For new homeowners and people living in condos or apartments, dealing with a clogged drain can be a daunting experience. One of the most common tools used to tackle this issue is a drain snake, also known as a plumbing auger. But how exactly does a drain snake work, and when should you consider using a professional service like hydro-jetting?
In our last post, we talked about the importance of arranging for preventive drain cleaning in your home to prepare it for the big feasting holidays. In this post, we want to focus on why you only want professionals to do this drain cleaning job. It’s not something you can do by pouring bottles of chemical “drain cleaners” down all the drains in your home. Those chemicals are actually quite bad for drains and won’t do a thorough job.
No, you need the pros—and you specifically need pros who use hydro-jetting in Atlanta, GA homes for the best results. We’re experts when it comes to using hydro-jetting equipment, and today we want to explain what this technology is and why we use it for our customers.
