Don’t Ignore Your Drains!

The drains in your house are the 2nd most important part of your plumbing system. Without them, we might as well go back to washing dishes in buckets and using the outhouse! Yeah, it’s great to have running water, but if you don’t have a place to get rid of the water when you’re done with it, you will start to agree with my first statement!

Most people don’t even think about their drains until they are ankle deep in nasty water. They see that their sink (bathtub, shower, toilet, etc.) drains slowly, but as long as the water eventually goes down, they don’t do anything about it. This can be a BIG mistake!

The drains in your house can be compared to your arteries: you can get a buildup of materials on the walls of the pipes that can effect the “health” of your house. Unlike your arteries, AB&R Plumbing can clean out your drains and prevent this buildup from giving you problems.

When you actually have a clog, the most common device to use is called a “snake” or drain machine. This uses a blade on the end of a flexible cable to cut through whatever is causing the clog. The cable rotates and pushes the blade into the pipe, so it can be very effective. It can usually cut through soft blockages, small roots, and other problems. Sometimes, though, the blockage is too severe, or you are trying to do preventative cleaning. For this, you need a jetter.

A jetter shoots high pressure water forward to cut through the clog. It also shoots water backward at an angle so that it hits the walls of the pipe. This high pressure water scours the walls of the pipe clean

AB&R Plumbing has 2 different types of jetters. We have electric “mini-jetters” that operate at as high as 1200 PSI. These are great for smaller pipe sizes and when jetting inside buildings

When you need more muscle, we also have a diesel-powered hydro-jetter that can operate as high as 4000 PSI! This machine can cut through just about anything, it emulsifies grease, pushes rocks, cuts roots! It’s so strong that, with one of the nozzles, it can cut a 2” x 4” in half in about 4 seconds!

If your drains are slow, you might want to think about having them jetted before you have a backup. You know that backups always happen at the worst, most inconvenient, time. If you have your lines jetted, you can schedule it, instead of having to deal with an emergency.

So, save the hassles and extra expense of having a backup. Call AB&R Plumbing and ask about preventative drain cleaning with our hydro-jetters. We can perform this service (and have) in your home, office, condo complex, office park, etc. It doesn't matter if it is your sewer, area drains, storm drains, or almost any other type of drains.

Give us a call today, you'll be glad you did.
