Professional drain cleaning is the best and most effective way to fix clogged or slow-draining pipes, ensuring that your plumbing system functions smoothly for longer. It involves a series of specialized techniques and tools designed to eliminate blockages and prevent future issues, which are far beyond what most homeowners can achieve on their own using readily available materials and supplies.
Initially, our drain cleaning professionals will inspect the problem, often using a camera to inspect the pipes. This helps us pinpoint the exact location and cause of the clog. Whether the problem is grease buildup, tree root intrusion, or foreign objects lodged in the pipes, we’ll usually be able to find out during the inspection. Once the problem is identified, we will determine the most suitable method to clear the blockage.
Common tools include hydro-jetting, which uses high-pressure water to blast away debris and buildup from the pipes, and drain snaking, a flexible cable that can break through obstructions and clear the path. These techniques are highly effective and safe for most plumbing systems.
In addition to clearing clogs, professional drain cleaning also involves preventative measures. Once we’re done with a job, we may recommend regular maintenance schedules, where minor issues can be addressed before they escalate into serious problems. We can also advise on what should or should not go down the drains, which will hopefully help you avoid future clogs.
Professional drain cleaning improves the efficiency and longevity of your plumbing system, saving you from costly repairs or replacements down the road. Regular maintenance is an investment in the health of your home’s plumbing.
