Why a Pressure Washer Makes a Better Drain Cleaner

With so many options available, finding the right drain cleaner for your home may be a dilemma. Individual choices meant to perform specific functions are myriad, but if you are considering a single product that can execute a number of the actions needed to rescue your pipe from clogs, then you may want to invest in a jetter. A jetter is a type of pressure washer that can be used as a drain cleaner. Read on to find out why this type of pressure washer is the better choice for eliminating clogs.

• It can easily blast solid particles to smithereens. Compared to plumbing snakes that partially disintegrate solids in areas within the reach of an auger end only, a jetter is a more relentless and merciless drain cleaner. It capitalizes on pressure that is so great that no stubborn solid is likely to survive the impact and come out as the same whole piece. Note that plumbing snakes work best in bathroom and kitchen sinks alone. If your problem is a clogged toilet, a plumbing snake is not the solution.

• It can flush waste water and solid waste in a steady stream. Powered by electricity or gas, the jetter relies on the consistent pulsating action of either hot or cold water to steadily guide the waste water and the disintegrated solids from the pipe straight to the tank. Utilizing a plunger all day long can be a serious back-breaking task. The flushing job from this mechanical drain cleaner is erratic and crude so unless you have a penchant for all things old-fashioned, you may want to keep the plunger for minor pressure problems and for backup purposes.
• It can give the pipe clogs a thorough licking. Like a fastidious bully, the jetter makes use of pressure to ensure that no portion of the pipe’s innards remains unexplored, untouched and uncleaned. Remember that pouring a dose of organic solution or caustic drain cleaner unclogs only the parts of the pipe where the solution passes through. Although this arrangement seems to work for most homes, it fails to rid the untouched portions of the pipe of possible mildew growth and fatty deposits. In addition, it speeds up the tendency of the pipe to get holes, beginning on portions where wear and tear is more concentrated.
• It can dig deep like a mole. The jetter is no double agent but it possesses the ability to penetrate the deepest and most convoluted pipes such as those in restaurants, big industries and other complicated setups. The jetting equipment comes with a sewer jetter hose which can be fitted inside the pipe for some farther-reaching unclogging action. In this way, no dirt down under remains unattended. How deep is deep? Up to one hundred feet.

Sporting the functions of a plumbing snake, a garden hose and a plunger, a pressure washer is the ultimate powerhouse combo for blasting solids, flushing waste and cleaning pipes at a depth and reach that no ordinary drain cleaner can. Its versatility and multitasking capability are unparalleled, making a pressure washer a worthwhile investment for unclogging your pipes.
