Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is Hydro Jetting and how does it differ from snaking?
While a drain snake or auger simply punches a hole through a blockage, Hydro Jetting uses high-pressure water (up to 4,000 PSI) to scrub the entire interior of the pipe. It removes grease, scale, and even invasive tree roots, providing a long-term solution rather than a temporary fix.
Are “flushable wipes” really safe for my Wilmington home’s plumbing?
Despite the label, flushable wipes are a leading cause of major blockages in Wilmington. Unlike toilet paper, they do not break down quickly in water. In our coastal environment, they often get snagged on pipe imperfections or grease, leading to costly sewer backups.
Why should I avoid DIY chemical drain cleaners?
Most chemical cleaners use harsh acids that can actually damage your pipes—especially older cast-iron or clay pipes common in Wilmington’s Historic District. Furthermore, they are often ineffective against heavy grease or root intrusions and can be hazardous to the environment and our technicians.
