FAQs

What causes drains to become clogged in my home?

Drains can become clogged due to a variety of reasons including a buildup of hair, soap scum, grease, food particles, and foreign objects that accidentally enter the drains. In some cases, tree roots can infiltrate the sewer lines, leading to blockages.

How can I prevent my drains from getting clogged?

To prevent clogs, avoid pouring grease, oil, and coffee grounds down the sink, use a drain strainer to catch hair and debris, and periodically flush your drains with hot water. Also, be mindful of what you flush down the toilet; only flush human waste and toilet paper.

What are the signs that my drain is clogged?

Common signs of a clogged drain include water draining slowly, gurgling sounds from the drain, unpleasant odors, and in severe cases, water backup in sinks, tubs, or toilets.

What methods do you use to open clogged drains?

We use a variety of methods to open clogged drains, including mechanical augers (drain snakes), hydro jetting which uses high-pressure water to clear the pipes, and video camera inspections to identify the exact location and cause of the clog.

Are chemical drain cleaners safe to use?

While chemical drain cleaners can sometimes provide a temporary fix, they can also damage your pipes and create harmful fumes. Additionally, they are often ineffective against severe clogs. It's generally safer and more effective to call a professional plumber to address the issue.
