Drain Cleaning for Everyday Clogs
Kitchen drain cleaning
Grease, food scraps and residue can collect inside kitchen pipes. Holiday cooking adds demand, so address a slow sink before hosting. Put cooled cooking grease in the trash, keep food scraps out of the drain and avoid treating the disposal as a replacement for a trash can.
Bathroom drain cleaning
Hair and soap buildup can slow a shower, tub or bathroom sink. A recurring clog may need more than clearing the opening. We assess the symptoms and use an appropriate method to clear the blockage. Tell the plumber if more than one fixture is affected or you have already used a chemical drain product.
Hydro jetting
Hydro jetting uses pressurized water to remove substantial buildup from a drain or sewer line. It may be useful for recurring grease and residue, but it is not suitable for every pipe. Our plumber evaluates the line and its condition before recommending a cleaning method. A damaged pipe may need repair instead.
Drain cleaning questions
What if several drains back up together?
Stop using affected fixtures and call for an assessment. The problem may be farther along a shared drain or sewer line.
Is hydro jetting right for every clog?
No. The blockage, pipe material and pipe condition determine the appropriate method.
What should I do during a sewage backup?
Avoid contact with wastewater, keep people and pets away and call for emergency plumbing help. Do not keep running water into affected drains.
Signs the Drain Problem Is Getting Worse
Some drain problems are obvious. Others sneak up on you.
A few signs to watch for:
- water draining slower than usual
- bad smells coming from the sink or tub
- bubbling or gurgling sounds in the pipes
- water backing up into a fixture
- clogs that keep returning
- more than one drain acting slow at the same time
If it is happening in just one sink or shower, the blockage may be close by. If several drains are having trouble, there is a good chance the problem is farther down the line.
When It May Be a Sewer Line Issue
Sometimes the problem is bigger than a basic clog.
If drains around the house are backing up, if the issue keeps coming back, or if the line never seems fully clear, the sewer line may need attention. That is a different problem than a simple sink or shower clog, and it usually takes more than a basic drain cleaning to fix it.
Our plumbers can inspect the situation and determine whether sewer cleaning is the better solution. In some cases, hydro jetting is the right way to break up heavy buildup and clear the line more thoroughly.
Why Homeowners Skip Store-Bought Drain Cleaners
A lot of people try liquid drain cleaner first. That is understandable. It is easy, it is quick, and it seems like it should solve the problem.
Most of the time, it does not do enough. It may break through part of the clog, but it usually does not clear the full blockage. In some cases, repeated use can also be hard on your plumbing.
If the same drain keeps slowing down or backing up, there is usually more going on than a quick chemical fix can handle.
