About What is drain jetting, and is it better than rodding
locked drains may become a serious problem if it did not get handled properly, and they can also disrupt your daily routine. At Fixhelpia, we provide professional drain cleaning services, and our professionals are working using the most effective techniques (drain jetting and manual rodding). You can choose a service according to your issue condition (you must know about these techniques).
1.About Drain Rodding
Drain rodding is a traditional method that uses flexible rods to break and remove blockages inside pipes. It is commonly used for minor clogs in residential properties.
A technician inserts rods into the drain and rotates them to dislodge debris such as hair or small obstructions.
2.About Drain Jetting
Drain jetting is a new featured technique that uses high water pressure to thoroughly clean pipes for better cleaning, and this is also known as hydro jetting.
A specialised nozzle works to spray high-pressure water to break down grease, debris, and even tree roots while cleaning the entire pipe.
