A clogged up kitchen sink is a problem everyone has experienced at some point. Most people reach for chemicals or a plunger. In most cases, if a plunger won’t fix the problem, chemicals won’t either. Cleaning out the trap will sometimes be the solution. However, serious clogs are usually farther down the pipe and can’t be reached that easily.
Sometimes water will go down the sink and come up in a sink or tub located on the floor below or in the basement. This happens when two drain lines connect before joining the main drain. Water leaves the sink on the upper floor, goes past the lower floor, continues to the clog and backs up into the lower sink. When a washing machine has a problem with water backing up into the tub, it may be caused be a clog in the pipe or possibly by a full septic tank.
Regular maintenance will prevent most serious drain problems, saving a lot of money in the long run. A camera can be put into the drain to see and record what problems there might be. Hydro-jetting utilizes high pressure jetting technology to clear clogs with water at up to 4,000 PSI. Tree roots frequently invade pipes, cause cracks, leaks and clogs. A special attachment on the hydro-jetter can cut the roots out of the sewer line. Repairs can be costly, so finding problems before they become severe is recommended. Residential hydro-jetters can clean up to 300 feet of drain line while commercial equipment can handle up to 500 feet of drain line.
