Common Problem Areas We Service
Kitchen Drains
Kitchen drains face unique challenges with food particles, grease, and soap residue. Our specialized techniques remove these stubborn materials to restore full flow.
Bathroom Drains
Hair, soap scum, and personal products commonly clog bathroom drains. We clear sinks, showers, tubs, and toilet drains without damage to fixtures or finishes.
Floor Drains
Basement, garage, and outdoor floor drains require regular maintenance to prevent backups. We clean and service these often-neglected drains to prevent flooding.
Main Sewer Lines
Your main sewer line is critical infrastructure that requires professional attention. Our powerful equipment clears blockages from roots, debris, and buildup.
Our Drain Cleaning Methods
We utilize multiple drain cleaning techniques based on your specific situation, selecting the most appropriate method for optimal results.
| Method | Best For | Benefits | Limitations |
|---|---|---|---|
Snaking/Augering  | Localized clogs, hair blockages, smaller drains | Quick, affordable, minimal equipment needed | May not clear entire pipe wall, grease deposits, or tree roots |
Hydro Jetting  | Grease buildup, sludge, tree roots, comprehensive cleaning | Cleans entire pipe circumference, removes all debris, longer-lasting results | Higher cost, not suitable for damaged pipes |
Video Inspection & Targeted Clearing  | Unknown blockage causes, recurring issues, preventative maintenance | Precise diagnosis, targeted treatment, documentation of issues | Requires access point, additional equipment |
Enzyme Treatments  | Preventative maintenance, organic buildup, grease deposits | Environmentally friendly, ongoing prevention, safe for all pipes | Slower acting, not effective for solid blockages |
Our technicians will recommend the most effective approach after evaluating your specific drain issues.
Frequently Asked Questions
Snaking uses a mechanical cable to break through or retrieve blockages and works well for simple clogs. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour pipe walls clean, removing built-up debris, grease, and even roots, providing a more thorough cleaning.
Regular preventative maintenance, careful disposal practices (no grease, food, hair, or non-flushable items), installing drain screens, and periodic professional cleaning all help prevent most common clogs.
We generally avoid harsh chemical drain cleaners as they can damage pipes and create hazardous conditions. Instead, we utilize professional-grade equipment like augers, snakes, and hydro jetters for more effective, long-lasting results.
For most homes, annual preventative drain cleaning is recommended, though high-use areas like kitchen sinks or homes with multiple bathrooms may benefit from more frequent maintenance every 6-9 months.
