Traditional motorized drain snakes are fantastic for retrieving hair clogs or cutting through minor tree roots. However, if your home’s plumbing is severely choked by years of hardened cooking grease, heavy soap scum, or thick mud sludge, a snake will simply poke a small hole through the muck. The water might drain for a few days, but the sludge will quickly collapse and close the hole back up. For these stubborn, recurring blockages, you need absolute power. We are Lewiston, ME’s premier experts in advanced hydrojet drain cleaning. We use industrial-grade, high-pressure water technology to completely obliterate heavy buildup, restoring your pipes to factory-new condition.
When you request our hydrojet drain cleaning service, we deploy a highly specialized machine that acts like a pressure washer for the inside of your plumbing. We feed a flexible, high-pressure hose deep into your heavily clogged sewer or kitchen line. Attached to the end is a specialized nozzle that blasts water at up to 4,000 PSI in a 360-degree, reverse-spray pattern.
The kitchen sink line is typically the most abused pipe in any home. Even if you are careful, microscopic amounts of oils, fats, and grease (FOG) wash down the drain daily. When this warm liquid grease hits the cold pipes beneath your house, it congeals into a rock-hard white paste. Hydrojetting is the only scientifically effective way to completely wash and remove this hardened FOG buildup from your residential plumbing lines without digging up your floors to replace the pipe.
If you live in an older home with original cast-iron plumbing, the inside of your pipes look like jagged, rusty coral reefs. This "scale" constantly snags toilet paper and causes repetitive backups. Our technicians use high-pressure hydrojetting to safely grind and blast that jagged rust away. We smooth the interior of the cast-iron pipe, significantly extending its lifespan and preventing future clogs without requiring an expensive pipe replacement.
"We had a recurring backup issue in our kitchen for months. They came out, ran the hydrojet drain cleaning machine, and blasted years of solid white grease completely out of the pipe. It flows like a brand-new house now."
"My old cast-iron pipes were backing up every few weeks. They used their heavy-duty hydrojetter to descale the rust and wash the line completely clean. Best plumbing service I have ever hired. Honest and very effective."
"A massive grease and root ball blocked our main sewer line on a Saturday. They arrived fast, ran the camera to show me the problem, and hydrojetted it completely clear. I highly recommend them for any tough clogs."
The Lewiston area traces its roots to 1669 with the early presence of the Androscoggin tribe (the namesake of the county in which the city resides). In the late 18th century, in 1795, Lewiston was incorporated as Lewistown. The presence of the Androscoggin River and Lewistown Falls made the town an attractive area for manufacturing and hydro-power businesses. The rise of Boston rail and textile tycoon Benjamin Bates saw rapid economic growth rivaling that of Cambridge, Worcester, and Concord. Irish immigrants were recruited to build the railroad links and dig the canals for the textile mills. The Irish stayed, and worked the mills and established flourishing businesses, as evidenced by the McGillicuddy, Callahan, and other Blocks and the St.Joseph's and St.Patrick's churches. In the 1850 Census Lewiston was fully 23% Irish born. The increase in economic stimulus prompted thousands of Quebecers to migrate, causing a population boom; the populace rose from 1,801 in 1840 to 21,701 in 1890. In 1855, local preacher Oren Burbank Cheney founded the Maine State Seminary, the first coeducational university in New England and one of the first universities to admit black students before the Emancipation Proclamation. Lewistown quickly became associated with the liberal arts and was incorporated as "Lewiston" in 1864, a year before the college was chartered as Bates College.
