What Is Advanced Drain Cleaning — and Why Does It Matter?
Standard drain cleaning uses a cable auger to punch through a blockage. Advanced drain cleaning goes further — diagnosing the root cause, clearing it completely, and preventing it from coming back. At Advanced Drains and Underground Solutions, that’s the only way we work.
Our Advanced Drain Cleaning Methods
- Hydro-jetting — High-pressure water (up to 4,000 PSI) scours grease, roots, and buildup from pipe walls. Unlike snaking, it restores full pipe diameter.
- Camera inspection — We run a live video probe to locate the exact source of the problem before we touch anything. No guesswork, no repeat visits.
- Root cutting — Mechanical root removal for sewer lines invaded by tree roots, paired with camera confirmation the line is clear.
- Preventive flush — Scheduled maintenance cleans to keep commercial kitchens and multi-unit buildings flowing year-round.
