5 Common Problems that Drain Cleaning Can Solve

Are you unsure if you need professional drain cleaning? Here are some warning signs that your drains need immediate attention:

  • Slow-draining sinks or tubs. Water pooling or draining slowly is a sign of buildup.
  • Frequent clogs. If you’re using a plunger more than usual, the clog is deeper in the system.
  • Gurgling sounds. Unusual noises from your drains may indicate a blockage or venting issue.
  • Foul odors. Persistent sewer smells often mean a clog or buildup in the pipes.
  • Water backups. If water is coming up through sinks, tubs, or toilets, you need immediate drain cleaning service.

Ignoring these warning signs can lead to more significant problems, such as pipe damage or sewage backups.

Preventing Future Clogs: Maintenance Tips for Homeowners

A little preventative maintenance goes a long way in keeping your drains clear and avoiding costly repairs. 

Here’s how you can keep your drains flowing smoothly:

  • Avoid pouring grease or oil down the drain: These substances harden and cause buildup.
  • Use drain strainers: Catch hair, food scraps, and other debris before they enter the pipes.
  • Run hot water after each use: This helps flush away small blockages before they form.
  • Schedule regular professional drain cleanings: An annual maintenance visit can prevent major clogs.

For complete peace of mind, consider joining our Signature Club, which includes routine drain inspections and maintenance discounts.

Our Drain Cleaning Process

We take a comprehensive approach to ensure your drains are clear and functioning properly:

  • Initial inspection and diagnosis. We assess the drain issue using professional diagnostic tools.  
  • Drain snaking or hydro jetting. Based on the severity of the clog, we use specialized equipment to clear blockages.  
  • Thorough pipe cleaning. We remove buildup, grease, and debris to restore full water flow.  
  • Final system check. We test your drainage system to ensure everything is working properly.  
  • Preventative recommendations. Our team offers expert advice on maintaining clear drains and preventing future clogs.
