New Westminster Plumber as Undercover Detective: Specialized Plumbing Tools and Techniques

Our New Westminster plumbers are well-adept across the divide, possessing the equipment and techniques to restore your drain lines to pristine condition. Although you can purchase cheaper knock-offs from plungers to augers from your local home hardware store, these are different from the professional-grade tools we have at our disposal. Besides, you won’t have the dexterity to perform at the same level only to end up damaging your pipes and as a result, pay more for a repair later on. Instead, your trained plumber, New Westminster homeowners should know, has a wide variety of tools, from drills, power augers and taze plungers to wet and dry vacuums.

For example, drain snaking is whereby we use an auger which is a flexible, slender cable with a cone-shaped end that is inserted into your drain pipes and navigated around corners, bends, and crevices until it encounters a clog. Alternatively, a motorized auger with a corkscrew bit is utilized for most clogs and a closet auger for clogged toilets. It cinches the clog using a spiraling motion and slowly pulls the blockage out of the drain. It’s not exactly a failsafe method and this only works for smaller, more shallow clogs as there are times when the auger will only flake bits and pieces of the blockage rather than get rid of it. Plus, if you’re not careful, you can scratch and damage the inside of your pipes, rendering them most susceptible to clogs or leaks. If the blockage is deep beneath your sewer lateral, augering may not be suitable, so the plumbing issue is best resolved using other techniques. Luckily, your local New Westminster plumber has the right plumbing inspection tools at hand.

Say Snapshot: Video Camera Inspection

The general rule of thumb is that the more we thoroughly inspect your drainage pipes, the better an informed and educated decision we can make. Unlike some shoddy contractors who jump to conclusions only to make haphazard and incorrect assumptions, you can rely on our experienced and certified plumbers. New Westminster technicians pull out all the stops for a full diagnosis of your plumbing problem. If an auger just won’t budge the clog, a drain camera inspection is required to capture video footage of what’s brewing and blending inside your pipes. It is a non-invasive inspection technology that allows your New Westminster plumber to magnify all underground pipes, pipes encased in concrete, and supply and drain lines behind walls. A small camera attached to a flexible cable and bright LED light is inserted and maneuvered inside your drain lines to capture real-time and high-definition footage of the debris that’s clinging inside your pipes. As they examine your sewer lateral, for example, they will use it to understand the exact nature of the problem, designating the special location of the baffling plumbing problem. Apart from clogs, the camera can locate tree root intrusion. Detecting cracks and leaky pipe sections will require additional leak detection tools, like acoustic listening and thermographic imaging devices.

Scrub-a-Dub-Dub: Hydro Jetting & Drain Cleaning

New Westminster plumbers rely on this cutting-edge and non-invasive technology: HydroScrub® Jetting. It effortlessly blasts away nasty clogs using high-pressurized steam of water, pulsing away any debris and leaving your pipes clean and clear. The water jets have an intense propulsion of 3,500 psi at 68 liters of water a minute as they leave your pipes spotless. Compared to drain snaking or manually removing the P-trap of a plumbing fixture, this is our go-to drain cleaning solution. It is one of the most sanitary and mess-free procedures for eliminating clogged drains and sewer line clogs, as it breaks through the debris and pushes it directly into the city’s sewer system.

By default, hydro scrubbing also gets rid of any accumulated debris from oils, grease, soap scum, hair, food leftovers, and more. If you purchased your home pre-owned, the previous owners might not have participated in routine maintenance with frequent cleanings with an expert plumber. New Westminster property owners should take advantage as now’s your chance to leave your pipes more hygienic and germ-free. Thorough drain cleaning service is also required prior to comprehensive trenchless repairs, such as pipe relining and bursting.
