Professional Drain Repair Services
Clogged drains are one of the most common plumbing problems that can lead to drain repairs in your home. Food accumulation, grease, and foreign debris often cause clogged drains. Additionally, flushing anything other than toilet paper can clog and damage the pipes, leading to issues. Malfunctioning defects, aggressive drain cleaning, shifting foundations, or age-related pipe stress can all cause damage and drainage issues.
If you notice a foul smell coming from your drains, chances are there is a blockage, and it has been building for a while. The cause of the odor can be due to anything from bacterial buildup to rotting debris. Bacteria and stagnant water in your drains can result in mold growth, poor air quality, and health issues. Having a plumber fix your drain problem as soon as possible can help keep both you and your home healthy.
There are many signs to look for that can indicate drain repair services may be necessary sooner rather than later:
- Unusable fixtures
- Water draining slowly
- Water damage
- Gurgling sounds
- Frequent clogs
When clogs are deep inside a pipe, our plumbers use a drain snake to break up a clog. Our plumbers use a drain snake, also called a plumbing auger, to clear tough clogs from pipes. This flexible metal cable is pushed into the drain either by hand or with a machine until it reaches the clog. By turning the snake, our plumbers either break up the clog or hook it to remove it. This method is good for clearing common blockages caused by hair, soap, grease, or food debris.
Drain snakes work well for small clogs in sinks, tubs, and toilets, especially when plungers don’t work. Our plumbers carefully move the tool to avoid damaging the pipes while restoring water flow. It’s a cheap, reliable solution that doesn’t use strong chemicals. After removing the clog, we flush the drain to make sure it is clear and flows smoothly.
Our plumbers also use a high-pressure hydro jetter to clear blocked drains. They push water with strong force through the pipes to remove tough clogs like grease, soap scum, tree roots, and other debris that basic snaking might miss. First, they check the drain with a small camera to find the clog. Once they know where it is, they insert the jet nozzle into the pipe and release powerful streams of water, up to 4,000 PSI, to clean the inside of the drain. This process breaks up the blockage and also cleans the pipe walls, helping the drain work like new and preventing future problems. It works well for both homes and businesses. With skill and care, the plumber makes sure the job is done safely and the drain stays clear.
