How We Fix Clogged Drains

Northwoods provides a complete pipe cleaning service utilizing the latest in pipe cleaning technology. We are able to quickly and effectively resolve any pipe that needs clearing. How do we do it?

Video Inspection

Cleaning a pipe using a video camera to first inspect is the most effective and accurate way of locating and removing the blockage from the problem area. We use our video equipment to locate and precisely mark the exact location on the surface along with the depth, direction, and length of the pipe. Upon a recorded video inspection, it might reveal damaged pipe, root or soil matter, or some manmade debris.

Hydro Jetting

Once we pinpoint the location of the blockage we then assess the best approach to clear the pipe. In cases where mud, soil or root debris is present hydro jetting might be the most effective method to solve the problem. Hydro jetting utilizes a water hose with a specifically designed nozzle to maximize pressure which cuts through the roots and debris clogging the pipe. Typically hydro jetting will do the job, but in some cases an auger may be required to remove blockage.

Drain Augering

A drain auger, commonly referred to as a snake, is a coiled metal cable which can be equipped with a variety of root cutting fittings to help unclog pipes. We use a high powered electric motorized auger machine when hydro jetting alone cannot clear the blockage.
