life to your plumbing and reduce your over all plumbing expenses.
