How Does Hydrojet Drain Cleaning Work?

Hydrojet drain cleaning utilizes high-pressure water streams to clear blockages and buildup in pipes. This method effectively cuts through grease, sediment and debris, restoring flow without damaging the plumbing. By inserting a specialized nozzle into the drain, water is blasted at pressures up to 35,000 psi, scouring the pipe walls clean.

How Do You Fix A Clogged Shower Drain?

To fix a clogged shower drain, start by removing visible debris from the drain opening. Next, try pouring boiling water down the drain to dissolve any soap or grease buildup. If that doesn’t work, use a plunger or a plumber’s snake to dislodge the blockage. For stubborn clogs, a mixture of baking soda and vinegar can be effective.

Remember, regular maintenance can prevent clogs. For more detailed solutions and professional assistance, consider reaching out to Garvin’s for expert drain cleaning services.
