There is probably no better tool for blasting clean a sewer or drain than the handy tools called sewer jetters. Using a sewer jetter is basically the same as power washing, except you are forcing the hot water down a pipe. When you plan a drain jetting job, think about the space you have to work in and the size of the job, then making a choice will be much easier.

A sewer jetter is often mounted on wheels and looks a little bit like a generator. You can wheel these smaller units around to several locations if you want to. Larger van mounted ones, just like rug cleaning business, are great for those multi-drain or sewer jobs. Of course, the more drains you have to clean, the worse the smell might be.

Wear a face mask just in case. A home or business owner usually ends up renting a sewer jetter. It's not really a piece of equipment that most of us want to keep around. Of course, it could be worth getting one of those commercial grade sewer jetters if you own a mansion with a lot of bathrooms and you have time on your hands.

If you are thinking about renting a sewer jetter, consider what it will entail and then weigh whether or not the project could be done more quickly and with less mess, by contacting a professional company that can come out to your location, and do the job right with their own sewer jetter.
