When danger is afoot, you want to get the best hero for the job.
You wouldn’t contact Aquaman to stop a crime in the desert, and you definitely wouldn’t reach out to Hawkeye to stop a meteor from crashing to Earth (what’s he going to do?). So when you’re struggling with a clogged drain, you want to make sure your plumbers are using the right tools for the job.
At KC Flow Heroes, we have options for treating clogged drains: snaking and hydro-jetting. But what’s the right choice for eliminating your drain clogs? Read on to learn our preferred method for drain cleaning in Overland Park.
Drain Snaking
One method we use to clear clogged drains is the drain snake. The drain snake is an interesting little gadget—at first glance, it might seem more at home in the Batcave than in the toolkit of your friendly neighborhood plumber.
This device uses a thin metal cable to snake through the drain, breaking up any blockages in the pipes, including soap scum, grease, and hair. The drain snake pierces through stubborn clogs, so water can flow freely through your pipes again.
Hydro-Jetting
Another method we use to clear drain blockages is hydro-jetting. Hydro-jetting uses high-powered blasts of water to clear out debris from your drain. Think of a hydro-jet like Iron Man’s repulsor blasts, shooting through rubble and knocking bad guys off their feet.
The high-powered streams of water allow us to scrub your pipes without damaging the walls themselves.
When our team members use hydro-jetting on your drain, it leaves no trace of scum or debris behind. For clients interested in a comprehensive drain cleaning, hydro-jetting is the ideal choice.
The Right Choice for Your Drain
Hydro-jetting and drain snaking are both excellent choices for clearing away clogs, but depending on your needs, one method may be more effective than the other.
Drain snaking is best for smaller blockages and clogs. Whereas we recommend hydro-jetting for drains with more significant blockages or for clients who want to eliminate every trace of debris from their drains.
However, because of the intensity of the hydro-jetting process, it may not be safe for older drainage systems. That said, if your pipes are too fragile for hydro-jetting, we may recommend a comprehensive replacement with pipe lining.
Pipe lining is perhaps the most effective method for preventing drain clogs in the first place. With this one-hole method, we can replace your pipes without removing the existing lines. We cover the pipes with a damp-proof, corrosion-resistant lining and harden it with epoxy resin, reducing the risk of new clogs.
