One of the most striking changes I've noticed since returning from my 14-year exile from the trade is the advent of power flushing.
I'm not sure if it's just a gimmick or even a means of extracting money from customers for work they don't really need, such as many cases of drain jetting.
It seems to be a mainstay of many plumbers' adverts and customer awareness of this service is high.
Is power flushing that revolutionary? I must admit I've sneered at it a bit, but I guess I might be missing a trick. My advice to customers has been that I could remove all their rads and wash them out with a hose and then run a chemical cleaner through their system instead. But they seem to favour power flushing.
Any advice on whether to invest in some equipment or not would be appreciated.
