- MLMarianella LunnDec 30, 20255.0Thank you to Ian and crew for your detection & repair of a cracked sewage pipe. Very professional, and provided comprehensive review of our problem and what was needed to fix it. Especially appreciate the digging crew- Jon, Gabe, Chris. The weather was nasty and these guys showed up, working full shifts. They all answered our MANY questions and were very responsive to our requests. Also thank you to the crew that came and made sure the excavation site was clean and hauled off the excess. I would highly recommend Drainworks to anyone who needs any of the services they offer.
- CSCarl SalinasDec 24, 20255.0I had a main sewer line clog on Christmas Eve and called to see if they could help. They sent Anthony out less than an hour later. He is great! He evaluated the problem, and was able to clear the pipe quickly. He also did a camera inspection to make sure everything looked okay. I can’t appreciate their help enough! If I have any issues in the future, I will be calling them for sure.
Frequently Asked Questions About Air & Drain Works
How Often Does My Water Heater Need Flushing?
For a well-running water heater system, we advise scheduling a cleaning once a year to keep your unit running efficiently. Routine maintenance is proven to extend the lifespan of your water heater. In tanked models, this helps prevent leaks and sediment accumulation.
Extensive cleaning removes unwanted debris and deposits that build up in the tank. Our plumbers can perform a flush treatment that will extend your water heater’s life expectancy.
What Is Hydrojetting And How Can It Help My Drains?
Hydrojetting is an effective way to clear out drain lines and pipes. Hydrojetting pushes a very powerful water jet through your pipes along with sewer lines. It clears out any kind of debris, waste and sludge that may be obstructing your plumbing system. This process is safe and power-balanced for your system.
At Air & Drain Works, we suggest hydrojetting to customers searching for proactive cleaning as well as some cases of clearing harder clogs. Stopping buildup before it occurs is the best way to keep your system clean and healthy.
