FAQs
What are the common signs that I need professional drain cleaning?
Common signs that you may need professional drain cleaning include slow draining sinks, recurring clogs, gurgling sounds from your drains, water backing up, and foul odors emanating from the drains. If you notice any of these signs, it's advisable to seek professional help to prevent further damage.
What drain cleaning methods do you use?
We utilize a variety of drain cleaning methods depending on the severity and type of clog. These include mechanical snaking, hydro-jetting, and chemical drain cleaners. For more persistent or complex blockages, we might use video camera inspections to locate and identify the problem accurately.
Can I use chemical drain cleaners to clear a clog?
While chemical drain cleaners can sometimes be effective for minor clogs, they often contain harsh chemicals that can damage your pipes and create health hazards. Overuse can lead to more significant plumbing issues. It's generally safer and more effective to consult a professional for persistent or severe clogs.
How can I prevent my drains from clogging in the future?
Preventive measures include avoiding pouring grease, coffee grounds, hair, and food scraps down your drains. Install drain screens to catch debris, and run hot water through your sinks regularly to help keep them clear. Routine maintenance by a professional can also prevent major clogs and keep your plumbing system in good condition.
Is professional drain cleaning expensive?
The cost of professional drain cleaning can vary based on several factors, such as the severity of the clog, the method used, and the time required to resolve the issue. However, investing in professional services can save you money in the long run by preventing extensive damage or frequent clogs that could lead to more costly repairs.
