How Clogged Drain Repair Works

1

Identify the Clog Location

We figure out which drain is clogged, whether it's a single fixture or multiple drains, and where the blockage likely is.

2

Clear the Blockage

We use drain snakes, augers, or hydro jetting to break through and remove the clog. For severe issues, we may use a camera to see what's causing the problem.

3

Test the Flow

After clearing, we run water to make sure it's draining properly and there's no remaining blockage.

4

Explain Prevention

We let you know what likely caused the clog and how to avoid future issues, like avoiding grease in kitchen drains or using drain screens.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I just use drain cleaner instead of calling a plumber?
Chemical drain cleaners often don't work on serious clogs and can damage your pipes over time. If a plunger doesn't clear it quickly, it's better to call a plumber who can remove the clog properly without harming your plumbing.
How long does it take to clear a clogged drain?
Most simple clogs can be cleared in 30 to 60 minutes. Severe clogs, main line issues, or root intrusions may take longer and require camera inspection or hydro jetting.
Why does my drain keep clogging?
Recurring clogs are usually caused by buildup (grease, hair, soap scum), improper venting, a partially collapsed pipe, or tree roots growing into the line. We'll identify the cause and recommend a permanent solution.
What if multiple drains are backing up at once?
If more than one drain is clogged or backing up, it's likely a main sewer line issue. This is more serious and requires immediate attention. Call us right away so we can inspect and clear the main line before sewage backs up into your home.
