Using a cabling machine to clear a clog has been a staple in the plumbing industry for a very long time. And while cabling can bore through a clog, it is not unusual for plumbers and drain cleaners to return to service the same drain for the same problem later.

Clearing blockages with high pressure jetting by trained and skilled technicians produces the best results. Cleaning the drains completely is only accomplished with hot water jetting combined with eco-friendly detergents that will continue to treat the buildup of fats, oils and grease with biological enzymes that feed on the FOG — keeping drains clear and offering plumbing professionals residual income in the form of a drain line maintenance program.

Vinny Rouchi, owner of Silver Star Plumbing in Las Vegas, Nevada, has run nearly every brand of jetter on the market. He chose the HotJet II trailer jetter to give him an edge when it comes to clearing tough grease clogs. His trailer-mounted HotJet USA water jetter — outfitted with hot-water capability — makes short work of tough drain cleaning problems. It’s a story that gets relayed to HotJet USA constantly.

“Most times, the HotJet II does a job about twice as fast as using cold water,” Rouchi says. “It’s especially good for cleaning out grease trap lines. The hot water gets heated to a temperature of 140 degrees and it liquefies the grease. I’ve used both cold and hot water and there’s a big-time difference. With cold water you can spend a lot of time working in one small area and it can create clogs in the rest of line — chunks of grease hook up together farther down the line and form another clog. But by using hot water, that doesn’t happen because it’s liquefied.” 

Rouchi says technicians can do jobs twice as fast, which means more time, and time is more valuable than money. “Even if we get in just one more job a week because of that, we’re making $1,400 to $1,600 more revenue per week.”

Nobody likes to have to call a plumber to clean out an impossible drain clog. But once the plumber has not only completely cleaned the line and treated the line with a drain additive like 3n1 Total-C, customers keep calling to maintain their restored, healthy drain. 3n1 Total-C is a specially formulated drain line additive that uses all natural ingredients to eat away at FOG, keeping drains clear, pleasant smelling and clean. Plumbers who offer a drain line maintenance program have seen their revenues increase up to 31% per month.
