silver blade
deanwinchesterxfem!reader
summary: reader heroically kills a shapeshifter to save Dean, but not without getting hurt in the process. When the blood covering the reader's hands, nearly triggers a panic attack, Dean is quick to comfort her.
word count: 2.4k
warnings: gore, not natural creatures (if u know, u know), anxiety, panic attack, blood, grotesque killing, wounds, emotional shock. could be read as romantic or platonic.
a/n: i live for hurt/comfort fics. also, i thrive on feedback, so don't think twice and send me some! constructive criticism is also welcomed!
"Dammit, Dean," you cursed under your breath as you tried calling Dean, only to be sent straight to voicemail once again. To say you were exasperated was an understatement. You couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that was starting to creep up on you. “Where the hell are you, guys?”
As little as a single missed call was enough to seed concern within you. One—they had probably walked into a crowded bar. Two—Dean had most likely found a chick worth flirting with. Nine in the span of two hours? Nine voicemail messages and no sign neither of the brothers were still alive? Now that was downright worrisome.
You slid the combination 11-02-83 into the lock, and it opened immediately with a subdued click. You had been with the Winchesters long enough to have figured out the access code to the weapons compartment. Nonetheless, you were still finding your feet in the supernatural world, not having ever seen any of the creatures you read about.
With one hand, you scrambled to lift the bottom of the trunk, gaining access to the secret compartment John had built in the '67 Impala Dean insisted on nicknaming baby.
If there was anything you had a grasp of, it was lore beyond doubt. Therefore, you sifted meticulously through the vast array of weapons until you finally laid your eyes on the one you had been seeking—a glistening silver knife, ornately engraved. Legend has it both silver bullets and silver-bladed weapons were lethal to shapeshifters, the very creature Sam and Dean were after.
As you became aware of your scarce fighting skills, you hesitated for a moment and second-guessed your brash decision to defy the blunt order to stay in the motel the Winchesters had given you. Instead of backing down and following said instructions, you headed towards the nearest sewer cleanout driven and determined, and trawled the cover aside with great effort.
With the silver knife in hand, you descended into the sewers, climbing down the rank, rusty ladder, diligently making it to the bottom. You jumped off onto the ground, which you found to be swamped with turbid water. Or at least that was what you hoped the muddy puddles soaking your feet up to the socks were.
The air was humid, and the sewer halls were silent except for the rhythmic dripping of leak drops splashing on the concrete. You took a deep, shaky breath, wondering how Sam and Dean managed to remain level-headed during hunts, especially given the unforeseen aftermath.
You were undoubtedly scared—terrified even. You bore in mind all the plausible deadly outcomes facing a creature as powerful as a shapeshifter entailed. Yet, not even that did withhold you from sacrificing your own safety for the sake of the two boys who had become your family over the past year.
You were willing to pay your weight in blood if it was their lives at stake. Without them by your side, life would only be reduced to a meaningless solitary existence. So you might as well devote yourself to wrestling them from the peril you sensed they were in.
You crept through the dark, dank sewers, your grip on the silver knife tightening with each step, refraining it from slipping from your moist trembling hands. You couldn't quite shake the feeling that something was watching you, lurking in the shadows, waiting to pounce at any moment.
The stench was overwhelming, and you had to cover your nose with your free hand to avoid gagging. But you knew that giving up was not an option. You had come too far to turn back at this point.
You dropped your gaze to the concrete beneath your feet, scrutinizing the ground in search of any signs indicating Sam and Dean’s whereabouts.
One, two, three blood droplets stained the cement and left behind a vague trail. It was a somewhat chilling sight, and your thoughts immediately went to the possibility of the guys being wounded.
Barely a few feet before you laid a mucilaginous shred of skin. Next to it was a clump of dark hair, matted and tangled, still attached to its corresponding patch of torn skin. You shuddered at the realization that those gruesome remnants irrefutably belonged to the shapeshifter.
Faint grunts died out in the distance. It sounded human, and you recognized them as Dean’s. You tensed up, gripping the small bladed weapon steady in your hand.
With an adrenaline rush pumping through your veins, you crept towards the direction of the sound. The grunts grew louder, and you could now hear the pained sounds of Dean's voice as clear as day. Your heart leaped into your throat, and you picked up the pace, sprinting through the dark corridors.
You skidded to a stop as you came upon the scene. Eyes narrowed and brows raised, you did your utmost to wrap your head around the commotion you witnessed before you.
Sam laid sprawled on the floor, his mouth stuffed with a smudge rag. There was sweat and blood coating his face and clothes and his chest inflated and deflated frantically as he struggled against the plastic flange restraining his wrists.
Your attention then turned to Dean, who was pressed against the wall with his body tense with pain and fear. There was another loud thud, the broad creature gripping Dean's jacket collar tossed him onto the ground, the sound echoing throughout the sewer's hallways. Dean gasped in pain, and your heart sank even further at the sight of his helplessness.
“Y/n…get outta...here...” he spoke falteringly in a hushed tone when he registered your presence.
You followed his gaze, and your eyes locked with the shapeshifter's dusky ones. The creature’s features were practically indistinguishable under the dim light seeping through the storm drains, yet the illumination was sufficient for you to discern its current shape.
It was not human, you acknowledged that fact in its entirety. But it sure resembled a person, and not just any person. The shapeshifter, whose eyes were currently fixated on your unnerved shaky figure, had taken on Sam's form with such accuracy it left you utterly bewildered, propelling your mind into an insurmountable surge of confusion.
Its gaze was intense, almost otherworldly, and it seemed to be studying you with a cold detachment that sent shivers down your spine. The shapeshifter seemed to be waiting for your next move, but you froze, clueless as to how to act in the face of his defiant demeanor. And with each passing moment, the pressure mounted, threatening to engulf you in a tidal and paralyzing wave of haze and dread.
You felt compelled to pin your hopes on your self-reliance in order to beat the creature down. After mustering all your courage, you leaped to Dean’s defense. Without hesitation, you charged forward, brandishing the silver knife that you had retrieved from the Impala's weapons compartment.
The smug laugh of the shapeshifter only fueled your determination to protect the brothers at any cost. You saw red. With a swift motion, you plunged the blade into the shapeshifter's chest, slicing and carving it wide open out of fury, and it let out a bloodcurdling screech as it fell to the ground, lifeless.
What seemed blatant moments ago became now an incertitude, as you saw what appeared to be Sam's inanimate body on the concrete. Even if the real Sam drew breath a stone's throw away from you, growing ever more relieved as Dean aided in freeing him from the restraints, the thought of having killed the younger Winchester brother eclipsed your brain.
“I’d never peg you as the stabbing type,” joked Dean trying to alleviate the tension in the atmosphere as he helped Sam to get up, earning a sheepish 'thank you' from the younger brother. He then turned his attention to you. “Jeez, y/n, white paint has more color than your face.”
You took a step backward staring down to your hands, absolutely unable to hear what Dean was saying, let alone fathom it out. Blood was all you saw, blood drenching your hands from the very fingertips all the way up to your elbow.
When your only response to his jokes was silence, Dean began to realize that something was off. In a desperate attempt to get you to snap out of your distressed paralysis, he grabbed you by the shoulders and shook you slightly.
You looked at him, trying to discern his worried features through your foggy vision. You felt trapped inside your own mind, unable to break free from the suffocating weight of your thoughts.
"Everything's spinning, De," you muttered as you managed to loosen the knot that had formed in your throat. "Please, make it stop.”
"I promise you—your head is the only thing spinning right now," he said with a small smile, trying to lighten the mood. "You did good, y/n/n. You saved my ass back there."
Your usually regular and calmed breathing pattern developed into a shallow, rapid one. You could feel your heart hammering at great speed in your chest, which caused the veins in your neck to throb and made you feel rather light-headed.
"Hey, hey, hey. I've got you. I've got you," Dean whispered, pulling you into a tight embrace not willing to let you fall when he saw you swaying, and losing balance. "Just listen to my heartbeat, okay?"
You hummed in response, utterly unable to voice your distress. You could hear and feel the wallop of his heart, forcefully rapid yet steady and calming, along with the resounding sounds of his voice inside his chest. You clung to him for dear life, feeling his strong arms around you as you kept a white-knuckled grip on his plain flannel.
"That's it. Just focus on that," he reassured you, rubbing his hand up and down your back, your breathing gradually returning to its even pattern. "You're safe now. It's over."
As soon as you were out of the sewer, Dean ushered you to the Impala opening the door for you to enter the back passenger seat. As much as he loved baby, getting her bloodstained was not a problem as long as he got you safe and comfy.
The ride lasted hardly ten minutes, although to your clouded senses it felt everlasting. You made a futile attempt to divert your attention from the dry blood coating your hands to the sparse traffic outside, before your mind was dragged into the abysmal hole of anguish that the earlier incident had dug into your psyche one more time.
Throughout the ride, Sam kept asking if you were okay every now and then, displaying a genuine concern for your well-being. He knew how traumatic the experience must have been for you and wanted to make sure you were coping. His kind words and comforting presence helped soothe your frazzled nerves, even if only slightly.
Truth was you were far from okay. You were grappling with a multitude of emotions that were threatening to consume you, and the weight of your thoughts felt suffocating.
Meanwhile, Dean would occasionally shoot glances your way through the rear-view mirror, silently checking on you to make sure you were holding up. Despite his tough exterior and being kind of rough around the edges, he was quick to show his caring and nurturing side when it came to you.
The car rolled down the highway, the engine humming softly as Dean expertly downshifted gears, slowly bringing the vehicle to a smooth stop in the motel's parking lot.
You stumbled out of the car, feeling dizzy and disoriented. Dean rushed to your side, supporting you with a hand on your back.
"Easy there, champ," he said, concern lacing his voice. "Let's get you cleaned up and patched up, yeah?"
You nodded weakly, grateful for his support. It was then that you noticed the large gash on your forearm, which must have been incurred during the prior wrestling. How could you have missed it before?
The keys clattered as Sam unlocked the door to your assigned room, pushing it open gently. The three of you entered the motel's bedroom, steps heavy as your energy was depleted.
While Sam tended to his own injuries, Dean took you to the bathroom, where he turned on the tap and began to gently wash away the blood that coated your hands and arms. The touch of his fingers was soothing, and you closed your eyes, letting out a sigh of relief as the water washed away the evidence of the shapeshifter's blood.
In spite of his sarcastic jokes, you knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Dean was mad. And he had every right to be.
You looked up at him, feeling guilty for disobeying orders and putting yourself in danger. The instructions were clear—stay safe and focus on research. They had let you take charge of the investigation duty reluctantly, let alone get fully involved in the hunting business. But you found it impossible to resist the urge, you couldn’t stay in the motel doing nothing knowing they could be in trouble.
Notwithstanding the potential fallout, Dean didn't scold you. Instead, he patiently led you to the toilet, he retrieved the newly restocked first aid kit and gently placed it on the countertop.
“I'm sorry,” you said in a whisper. "You weren't answering my calls. I got worried sick. I'm sorry."
Dean leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on your forehead.
"No need to be, sweetheart," he said softly, tossing his resentment for your disobedient behaviour to the back of his mind. "As much as I hate to admit this, you did what had to be done. You saved us back there."
He proceeded to tend to your wound, his touch light and careful as he cleaned and bandaged the gash on your forearm. You couldn't help but feel grateful for his presence, for his unwavering support and understanding.
As he finished up, he looked up at you with a small empathetic smile.
"You wanna crash in my room tonight?" he asked. "I promise to keep the nightmares away."
You nodded, feeling a weight lift off your shoulders.
The knowledge that he was there with you, ready to support you through thick and thin, was a comforting thought. With Dean by your side, you knew you could get through anything.

Anyway if it looks like you'll wind up with sewage backing into your house because lift stations fail without power, remember that if you unscrew the lids from your clean-outs that will let the sewage overflow into your yard instead of your home.

Okay so, clogs, blocked drains and slow drains can be a variety of things. I'll start by explaining that the plumber is most likely going to a cleanout. Cleanouts are caps in the ground or wall that allow access to the sewer line in the most non invasive method possible, usually plastic but sometimes metal. And they're likely not draining out the pipe but using either a bladder¹ or a drain cleaning machine² to clear the clog. This explains why your plunger wouldn't do much. A plunger acts by creating a seal above the clog and using the act of plunging to force pressure onto it. Plungers are only useful if a clog is still within a singular fixture. If the plumber has to clear it from the cleanout, the clog is beyond the toilet so all that's happening when you plunge it is forcing water up into other drain lines that are also clogged.
Well why all the secrecy? Judging by the fact that it's your work building, the plumber may be under strict instruction to not speak to you and to definitely not to discuss the plumbing with you. You are not their customer, the owner of the building/property manager is. There may be many reasons for this, but the most common is that all kinds of drama happen in a tenant/landlord situation around the plumbing and it can all comes down to my invoice.
My invoices specifically are written to include conditions on arrival, what steps I took to rectify, any findings I've made and future recommendations if needed. Those last two parts are where the friction happens. Say I pull back a load of flushable wipes³ or tampons in the drain, that goes into my invoice and sometimes the landlord will charge the tenant for the plumbing service.⁴ And sometimes people get big mad when you imply their responsibility for major maintenance.
Now say I don't pull anything back but I recommend a camera inspection to find out what exactly is going on, or imagine if I recommend stripping out all the cast iron and replacing it, which can run upwards of $8k-$20k just for a residential property. If I mention that to the tenant, now they're using my words to argue that the plumbing is substandard and they're not paying rent until it's fixed.⁵ This is a fight that I didn't ask to be in the middle of, and have no interest in battling. So if the person paying for the invoices says don't talk to anyone there? I don't talk to them. It's just not worth the hassle.
So it's possible that the sewer line at your work is old and degrading, and the owner has little interest in forking over several tens of thousands of dollars to dig it up and redo it. Or its possible one of your coworkers doesn't believe in putting sanitary items in the trash. Unfortunately there is little that you can do in this situation except wait for the plumber :(
1 A bladder is also known as a blow bag, which looks like a balloon on the end of a hose that fills up to create a seal within the pipe and blow water out towards the clog to force out the obstruction. It should only be used in specific circumstances
2 A drain cleaning machine can be either a continuous cable machine or a jetter. The machine uses a large twisted cable in a spinning drum that feeds into the line and uses torque to manually break through the clog. A jetter uses high water pressures to scour the inside of the line and clean it. Which is used can depend on access, location, clog type and details of the drain line
3 A misnomer, no wipes are truly flushable. They do not break down as toilet paper does. DO NOT FLUSH ANY WIPES DOWN THE TOILET
4 The legality of this practice may vary. I am neither a landlord nor a lawyer
5 Do not do this without seeking legal counsel. I have never heard of it working and from what I understand it is fact specific. One plumber's recommendation for a repipe does not declare your space uninhabitable

Reading about your garage reminds me of when my apt flooded; my brother went to take a shower that night and the faucet just blew off and started violently spraying water and it began to spill into the living room. Maintenance never answered the phone because they had strict rules about only answering messages and not just PICKING UP A PHONECALL. We had to call the fire department who ended up breaking into the room that controlled all the water in the building. The water dripped into our downstairs neighbour's apt through our floor too. The Maintenance never showed up until the fire department had already started mopping up. The apt comped us a cleaner but it was so early in the morning we couldn't go back to sleep or we'd miss the cleaner. Didn't end up getting any sleep until noon that following day.
godddd, that sounds horrific, plumbing disasters really are catastrophic, especially when the people who are supposed to help won't answer the phone!!!!! all things considered we were really lucky, we called three supposedly 24/hour emergency services - the first two of which went "best we can do is 8 am, boss," which kind of defeats the point of a 24 hour line - but the third sent out just the Nicest Dude Possible within like an hour and he was able to crawl around in the snow in the dark to find our sewer cleanout and snake the drain. still was like 5 am by the time it was all done, though.
luckily the only backup inside the house proper was in one shower, and we were able to sweep the worst of the water from the garage out the driveway. we've decided to call a sanitizing service for the garage after all tho because even though there wasn't any visible sewage it definitely didn't smell like potable water and we have a lot of boxes 'n stuff in there that we're like "......is this okay" about :/ which is gonna be really fucken expensive but again!! what can ya do!!
#my dad who passed away a couple years ago was a plumber and if there's an afterlife we just know he's laughing from it#one of the things he always told us was that if there's a clog call a rooting service specifically not just a general plumber#because they'll have the best equipment and the most experience getting rid of bad clogs without damaging your pipes#and by god that's what we did#asks#anonymous#unsanitary //

The Benefits of Sewer Camera Inspections for Homeowners in New Jersey
Introduction
As a homeowner, it’s easy to focus on visible maintenance tasks while neglecting essential systems hidden from sight. One of the most critical yet overlooked systems is the sewer line. A well-maintained sewer system is vital for the health of your home and family. Regular sewer maintenance, especially through sewer camera inspections, can save you from significant headaches down the road.
At Sewer Check Sewer Camera Inspections, we specialize in providing comprehensive sewer camera inspections to homeowners and realtors across New Jersey. Our office, located at 197 Christie Ave, Clifton, NJ 07011, serves clients throughout the state. To learn more about how we can help you protect your investment, visit njsewercheck.com.
What Are Sewer Camera Inspections? A sewer camera inspection is a process that involves the use of advanced technology to assess the condition of your sewer lines. Here’s how it works:
Camera Insertion Our trained technicians insert a high-definition camera into the sewer line through an access point, typically a cleanout. This camera is designed to navigate the twists and turns of your plumbing system.
Live Video Feed As the camera travels through the pipes, it transmits live video footage to a monitor. This allows both the technician and the homeowner to view the condition of the sewer line in real time.
Detailed Reporting After the inspection, we provide a thorough report outlining the findings. If we identify any issues, such as cracks, blockages, or root intrusions, we’ll recommend the appropriate steps for repairs or maintenance.
To schedule a sewer camera inspection with Sewer Check, visit njsewercheck.com.
The Importance of Regular Sewer Camera Inspections Regular sewer camera inspections are essential for several reasons:
Preventing Costly Repairs Many sewer line problems can develop gradually, making them easy to overlook until they become significant issues. Early detection through inspections can help you avoid expensive repairs caused by extensive damage.
Avoiding Water Damage A malfunctioning sewer line can lead to sewage backups, causing extensive water damage in your home. Regular inspections help identify potential issues before they escalate, protecting your property from costly repairs.
Maintaining Property Value A well-functioning sewer system is crucial for preserving your home’s value. Buyers may be hesitant to pur

Sewer Scope Inspections in Houston, Texas: Why They Matter for Your Home
https://www.dextersdedicatedhomeinspections.com/in-and-out-inspection/
When it comes to buying or maintaining a home, one aspect that often goes unnoticed is the condition of the sewer line. However, it plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of your property. Sewer scope inspections are essential in Houston, Texas, given the city's unique combination of aging infrastructure, clay soils, and the high risk of tree root intrusion. Understanding why sewer scope inspections matter and what they involve can save you from costly repairs and headaches in the future.
What is a Sewer Scope Inspection?
A sewer scope inspection involves using a small, specialized camera to examine the interior of a property’s sewer line. The camera, attached to a flexible cable, is inserted through a drain or a cleanout to visually inspect the condition of the pipes. This inspection helps to identify any potential issues, such as:
Blockages: Caused by debris, grease buildup, or foreign objects.
Tree Root Intrusions: Roots can penetrate and damage the sewer line, especially in Houston, where trees are prevalent.
Pipe Deterioration: Age or environmental conditions may cause pipes to corrode or crack.
Misalignments or Collapsed Sections: Pipes can shift due to ground movement or improper installation.
Why Sewer Scope Inspections Are Crucial in Houston
Houston's geography and climate make sewer systems particularly vulnerable. The clay soil in the area tends to expand and contract with moisture changes, potentially causing pipes to shift or crack. Additionally, older homes in Houston may have outdated sewer lines made of materials like clay or cast iron, which are prone to deterioration over time.
Tree roots are another common issue in Houston, as they seek out water sources and can grow into sewer lines, leading to blockages and breaks. These problems, if undetected, can cause severe backups, flooding, and even structural damage to your property.
Benefits of Sewer Scope Inspections
Prevent Expensive Repairs: Catching small issues like root intrusions or minor pipe misalignments early can prevent major sewer line failures, which could result in costly repairs or replacements.
Protect Your Investment: Whether you're a homebuyer or homeowner, a sewer scope inspection provides peace of mind by ensuring the hidden parts of your property are in good condition.
Avoid Health Hazards: A damaged sewer line can lead to sewage backups, which pose serious health risks to your family due to bacteria and mold growth.
Real Estate Transactions: For homebuyers in Houston, a sewer scope inspection is an important part of due diligence. It ensures that the home’s plumbing system is in good working condition before completing the purchase.
When to Get a Sewer Scope Inspection
Buying a Home: If you're purchasing a home in Houston, especially if it’s an older property, a sewer scope inspection is highly recommended.
Recurring Plumbing Issues: If you've noticed frequent backups or slow drains, it may be time to have your sewer line inspected.
Before Major Landscaping Projects: Trees and plants can impact your sewer line, so consider an inspection before adding new landscaping.
Professional Sewer Scope Inspections in Houston
Given the complexities of Houston's soil, climate, and aging infrastructure, sewer scope inspections should be performed by experienced professionals who understand local conditions. A reliable home inspection service in Houston can help identify potential sewer issues before they turn into major problems.
At Dexter's Dedicated Home Inspections, we specialize in thorough sewer scope inspections as part of our comprehensive home inspection services. Using state-of-the-art technology, we ensure that your sewer system is in top shape, giving you confidence in your home investment. Don’t wait until it's too late—schedule your sewer scope inspection today!
Conclusion
Sewer scope inspections are an essential part of maintaining your property in Houston. They can help prevent costly repairs, protect your family’s health, and ensure the long-term value of your home. If you’re in need of a sewer inspection or home inspection services in Houston, reach out to Dexter's Dedicated Home Inspections for expert guidance and support.

Understanding Jet Blasting Drain Cleaning: How It Works and Its Benefits
At some stage, all homeowners will experience blocked or sluggish drains and sewers. Over the course of time, sediment, dirt, and various minerals may accumulate in your pipeline. Moreover, various substances may become lodged in toilets and drains. Just as there are numerous reasons for your pipe to become blocked, there are a variety of ways to address the issue. One of the ways to clean such clogged drains is by jet blasting drain cleaning. In this blog we will be discussing how this process works and the benefits of Jet Blasting Drain Cleaning in Mount Lewis.
What is Jet Blasting Drain Cleaning in Mount Lewis?
Jet blasting is the process of using pressurized water to clear clogged or dirty pipes in a plumbing system. The machine powers the high-pressure hose, which is equipped with a specialized nozzle (options vary based on blockage type), to remove water from the tank at high pressures and speeds effectively. The great force of the water being pumped is powerful enough to penetrate any obstacles that may be blocking the flow. However, it also functions as a pressure washer to clean the walls of the pipes, scrubbing the entire diameter and removing any accumulated mineral deposits or other debris. Think of it as a drastic transformation for your pipes that results in clear and clean lines.
How this Jet Blasting Drain Cleaning Method Works?
The jet blasting drain cleaning method works by using a high pressure water stream to clear out clogs and debris from pipes. First a specialized nozzle is inserted into the drain and then pressurized water is forced through the nozzle at a high velocity. This powerful stream of water dislodges any blockages and flushes them out of the pipe system. The force of the water also helps to scrub the walls of the pipes clean leaving them clear and free-flowing. Overall jet blasting is an effective and efficient way to maintain clean and functioning drains.
Benefits that this Drain Cleaning Method Offers
Quick
High-pressure drain cleaning is faster at clearing blockages than any other method. Clearing clogs with a snake tool can take a lot of time and often only creates small openings in the blockage. Disassembling pipes to manually eliminate a blockage takes up even more of your time. Jet blasting drain cleaning is fast and gets rid of the entire blockage.
It is Non-Invasive
Frequently, if there is a problem with your sewer line, plumbers may have to excavate a trench to reach the pipes. This might take a lot of time and money, and it may result in a mess. Nonetheless, jet blasting drain cleaning enables you to utilise a non-destructive method that eliminates the need to excavate your yard in order to reach the blocked pipes. Accessing the pipes through the cleanout is simple.
It is Efficient
Sediment, remnants of soap, oils, grease, and other waste can lead to stubborn blockages in pipes and sewage systems. Using traditional methods for cleaning drains is challenging because of this viscous sludge. An expert technician has the ability to clear out blockages in drain lines and effectively clean those using high-pressure methods.
Safe
High-pressure drain cleaning is the most secure method of cleaning drain and sewer lines. No heavy machinery or toxic substances are used. If drain cleaning chemicals are inhaled or swallowed, they can be harmful and also irritate the skin and eyes. Jet blasting drain cleaning is a secure choice when performed by a skilled professional.
Eco-Friendly
High-pressure drain cleaning does not harm the environment. Fluid drain cleaners contain powerful chemicals that have the potential to leak into the ground and soil. Because hydro jetting involves utilizing solely a powerful stream of water, it can effectively break through obstructions in pipes and leave them clean without causing any environmental harm.
Bottom Line
Using a jet blaster is much more efficient than a standard plumbing snake for removing blockages, and it is also very effective for consistent and precise cleaning. You have the ability to eliminate accumulated minerals and debris such as roots, sand, rocks, bacteria, and decomposing organic material in order to keep your drains clean and fresh.
