If you have begun to notice your drains haven’t been doing their job properly or been experiencing some of the symptoms of a clogged drain, chances are you have been considering calling your local plumbing service to help clean your pipes and restore them to working order.

There is more than one option to turn to for fixing this situation you and your family may be in, however, our team at Sewer Surgeons recommends hot water jetting above the rest. It is the pipe cleaning of choice for our professional plumbing technicians to get your plumbing back up and running when they are being bogged down by accumulating organic matter.

Here are 3 simple reasons why:

1. Liquid drain cleaners contain chemicals that work to burn away the blockage. They are enzymatic based and can react with the pipe itself while it is burning away the clog.
2. Pipes that are already compromised can become weakened or even more damaged by liquid drain cleaners. If corrosion is present, the chemicals in the cleaner can further flare up the corrosion and cause it to eat away at the pipe faster than before.
3. As the drain cleaner makes its way to the clog, it can eat away at the enamel and other expensive finishes in your kitchen where you are using the cleaner. Examples of these surfaces would be the material of the sink itself, or beautifully decorated countertops. Repetitive use can cause irreversible damage to certain surfaces.

Using liquid drain cleaner not only provides you with the chance to rid your pipes of the clogs,yet can often make them worse. By using our hot water hydro jetting system, we can blast clogs out of your pipes using only the pressure of the jetting machine! This process bypasses the use of any corrosive chemicals and can provide a thorough clean that can last many more years to come.

Next time you think to buy that bottle of liquid drain cleaner, don’t! Pick up the phone and give Sewer Surgeons a call at 862-354-8290 to schedule an evaluation of your pipes and perform a hot water hydro jetting pipe cleaning that will really get the job done right.
