Avoid Damage in Your Home: Skip the Chemicals
Ignoring a slow drain can lead to problems like cracked or burst pipes. Before it gets to that point, you might choose to buy a chemical clog remover. Don’t do it! It may partially dissolve the clog, but it’ll more than likely sit in one spot in your pipes. While it is sitting there, the chemical is having a thermal reaction. This heat is likely to destroy your pipes, especially if used repeatedly.
Another option that you might consider is manual extraction of the clog. If the clog isn’t too far into your pipes, pulling it out yourself might seem like a good idea. However, this is also not the best move. You might be able to remove some of the problem, but you will still have buildup on the pipes. There is also a chance that you could damage your plumbing by improperly using the tools. These damages can be far more expensive to repair than just calling our technicians.

Our Drain Cleaning Process
If you’ve attempted to unclog a drain, you might have noticed that a few weeks later the water is pooling up again. In this case, the problem hasn’t been fixed and the clog hasn’t been completely removed. It is also possible that there is a buildup of grease, soap, or even toothpaste. Our technicians are trained to figure out what the actual cause of the problem is and then to fix it by extracting the clog, cleaning the buildup, or both. Sometimes, you’ll experience multiple sinks or bathtubs draining slowly. This can happen due to a clog in the main line and will require us reaching deep into your plumbing. No matter the problem, we have a tool and the know-how to fix it!

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How can I tell if my drains need cleaning?
You may need to clean your drains if you notice slow drainage in sinks, tubs, or showers, water backing up, bad smells coming from your drains, or gurgling sounds when using plumbing fixtures. Other signs include frequent clogs despite attempts to clear them or visible grime buildup around drain openings.
Q: How often should I maintain my drains?
Regular drain maintenance, performed every few months, can help prevent buildup and clogs. Simple routines like regularly flushing drains with hot water or using natural cleaners such as baking soda and vinegar can keep your drains clean. Homes with heavier usage or recurrent clogging issues might require more frequent maintenance, potentially on a monthly or bi-monthly basis.
Q: What are the signs of a blockage in the main sewer line?
Signs of a blockage in the main sewer line can include multiple drains in your home slowing down or clogging at the same time, gurgling sounds from drains or toilets, unpleasant odors from drains or near the sewer cleanout, and water backing up in lower-level fixtures. If you experience sewage backups in drains or toilets after using water in another part of the house, this could also indicate a blockage in the main sewer line.
Q: What steps can I take to prevent blockages in my drains?
To prevent drain blockages, be proactive: do not dispose of grease, oils, or food scraps down the drains. Use strainers or screens to catch hair and debris in sinks and showers. Regular flushing of drains with hot water can also help prevent buildup. Consider using natural remedies like baking soda and vinegar or enzymatic cleaners to break down organic materials periodically. Being cautious about what goes down your drains and engaging professional plumbing services for regular inspections and maintenance can greatly help in reducing blockages.
