If you have recently encountered a severe drain or sewer blockage, you may have come across online advertisements promoting drain service specials priced at $99, $89, or even $69 in your search results. Although these discounted offers may capture your attention, it is important to closely examine them as cheap drain service companies often fail to disclose the complete details. Be wary of the following deceptive pricing strategies commonly employed in sewer and drain cleaning services:

• The discounted pricing typically covers only the initial 25 feet of pipe or a similar length. However, most sewer systems are considerably longer, resulting in higher-than-anticipated charges for each additional foot of pipe. In contrast, AAJDS guarantees transparent pricing without any additional fees. We provide an accurate, upfront, in-person quote, ensuring that you are fully aware of the exact cost before we commence the work.
• Additional unexpected expenses such as trip fees, stairway fees, equipment fees, extended cable fees, and overtime fees can swiftly accumulate to several hundred dollars when you receive the final invoice from other service providers. AAJDS ensures that you won't encounter any surprise costs. You will only pay the quoted price, regardless of whether it takes us 30 minutes or half a day to complete the job.
• Inadequate drain service merely creates a small opening in the blockage, leaving the pipe dirty and the clog mostly intact. This approach temporarily restores the flow of water but fails to address the underlying issue, creating a cycle where the plumbing company can return later to charge you again, often without any guarantee. At AAJDS, we not only restore the flow of your drain but also thoroughly clean the entire length of the drainpipe, preventing rapid reformation of clogs. Our expert drain cleaners guarantee a comprehensive solution, ensuring your satisfaction.

A little known fact about roots is that they will travel long distances when water is scarce, such as during droughts and in winter months. When shrubs and trees get thirsty, they follow moisture vapors that escape through small cracks or poorly-sealed joints in sewer and water lines, penetrating the pipe.

Plant root systems are comprised of large, permanent roots used to support and stabilize, and smaller, temporary feeder roots. These smaller roots are what absorbs water and nutrients. Most roots sits in the top 6-18 inches of soil, where they can access the nutrients, oxygen, and water needed for the plant to grow. How quickly the plant grows depends on factors such as soil depth, aeration, water supply, temperature, and mineral supply.

To reliably calculate how far out a root system stretches, you can estimate that roots typically extend two to three times the height of the tree, though they can reach as far as seven times the tree’s height. Larger, more mature trees may have up to thousands of feet of root system. Roots are usually more far reaching in well-drained or sandy soils than in clay soils.

If left unchecked, the roots can fill the pipe entirely in hair-like masses at each entry point. These root masses then trap grease, toilet tissue, and other debris flowing from homes and businesses down to the main sewer. The end result: slowed drains and reduced sewer flow. If the roots are not removed and their growth is left unchecked, a complete blockage can occur.

Once roots have made their way into the pipe, they grow and expand, which puts pressure on and widens their entry point. This often results in the breaking of the pipe and can result in the total collapse, which then must be fixed or replaced entirely.

Some pipe materials are more accessible than others for root intrusion. Clay tile pipe is easily invaded and damaged by tree roots. Concrete piping and PVC pipe may also be penetrable, but are sturdier than clay pipe. PVC often has fewer joints, and the tight-fitting nature of its joints makes it less likely to leak.

Washing grease down the drain is the number one cause of cast iron degradation.

Cast iron pipe descaling uses a specialized machine with a high speed rotating cable. This process makes it possible to scrape away build-up from the inner walls of a cast iron pipe. AAJDS's customers gets a free video inspection after the job is done. Cast iron pipe descaling most often prologs the life of the cast iron pipe.

You should descale your cast iron plumbing pipes when your pipes show signs of corrosion. In residential use cast iron pipes should last 50 to 75 years.

Depending on how severe the clog is and how dirty the walls of your pipe are, hydro jetting cost vary. We provide free estimates on hydro jetting services.

Hydro jetting is a method to remove dirt, build up and blockages on pipes using pressurized water through a jet nozzle.
Hydro jetting systems use pressures starting as low as 4,000 pounds per square inch to as high as 60,000 psi, depending on the severity of the blockage.
The most common nozzles used are flat jet nozzles, point jet nozzles and rotating nozzles.

The hydro jet applies pressurized water to blast through blockages in a sewer line. It is one of the best ways to remove blockages caused by debris, dirt, grease and other foreign objects. Make sure that the line you are working on leads to the sewer and does not dead-end.
Locate the sewer opening in your yard. If you do not know where it is exactly located start with the bathroom floor drain. Insert a plumbers snake into the sewer line and turn the handle. This will start the process of removing the clog. Now you can start getting the hydro jet ready. Always wear protective gear, gloves and googles. Follow the instructions from the hydro jet manufacturer. Please be also advised that harmful bacteria can spray back at you so wear the protective gear. Insert the hydro jet's nozzle into the opening of the sewer line. Start spraying the hydro jet into the sewer line. Once the hydro jet hits the clog, water will spray back at you. When the water is running easily through the sewer line, then the clog is removed.
If you have a problem with a clogged drain call the professionals at All American Jetting & Drain Services. We provide a free video inspection after every hydro jetting job.

Hydrojetting is the procedure of using high pressured water to clean the interior surfaces of the plumbing pipes, removing scale, grease and other dirt that built up inside the walls of the pipe.

AAJDS will check your system to find the perfect spot to insert a hose and to insert high pressurized water. This will force the debris to flow down the sewer system and out of your home's pipes . Hydrojetting should be done by a professional because your pipes can get damaged, which results in a high repair bill. AAJDS has the right experience and tools to hydrojet your system and provide a free video inspection after the job is completed. This guarantees quality work and piece of mind.

Sometimes hydro jetting can clear tree root penetration. If AAJDS determines with the help of a video inspection that the damage is minimal, hydro jetting can be a successful option. If the tree roots penetration is too extensive and water is leaking the pipes an augering service might be needed to cut up the roots.

Hydro jetting removes all debris from the inside of the pipes and removes all clogs. It only uses the power of pressurized water to scrub the inside of the pipe walls with its nozzle. High quality is guaranteed with AAJDS's free video inspection, after the hydro jetting job is completed. Snaking on the other hand breaks clogs apart and does not flush out sticky debris.

Hydro Jetting removes all kind of dirt from the pipes including hair clogs, mineral deposits, grease, food deposits, sand, silt and sometimes tree roots depending on how advanced the roots are.

You need hydro jetting when:

• Your plumbing system back up regularly
• your bathroom or kitchen sink drain smells.
• You get a lot of clogs even though you watch what you put down your drain
• Your drain is running slow
• You hear a lot of gurgling in your pipes
