Kitchens
Pro Tip: Avoid putting grease, oils and fats down the kitchen drain line.
The most common clogs in kitchen sinks can be traced to grease and cooking oils, and food in the drain line. Even small amounts of fatty substance can build up on the interior of the drain and close off water flow. Our professional kitchen drain snaking can clear minor clogs.
If the line is heavily clogged with grease and sludge, our safe and affordable hydro jetting service
is the best solution. With high pressure water, we can remove years of buildup and leave drains clear and smelling fresh.
Bathrooms
Pro Tip: Install a mesh strainer in the shower to prevent hair from clogging the drain.
Bathroom sinks and showers can become clogged with hair and accumulation of soap scum and other grooming products, as well as objects in the line. Toothpaste caps, jewelry, and other small items can easily fall into sink drains and become lodged. We will inspect the line with a video camera and can often retrieve precious items.
For clogged drains, we can perform a safe and professional snaking to remove hair buildup and ensure that heavy clogs do not cause leaks from excess pressure.
Toilets
Pro Tip: Avoid using a plunger as too much force can weaken seals and lead to leaks.
When the toilet is draining slow or clogged, it is best to hire a professional plumber to auger the line. If all other drains are running clear, it is likely a minor clog in the toilet trap.
If the tub or shower is also clogged and the toilet is bubbling, it indicates a main sewer line clog.
Main Sewer Lines
Pro Tip: Do not put non-flushable items (feminine hygiene products, wipes, paper towels) into the drain lines, as they can lead to clogged main sewer drains.
Main sewer drain clogs can become clogged from normal use, but most often it is from non-flushable items in the line, root intrusion, and breaks or deteriorating pipes.
A professional main sewer snaking is the first step in diagnosing the cause of the backup and will most often clear the line. If our plumbers encounter roots or hard blockages, we can recommend a sewer camera inspection
to view the line and determine the best method for repair.
Main sewer line hydro jetting can remove roots and heavy scale buildup, but if the line is damaged, we may need to recommend partial repair or sewer replacement.
