Get Rid of Stubborn Clogs in Brighton

No matter what you do, some clogs just won’t quit. And watching your water back up, again and again, is enough to raise anyone’s stress levels. If left as is, your pipes could eventually become completely blocked and send wastewater flowing back into your tub, sink, or toilet. When this happens, you’ll be left with a mess to clean up. In instances where an obstruction isn’t cleared up by typical solutions, including plungers and drain cleaners, it’s a good sign that you need to step things up a notch.

The answer? Hydro jetting (also referred to as ‘hydro-jetting,’ 'hydrojetting,' or ‘water jetting’). This innovative drain cleaning method is effective, safe, and eco-friendly. It also doesn’t end with you tearing up your front yard with a backhoe or an excavator. Though few plumbing companies in the Brighton area are offering this service, J. Mills Plumbing & Water Treatment happens to be one of them. So, if you have a root problem or a stubborn ball of baby wipes that your normal plumber can’t beat, give us a call at (517) 294-3042. For more information about the what, why, and how of hydro jetting, keep reading.

What Exactly is Hydro Jetting?

You’ve probably seen a power washer in action. Hydro jetting is a process that takes the same basic technology and repurposes it to clean hair, roots, grease, and stubborn clogs from your pipes. Like all hydro jetters, our equipment is made up of three parts: a superpowered compressor, a long hose, and a specialized nozzle capable of spraying water out at extremely high pressure, or PSI. Because of the expertise involved, it's a tool best left in the hands of a licensed plumber in the Brighton area.

How Do I Know if Hydro Jetting is for Me?

If you have a clog that resists traditional cabling and snaking in Howell or Howell, hydro jetting should be your next step. To schedule an appointment for hydro jetting, give us a call at (517) 294-3042.

While rooter services and camera inspections can clear surface blockages, they rarely tackle the problem at its source. This is doubly true for reoccurring issues like hard water or root build-up. By punching a larger hole through these and other tough clogs, hydro jetting can help your pipes go longer without relining or replacement. It can also stop those issues from coming back! With all that sticky residue and rust gone, hair and grease will just slide on through.

Can’t I Use Liquid Drain Cleaner to Clear My Drain?

When you use retail store drain cleaners, you often end up doing more harm than good. That’s why you’ll find few plumbers willing to recommend them. But why is the easy way not the best way?

• Chemical drain cleaners are some of the most dangerous chemicals you can buy. They can burn your skin, irritate your lungs, and damage your eyes.
• Many of these liquids damage the lining of your pipes and can increase the likelihood of leaks.
• Store-bought cleaners typically can’t dissolve things like grease and tree roots. In many cases, they just wash the problem into a place that’s even harder to reach.

So, put down the Drano and call a professional Brighton plumber, like J. Mills PLBG today. It'll help protect your pipes and keep you from breathing in noxious chemical fumes.

The Benefits of Brighton Hydro Jetting

J. Mills Plumbing & Water Treatment believes that hydro jetting is one of the best ways to exterminate stubborn clogs. Here are a few advantages it has over more traditional clog-busting methods:

• Speed: The high-pressure nozzle can get your pipes clear in minutes, not hours. This allows you to get back to normal life in Brighton a lot sooner.
• Cost Savings: Lateral pipe clogs and severe root obstructions often mean digging up your pipes. This can cost you thousands of dollars. Hydro jetting gives you an alternative way to deal with these problems.
• Power: A drain snake can’t do much against tree roots, but the same can’t be said for a hydro jetter. The extreme PSI involved means that even the most physically daunting clogs pose no problem.
• Versatility: No matter what kind of clog you have or what your pipes are made of, hydro jetting can help. Unlike snaking, hydro jetting can also tackle issues that other methods can’t reach.
• Permanence: That chemical drain cleaner might work for a couple of weeks. The snaking can help for a little longer. Because it dissolves the root obstructions and mineral buildup that often cause recurring clogs, hydro jetting in Brighton is a long-term solution.
