FAQs
What are the signs that my drain is clogged?
Common signs of a clogged drain include slow drainage, water backup, gurgling sounds from the drain, or an unpleasant odor coming from the sink or bathtub. If you notice any of these signs, it may be time to get your drains checked and cleaned.
How often should I have my drains professionally cleaned?
It is recommended to have your drains professionally cleaned at least once a year to prevent buildup and clogs. However, if you frequently experience slow drains or backups, you may need to schedule cleanings more often.
Can I use chemical drain cleaners to clear a clog?
While chemical drain cleaners can sometimes clear minor clogs, they are not recommended for regular use. These chemicals can damage your pipes and are harmful to the environment. It is better to use mechanical methods, such as a plunger or drain snake, or seek professional help for stubborn clogs.
What should I do if my main sewer line is clogged?
If you suspect a clog in your main sewer line, it is important to call a professional plumber immediately. Signs include multiple drains backing up simultaneously, water backing up in unexpected places, and sewer smells. A professional plumber will have the equipment and expertise to safely clear the clog.
How can I prevent my drains from clogging?
Preventative measures include not pouring grease down the drain, using drain strainers to catch hair and food particles, and regularly cleaning drains with a mixture of vinegar and baking soda followed by hot water. Regular professional inspections can also help catch potential issues before they become severe.
Do you offer emergency drain cleaning services?
Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency drain cleaning services. If you have a drain emergency, such as a severe clog causing water backup or flooding, contact us immediately, and our skilled plumbers will respond promptly to resolve the issue.
