There are few plumbing issues more common or more potentially damaging in the home than drain blockages, and drain cleaning is one of our primary services offered at Whipple Service Champions. In particular, clogs of the main sewage line are especially problematic – they can back up all the way into pipes in your yard, and often require a massive, costly overhaul of your entire plumbing system.
Luckily, we have multiple solutions available for you at Whipple. The two primary forms of drain cleaning are snaking and hydro-jetting: Snaking uses a metal device inserted into your pipes, while hydro-jetting involves a high-pressure water stream to clear out major clogs. Drain snaking is the oldest and most tried-and-tested method – let’s look at some of the pros and cons.
Snaking is a method done with an auger – a steel cable with a coil at one end. The auger is inserted into the drain, and the coil is able to extend and eliminate any blockages in the drain. In most cases, this coil can extend much longer than the actual length of your drain, so there’s no issue with length concerns.
