Frequently Asked Questions:

• Are chemical drain cleaners safe for my pipes?
  
  No. Over-the-counter chemical cleaners generate intense heat that can warp PVC pipes, corrode older metal lines, and fail to completely clear organic blockages. Professional mechanical snakes or hydro-jetting are far safer.
• What is hydro-jetting and when is it needed?
  
  Hydro-jetting uses ultra-high-pressure water streams to blast away years of grease, scale build-up, and tree roots from your main drain line, restoring the pipe to like-new interior condition.
• How can I prevent my kitchen sink drain from clogging continually?
  
  Avoid pouring fats, oils, or heavy grease down the drain, and never put fibrous foods (like celery, coffee grounds, or potato peels) down your garbage disposal.
