-Plumbing technology is seldom at the forefront of the news or public thought, and rarely thought of as very technical. A plunger, plumbing snake, some kind of chemical drain cleaner, and a plumber’s phone number are all we need, right? Fortunately, plumbers do think of technical solutions to plumbing problems, and the team from Paso Robles’ Quality 1st Plumbing & Drains arrives on the scene well-armed.
The flex shaft, an innovative advancement on the traditional plumbing snake, made its debut around six years ago in 2019. Although not considered a new technology now, the Paso Robles drain cleaning team from Quality 1st jumped on it as soon as the flex shaft hit the market. “Now it’s standard equipment,” says owner Sky Sepulveda. “The flex shaft’s accuracy and time-saving benefits make our customers’ lives much easier, solve the problem quickly, and get everyone back to normal life much sooner.”
What makes the flex shaft so beneficial?
- Its powerful cleaning capabilities are due to high-speed rotation that can’t be achieved with a manually operated snake.
- The design and precise control make it possible to tackle clogs up to and including tree roots and clean out stubborn residue without damaging the pipes.
- Flexible shaft allowing it to bend around curves and navigate complex pipe systems.
- Allows simultaneous camera inspection so the technician can see blockages, leaks, or other damage to the pipes.
Combined with the inspection camera, the flex shaft considerably reduces the time that normal plumbing troubleshooting takes. “We are always looking for ways to best serve our customers,” says Sepulveda.
No one likes plumbing problems. The ability to quickly locate and clear plumbing drains and pipes makes life easier for both residential and commercial issues. Another reason the Paso Robles drain cleaning team uses the flex shaft is that combining it with an inspection camera minimizes the need to dig exploratory holes or trenches, and leaves the customer’s landscaping as intact as possible.
The improved efficiency and accuracy that comes with using the flex shaft harmonizes perfectly with Quality 1st Plumbing & Drains’ philosophy and services:
