Our Drain Cleaning Process
We begin with a detailed assessment to determine what’s causing the blockage or restricted flow. In many cases, video camera inspections allow us to evaluate hard-to-reach sections of sewer or drain lines without unnecessary digging or disruption. Once the issue is identified, we select the most appropriate cleaning method based on the condition of the pipe and the type of obstruction. This may include mechanical snaking or other proven tools designed to remove buildup, debris, or lodged materials while protecting the integrity of the system. When appropriate, we may also recommend routine maintenance to keep sewer and drain systems performing reliably over time.
Why Drains Clog
Drain clogs often start small and develop gradually before becoming more disruptive. In bathrooms, hair commonly combines with soap residue, creating buildup that restricts water flow inside pipes. Kitchen drains face different challenges, as grease, fats, and food particles can settle along pipe walls and harden, eventually leading to slow drainage or complete blockages. Hard water also plays a role, as minerals can mix with soap residue and form a crusty interior layer that narrows pipes from the inside.
In other situations, clogs happen suddenly when foreign objects such as wipes, cotton swabs, or small items accidentally enter the drain. Sewer lines may also be affected by shifting soil, root intrusion, or aging pipe materials common in older infrastructure. Addressing these issues early helps maintain consistent drainage and reduces the likelihood of more disruptive repairs.
Signs You Might Have a Clogged Drain
Drain problems often provide early warning signs before a complete blockage occurs. Slow drainage in sinks, tubs, or showers can indicate buildup forming inside the line. Standing water around drains typically signals a more significant obstruction that needs attention. Gurgling sounds after using a sink or flushing a toilet may point to trapped air caused by partial clogs. Unpleasant odors coming from drains can also indicate debris or food waste breaking down inside the pipe. Recognizing these signs early allows issues to be addressed before they escalate.
