  Sewer/Drain Cleaning

  Your drains are an essential part of your home plumbing system. From the shower to the dishwasher to the basement, drains provide convenient outlets for waste water to empty into your sewer system and out of your home. The only time you even notice your drains is when something goes wrong, like a nasty clog. drain cleaning While some clogs are caused by a single object that slips down a drain, most are caused by deposits that build up over time to line pipe walls and cause clogs. The best way to prevent these clogs is with regular cleaning to keep drains clear. Of course, we know that not everyone has diligently kept up with drain maintenance, so it’s important to call for professional drain cleaning at the first sign of trouble. Either way, the Southern Illinois area drain cleaning technicians at A & W Plumbing & Heating, Inc. have the expertise needed to keep your drains flowing freely. Whether routine maintenance, cleaning, or an emergency removal of a heavy clog, we can make sure any drain we encounter is running smoothly before we leave. Our drain cleaning services include a thorough video inspection utilizing a specialized camera into the main sewer line to check for any buildup. If necessary, these deposits can be cleared using a number of different technologies. When we come to your home to clean a clogged drain, we’ll clean your drains using one of our proven methods. Depending on where the clog is and what it turns out to be made of, one type of cleaning may work better than another. For simpler clogs like the common ones in your kitchen or bathroom, a pipe snake will often do the trick. A snake is long flexible piece of metal or plastic with a catch on the end. This gets “snaked” down the drain until it catches the clog, and then is pulled back up with the clog in tow.

Most people are familiar with compression faucets, which are outfitted with a handle that turns in order to block or unblock the flow of water, and relies on a rubber washer to prevent leaks.

  Hydro Water Jetting

  Hydro Water Jetting is a drain cleaning process by which water is compressed to 4000 PSI (pounds per square inch) and delivered through a variety of specialized nozzles, to restore the flow of sanitary sewer systems. Jetting is the next generation in sewer line cleaning and maintenance. Standard drain cleaning equipment, commonly referred to as rodding utilizes steel rods and mechanical force to remove clogs and puncture through stoppages. Pressurized water jetting utilizes the force of water to actually scour the inside of your piping system and return it to like new condition. Hydro water jetting not only restores flow but can emulsify heavy residue such as grease, soap, and solid build-ups. After some years, these substances can build up in your drains and choke the flow of your system and eventually cause a complete blockage. This is not the kind of blockage you can fix yourself, and not even a situation where you can use a drain snake to completely unclog your drain. Locating the Problem: Hydro water jetting is more effective when we know exactly where the blockage has occurred; a skilled technician from A & W Plumbing & Heating, Inc. will be dispatched to your location in Southern Illinois, where a on site evaluation needs to take place. The technician will ask a series of questions, and perform a visual inspection of property and facility or home affected by current situation. Once the problem has been located, our qualified team from A & W Plumbing & Heating, Inc. will utilize our state of the art water jetting equipment to resolve your problem. The hydro-jetting head thrusts itself forward through the drain with reverse jets that spray out of the back of the cleaning nozzle. When the nozzle encounters the blockage, it breaks down the blockage with a forward jet of water, when the technician pulls back on the hose, the rear jets turn into cleaning jets and scour the pipe clean. Hydro Water Jetting is the most effective way to restore your piping systems with the longest lasting results. This kind of cleaning is especially effective for kitchen sinks, restaurants, hotels, condominium buildings, hospitals, municipalities, and privately owned and maintained sanitary sewer system(s) ranging from 2” to 16” in diameter, with distances extending to 600 linear feet. Longer Lasting Results: hydro water jettingWhile not a permanent solution, hydro water jetting is a superior maintenance method when compared to standard drain cleaning service as it scours the inside of your sewer line for restored capacity instead of just puncturing a hole through the blockage. Due to the effective cleaning mechanism of our hydro water jetting system your maintenance can last up to four times longer as when compared to basic drain cleaning services. When compared to the price difference, hydro water jetting not only works more efficiently, but will cost less over time.
