When to Hire a Professional Drain Cleaner

A clogged drain may seem like an insignificant reason to call a plumber, but sometimes you need a professional with specialized equipment. When you have a clogged drain in your home, you might try at-home solutions like a liquid cleaner, a drain snake, or hot water to clear them. However, these methods don’t compare to the techniques and technology we offer here. Call us if you have a stubborn drain that won’t budge, no matter how many times or methods you’ve tried, and we’ll get the job done.

Types of Clogged Drains We Can Clean

We’re confident in tackling any type of clogged drain. Here are a few of the most common residential drains we clear:

Kitchen Sink Drains

We clean and clear kitchen sinks clogged with food waste or other foreign objects and make sure to check that your garbage disposal is functioning properly. If your dishwasher isn’t working as it should, we can check and clean your dishwasher’s drains as well.

Laundry Drains

Some drains that connect to your washing machine may become clogged with hard water, sludge, or other contaminants. We can clean and clear laundry drains so that your washer drains water efficiently.

Bathroom Drains

Bathroom drains, including tub drains, sink drains, and toilet drains, tend to clog more than any other drain in a home. When water stands still or pools in your sink or shower, the best way to clear them is with professional services.

Area Drains

Area drains are often found near homes to help direct water away, effectively preventing flooding. Many times these drains become clogged with dirt, debris, leaves, and other items found in run-off. If you’re not having them regularly maintained, then when a storm comes, a clogged area drain can flood your yard or home.

Professional Drain Cleaning Services

We utilize various methods for cleaning and clearing drains. Our professional drain cleaning services include techniques such as hydro-jetting, snaking, and the use of acidic solutions.

Different blockages require different drain repair methods. For instance, if tree roots block your drain or sewer, or your drains have a high amount of grease buildup, we’ll rely on hydro-jetting services or augers to effectively clear these blockages. For obstructions like minerals, we often use professional-grade acidic solutions. Acidic solutions can also break down food and hair, but we also use specialized snaking tools and other equipment to remove them.

Hydro Jetting

Hydro jetting is a process where a high-pressure water system flushes and cleans your pipes with water. Flooding the lines pushes clogs through the pipes and ensures that your pipes are cleared of debris and other obstructions. It removes grease, sand, debris, and other objects that hinder normal water flow through the pipes.

Snaking

Drain snaking involves pushing an auger into the drain from a sink, tub, toilet, or cleanout access point until it reaches the clog. Then, a crank is used to dislodge the blockage. The auger can either push the clog and break it up with its twisting action or attach to the clog so it can be brought up and pulled out.

Camera Inspections

One of the frustrations with plumbing clogs is that you may not know where the clog is coming from. To solve this guessing game, We use state-of-the-art camera inspections to identify any and all clogs in your plumbing system.

4 Tips To Prevent Future Drain Clogs

Routine Cleanings

When cleaning your drains at home, avoid using harmful drain cleaners from hardware stores. Instead, use environmentally safe enzyme treatments every month to prevent drains from collecting grime and debris.

Properly Disposing Grease

Don’t dispose of grease and other harmful items in your drains. Pour grease into a container and dispose of it in the trash, or wait for it to harden, then scrape it into the trash.

Run Hot Water

Regularly run hot water through all drains, preferably after each use. For infrequently used drains, run or pour hot water weekly to clear away scum and keep the p-trap full to prevent odors.

Use Drain Screens

If your drains are frequently clogged due to hair, use a drain screen or mesh strainer that catches hair and debris. Make sure you clean strainers regularly for optimum performance and to eliminate odors.
