Our Drain Cleaning Solutions
Drain Snaking (Augering)
A specialized plumbing snake (auger) is used to break apart minor clogs and debris buildup. This method is ideal for sinks, bathtubs, and shower drains.
Hydro-Jetting (High-Pressure Water Cleaning)
For tough blockages and heavy grease or root intrusion, we use hydro-jetting—a powerful, high-pressure water stream that flushes out stubborn clogs, scale buildup, and debris inside your pipes.
Sewer Camera Inspections
If frequent clogs are a problem, we perform sewer camera inspections to locate hidden blockages, pipe cracks, or root intrusions. This allows for precise, targeted solutions instead of guesswork.
Drain Line Repair & Replacement
If a drain clog is caused by broken, collapsed, or corroded pipes, we provide drain line repairs and full replacements to ensure long-term plumbing health.
Preventative Tip: Avoid pouring grease, coffee grounds, and food scraps down the sink. Use drain screens in showers and bathtubs to catch hair and soap scum before they cause blockages.
Common Causes of Drain Clogs
✔ Hair Buildup – A leading cause of bathroom drain clogs, hair combines with soap and forms blockages over time.
✔
Grease & Food Waste – Cooking oils, fats, and food scraps can
harden inside pipes and restrict water flow.
✔
Soap Scum & Mineral Deposits – Hard water minerals and soap residue can
coat pipe walls, reducing drainage efficiency.
✔
Foreign Objects – Accidentally flushed items like
wipes, cotton swabs, and paper towels can block drains.
✔
Tree Root Intrusions – Roots seeking moisture can
invade sewer lines, causing severe blockages and pipe damage.
Signs You Need Professional Drain Cleaning
A slow drain might seem like a small inconvenience at first, but ignoring early warning signs can lead to major plumbing problems. Here’s how to tell when it’s time to call a professional:
1. Slow-Draining Sinks, Tubs, or Showers
If water takes longer than usual to drain from your sink or tub, it could mean a clog is forming deep inside your pipes. The longer you wait, the worse it will get.
Early Fix: Try flushing the drain with hot water and a mix of baking soda and vinegar. If the issue persists, professional cleaning may be needed.
2. Recurring Clogs That Keep Coming Back
Does your sink or shower drain seem to clog over and over again, no matter how many times you try to clear it? This likely means there’s a deeper blockage in your plumbing system, which DIY methods won’t fix.
Solution: A plumber can use drain snaking or hydro-jetting to remove stubborn, recurring clogs permanently.
3. Standing Water in Sinks, Bathtubs, or Showers
If water pools in your sink or tub instead of draining properly, you may have a full blockage. This can lead to bacteria buildup, mold growth, and unpleasant odors.
Warning: If multiple fixtures are affected at once, it could be a bigger problem in your main sewer line.
4. Gurgling Sounds from Drains or Toilets
Hearing gurgling or bubbling noises when you flush the toilet or run the sink? This is often a sign of air trapped inside your pipes, caused by a clog or venting issue.
What It Means: If left untreated, this can lead to slow drainage, sewer gas odors, or even a full pipe backup.
5. Foul Odors Coming from Your Drain
If you notice a musty, rotten, or sewage-like smell coming from your drains, it could mean:
✔ Food waste and grease buildup inside kitchen drains.
✔ Bacteria growth and decaying debris inside bathroom drains.
✔ Sewer gas escaping through clogged or broken pipes.
Immediate Action: A professional drain cleaning service can eliminate odor-causing buildup and restore proper drainage.
6. Water Backing Up from Multiple Drains at Once
If you flush the toilet and water starts bubbling up in your shower, or if multiple sinks and tubs drain slowly at the same time, you might have a main sewer line clog.
Warning: This is a serious issue—if left untreated, it could lead to a full sewage backup into your home. Call our plumbing company immediately!

FAQs
Can I use chemical drain cleaners to unclog my sink?
It’s not recommended. Many store-bought chemical cleaners corrode pipes over time, leading to leaks and costly repairs. Professional drain cleaning is safer and more effective.
How often should I have my drains cleaned?
We recommend annual drain cleaning for preventative maintenance, especially in high-use areas like kitchens and bathrooms.
What’s the best way to prevent clogged drains?
Avoid washing grease, coffee grounds, and food scraps down kitchen drains. In bathrooms, use drain strainers to trap hair and soap residue before they cause blockages.
What is the difference between snaking and hydro-jetting?
Snaking is best for small, localized clogs, while hydro-jetting is used for severe blockages and full pipe cleaning. Hydro-jetting is more powerful and removes years of buildup inside pipes.
Why do my drains keep clogging even after using a plunger?
Persistent clogs may indicate a deeper blockage, pipe damage, or sewer line issues. A professional drain inspection can pinpoint the root cause and prevent recurring problems.
