Drain Cleaning: How Experts Do It Differently

When facing clogged drains, do you turn to DIY solutions or expert services? Although choosing the former can help you save some money, they can often yield ineffective results. Homeowners are also more likely to do harm to their drains and pipes than good through DIY drain cleaning.

As your trusted plumber in San Jose, CA, EJ Home Services can restore proper flow using techniques that cannot be matched by DIY. Here are some ways we do drain cleaning differently.

Advanced Tools for a Deeper Clean

DIY drain cleaning can be great at providing temporary relief against minor clogs, easily achieved using a common tool like a plunger. Unfortunately, DIY often fails to remove deep blockages or buildup clinging to pipe walls.

This is one problem that you can avoid when you hire technicians from a reputable plumbing company. At EJ Home Services, we eliminate all types of drain buildup using hydro jetting machines, which blast high-pressure water through pipes to eliminate grease, mineral buildup, and tree roots. We also utilize motorized drain augers to break through tough clogs that a standard household snake can’t reach.

Camera Inspections for Precise Diagnosis

Cleaning your drains yourself often involves lots of wasted time as you guess exactly where the clog is located within the pipe. With professional drain cleaning, you avoid the guesswork.

Plumbers often start with a camera inspection, where they insert a small, waterproof camera into your pipes to pinpoint the exact cause and location of the issue. This ensures the right solution is applied to your plumbing without wasting any time.

Long-Term Prevention, Not Just Quick Fixes

A big difference between DIY and professional drain cleaning is the focus on prevention. Our plumbers don’t just clear clogs; they assess your plumbing’s overall health. We also give recommendations to keep your drains running smoothly.
