Bathroom Drain Problems

• Hair and Soap Buildup: Over time, hair and soap residue can accumulate in bathroom drains, leading to slow drainage and clogs.
• Toilet Paper Blockages: Excessive use of toilet paper or flushing non-disposable items can cause toilet drains to become blocked.
• Foreign Objects: Small items like jewelry or hygiene products can accidentally (or purposely, if you have small children!) fall into sink or bathtub drains, causing obstructions.

Kitchen Sink Issues

• Grease and Food Buildup: Pouring cooking oil and food scraps down the kitchen sink can lead to the buildup of grease and debris, resulting in slow draining.
• Food Clogs: Food particles, especially those that expand when wet, can create blockages in kitchen drain pipes.
• Dishwasher Drain Problems: Dishwashers can sometimes contribute to kitchen drain issues if not properly connected or maintained.

Outdoor Drain Challenges

• Tree Root Intrusion: Tree roots can infiltrate and block outdoor drain pipes, particularly in sewer lines.
• Leaves and Debris: Outdoor drains can become clogged with leaves, dirt, and debris, especially during the fall season.
• Sediment Accumulation: Sediment buildup in outdoor drains can reduce water flow and lead to blockages.

1. Slow Drainage: If water is taking longer to drain from your sink, shower, or bathtub, it’s a clear indication of a blockage.
2. Gurgling Sounds: Unusual gurgling noises coming from your drains can signal trapped air due to blockages.
3. Foul Odors: Persistent unpleasant odors emanating from your drains are often a result of trapped debris and organic matter.
4. Water Backups: When water starts backing up into your sinks or tubs, it’s a definite sign of a clog.

Chemical drain cleaners can be harsh and may damage your pipes or pose health risks. Snaking your drains without the proper experience can also lead to unintentional damage. For safe and effective results, it’s best to leave drain cleaning to the professionals.

Drain Snaking

For common clogs and blockages, we utilize drain snaking, a method that involves inserting a flexible auger into the drain to break up and clear obstructions. This approach is effective for issues like hair and soap buildup in bathroom drains or minor kitchen sink clogs.

Hydro Jetting

When faced with more stubborn and extensive clogs or debris accumulation, we turn to hydro jetting. This highly efficient technique employs high-pressure water jets to dislodge and remove blockages, grease, and sediment from your pipes.
