The same drain has backed up three times this month and you are tired of dealing with it. You tried the plunger. You tried the stuff from the store. It worked for a few days and then the sink filled up again. The reason it keeps happening is not bad luck, it is because nothing you used actually cleaned the pipe. It just poked a hole through the middle and left all the grease and gunk on the walls right where it was. Hydrojet drain cleaning is what removes it. A plumber runs high pressure water through the pipe and the walls come out clean. Not just clog everything. Before you call Plumber Colorado Springs, read this first.
Picture a long hose with a special tip on the end. A machine forces water through that hose at very high pressure. The tip fires water forward to break up whatever is blocking the pipe. At the same time it fires water backward to push all of it out through the sewer line. When the hose comes back out, the pipe is scrubbed clean on every side.
No chemicals go in at any point. No digging. No tearing up the floor or the yard. A plumber feeds the hose in through an opening in your plumbing and the water does the rest.
Here is what makes it worth calling about:
Here is the whole process from start to finish.
Before the hose goes anywhere near the pipe a camera goes in first so the plumber can see what is actually in there, and this step is what makes hydrojet drain cleaning safe to do because it shows if the pipe is in good enough shape to handle high pressure water. Where is the blockage sitting. What caused it. Is the pipe old or cracked. Old pipes and pipes that are already falling apart can get badly damaged by high pressure water if nobody checks first, and this step is what stops that from happening before it does.
The plumber looks at what the camera showed and picks the right tip for the hose and sets the pressure for whatever is in the pipe. Grease and roots need different amounts of pressure and different tips to clear properly.
Tips used based on what is inside:
The hose goes in through a drain opening that is already part of your plumbing. No special cutting or opening up the walls. If that opening is not available the plumber finds another way in. The hose bends through curves in the pipe without any problem.
The machine starts and water blasts the blockage apart from the front while everything that breaks loose gets pushed out through the back and down the sewer line. The hose moves slowly through the full length of the pipe so the walls get hit and washed clean on every side. This is the part that separates hydrojet drain cleaning from everything else — a snake makes a hole, this washes the pipe.
The plumber puts the camera back in after the job is done to check the pipe is actually clear. A good clogged drain cleaning service does this every time. You get to see the inside of the pipe yourself and know the job got done right.
Leaves, dirt, mud, and roots end up in outdoor drains all year. An outdoor drain cleaning service using this method does not just push through the roots — it cuts them out and flushes the pipe completely. It holds up a lot longer than a snake job on an outdoor line.
Grease goes through restaurant drain pipes all day every day. Hotels and office buildings run their plumbing hard from morning to night. Commercial drain cleaning services using high pressure water keep those systems running instead of backing up every few weeks and pulling staff away from work to deal with it.
Most drain problems start with what people put in them. These things cause most of the buildup that ends up needing a full clean to fix:
That drain is not going to sort itself out. Hydrojet drain cleaning fixes why it keeps backing up instead of just giving you a few good days before the problem is back. Kitchen drain packed with grease, outdoor pipe full of roots, commercial system that runs all day high pressure water handles all of it.
Good drain cleaning companies in Colorado Springs check the pipe with a camera before every job. That is how you know what is going on inside before work starts and how you know the fix is going to actually hold this time.
Not always. Cracked pipes and very old pipes can get worse under high pressure. The camera check before the job is what finds that out so the plumber knows what to do before the hose goes anywhere near it.
One to two hours covers most jobs. A badly blocked line or a bigger commercial system can take a bit more time based on what the camera picks up.
Every couple of years is right for most homes. Commercial drain cleaning services for restaurants and busy buildings should happen more often given how hard those lines run every day.
Yes. The root-cutting tip cuts right through them and flushes everything out. Roots grow back over time but they come out completely during the job.
Camera, hydrojet machine, hose, spinning tips, root-cutting tips, and a pipe finder. The right drain cleaning tools on the truck is what makes the difference between a job that holds and one that needs doing over again next month.
