Unclog Drain

Hydro-jetting cleaners are the cutting-edge solution for tackling even the toughest drain blockages with precision and efficiency. Harnessing the power of high-pressure water jets, these advanced systems blast away debris, grease, and buildup, restoring optimal flow to your plumbing system. At 24/7 SF Handyman & Hauling Service. we offer expert hydro-jetting services to keep your drains clear and your home running smoothly.

1. Auger cleaners

Motor-driven augers come in a range of sizes, from handheld units to truck-mounted units. They operate the same as handheld augers with an effective range of up to several hundred feet. Smaller units are effective in applications with small-diameter piping, while technicians can use larger units effectively in piping sizes ranging up to those found in main sewers.

2. Air-burst cleaners

Air-burst drain cleaners use air, carbon dioxide or other gas to disintegrate or dislodge a clog. The unit directs the pressurized gas into the piping, where it directs a force through the standing water at the clog. Units are available that use small, built-in compressors or carbon dioxide cartridges to produce the initial burst of gas pressure.

One primary advantage of air-burst cleaners is their ability to quickly clear clogs. Chemical cleaners typically take time to attack the blockage, sometimes requiring several hours. They are most effective in drain lines filled with water and can reach blockages located some distance down the piping. Their main drawbacks are that they are not as effective in applications where the piping is dry or in large-diameter piping, such as main sewer lines.

3. Hydro-jetting cleaners

Hydro-jetting drain cleaners use high-pressure water streams to break up clogs. The technician feeds a hosepipe fitted with a nozzle into the drain. High-pressure water pumped into the hose is forced out through the nozzle. With pressures as high as 35,000 psi, the energy from the water is effective in clearing blockages. Unlike most other drain cleaners, hydro-jetting cleaners can be used on long drain pipes, limited only by the length of the hosepipe. They also are effective on most common blockages, whether organic or inorganic

In addition to being able to clear blockages, these cleaners can effectively remove most contaminants, including grease and oils, from the interior of a pipe. This feature makes them effective preventive maintenance tools. Drain lines routinely exposed to potentially clogging contaminants can be hydro-jetted regularly, eliminating the conditions within the pipe that tend to lead to clogs.

One version of the hydro-jetting cleaner, known as the pulse jetter, operates similarly but uses pressure pulses to break up the blockages in the pipe.
