Hydro-Jetting
For some drains hydro-jetting is usually inappropriate and
excessive, such as shower, tub and sometimes lavatory
stoppages, which are usually caused by soap congealing with
hair. The smallest flexible drain machine cable will usually
corkscrew onto the hairball and resolve the blockage.
For commercial applications we can employ Enz Swiss made
rotary spinning jetting nozzles that describe an eccentric
arc of high pressure and/or high volume of water to loosen
and flush debris out that most other hydro-flushers cannot.
Dave Bischof himself has designed special compact
hydrojetters that we use that are remarkably superior to the
very poorly performing electric hydrojetters.
Whether it is cabling, hydro-jetting or hydro-flushing for
your home, restaurant or commercial facility, you can trust
us to have all the proper equipment, the expertise and
experience to offer proper resolution to your drain
problems.Most plumbing firms who perform drain stoppage
remediation use the customary cable machines. The problem is
that they do a very poor job of actually removing all the
debris from a drain pipe. That’s why I ethical firms avoid
using the term “cleaning” to describe cable/snake use as it
is misleading.
Take a kitchen drain stoppage as an example. It’s usually
caused by years of organic debris accumulating in a 1.5”- 2”
diameter old galvanized steel drain pipe. The typical
corrosion on the inside of this material can create the
rough surface that can facilitate adhesion of food products
just like sanding a surface helps paint stick better.
Sending a cable down into the drain may only mechanically
loosen debris in small diameter cross section equivalent to
the diameter of the cable head or the circumference of the
cable arc after bending a dogleg in the cable aft of the
cable head. At best this may remove a substantial portion of
the buildup, but some stoppages are so gooey they are like a
firm jelly, and cabling such has no effect. Imagine a jar of
jelly and you poked your finger into it and pulled it back
out......a hole may be left where your finger pushed in but
the jar is still full of jelly. That is what some drains are
like, especially residential kitchen and restaurant facility
drains. |
