Drain Cleaning

A clogged drain is a fairly common problem everyone has probably encountered. Even if you maintain perfect cleanliness in your house, it can happen from time to time. Drain cleaning is a pretty simple procedure that can be performed using various methods depending on the degree of clog. Our experts can easily cope with blockages of any complexity. Don’t wait for the problem to cause serious inconvenience, but let us know right away.

Water ceases to pass through the pipes at the usual speed after several years of use. It is because sludge appears on the walls. It gradually hardens and reduces the diameter of pipes, slowing down the water flow and interfering with the passage of debris. After some time, the problem can become so severe that the liquid stops draining completely, bringing to the surface everything that is in a pipe.

If you do not get rid of the problem on time, it may entail the need for a complete renovation of not only your home but also the rooms below if you live in an apartment building. That is why you should have reliable plumbing company contacts at hand who will respond to your call on time and quickly clean the drain before a small problem turns into a headache.

Reasons for a Clogged Drain

The causes of clogs can be very different. Among the main things that provoke them are the following:

  • Cooking grease plaque;
  • Food particles;
  • Pieces of soap;
  • Hair and pet fur;
  • Excess paper;
  • Kids toys;
  • Jewelry;
  • Other garbage;
  • Ingrown tree roots.

Some of these reasons are not easy to eliminate. You cannot be completely sure that pieces of food will not fall into the drain when washing dishes. However, people often flush things that cannot be flushed into pipes. For example, some flush clay cat litter down the toilet, which, when wet, forms dense lumps that stick to the pipe walls and interfere with the normal water flow.

If you notice that your sink, toilet bowl, or bathtub is draining slower than usual, investigate the issue and ask all family members. By stopping doing the things that clog the drain, you will see that the problem resolves itself.

Main Drain Cleaning Techniques

When it comes to cleaning drains, a simple and effective device like a plunger immediately comes to mind. It really works in simple situations and helps to get rid of small household clogs. However, if the problem is more serious, it will not save you and may even aggravate the situation. That is why our experts use more modern and proven techniques. We choose the approach and tools depending on the specific situation and after a thorough examination.

Snakes and augers

These tools are mechanical pipe cleaning methods suitable for solving minor problems. They help to break large debris into smaller pieces, remove fatty plaque, and lift accidentally dropped toys upstairs. The pipes should be strong enough, not rotten since it is better to change old plumbing parts for new ones.

Hydro jetting

It is a simple but effective way to clean pipes from buildups. A powerful stream of water under pressure is passed through the plumbing system, taking with it all the debris and plaque that interferes with the normal water flow. Only experienced professionals should be trusted to carry out such a procedure since an incorrectly chosen entry point or the presence of holes in the pipes can lead to disastrous consequences.

Your Pipes Are in Good Hands

Clogged pipes are an unfortunate situation. Some homeowners prefer to try and fix it themselves instead of paying to call professionals. In simple cases, getting by with a plunger is quite possible. However, if this tool does not help, the problem is much more complex, and you need our experts’ help. Contact us, and our technicians will conduct a comprehensive inspection of the system and identify and eliminate the cause of the clog.
