Professional Home Drain Cleaning Services
You’ll often notice indications of a clog long before you have standing water in a sink or tub. Slow drainage is an obvious sign. You should also watch for noisy drainage and foul odors, which can indicate food trapped in the drain. If the clog is in the sewer line, you may notice slowness and other symptoms across multiple drains. It’s also common to have toilets that gurgle or experience fluctuations in their water levels.
A drain inspection is the best way to determine the nature of a clog and other drain issues. This is where we’ll use a high-definition camera. That camera resides at the end of a long cable attached to a monitor. This lets us diagnose the problem and determine a fix.
For many localized clogs, such as under a kitchen sink, rooter services are the solution. Also called drain snaking, this is where we use a manual or motorized auger. The auger breaks up the blockage, allowing us to clear the drain simply by flushing it.
High-pressure drain cleaning is an option as well. This is often necessary when there’s accumulation on the inner pipe walls. Examples include limescale and soap scum. By cleaning the pipe walls, we restore the full diameter of the drain.
Some drain problems are due to compromised materials. Connections and washers can wear out over time and shift. This can cause a leak or catch materials as they flow by and create a clog. In other cases, you may experience corrosion of the drain or other metal components. Our expert plumbers can replace any of these parts as needed to restore the functionality of the drain.
For substantial blockages within a sewer line, hydro jetting is often necessary. A hydro jet is a machine that mixes air and water and then injects it into the sewer pipe at high pressure. That can break up the most difficult clogs, including grease and tree roots, without damaging the pipe. We also use a specialized head that shoots water against the pipe walls to clean them. That ensures the pipe is fully clean and you’re not dealing with another clog soon after.
