What Are Some Methods Used to Clean a Drain?
When it comes to cleaning a drain, you may come across these three approaches/methods of drain cleaning.
Hydro Jetting
Hydro jetting is a modern, eco-friendly, way of cleaning out a drain and eliminating large blockages. Hydro jetting involves using a highly pressurized hose with a nozzle at the front that releases up to 5,000 PSI of pressure to blast away any blockages in the way.
Snaking
Drain snakes, which are also known as drain augers, are useful devices that can effectively clean out most major clogs from sinks without the need for harsh chemical use. Its function is similar to a corkscrew except on a long flexible line. The drain is being de-clogged by a coil of wire, and as it goes down, it eliminates the area of obstruction
