Drains We Clear

• Kitchen sinks. Grease, soap and food waste build up on the pipe wall until the sink drains slowly or stops.
• Bathroom sinks, tubs and showers. Hair and soap scum are the usual cause of standing water around your feet.
• Floor drains. A basement floor drain is often the first place a deeper backup shows up.
• Laundry drains. Lint and soap residue can slow a washer drain until it backs up.
• Main sewer line backups. When several drains slow down or back up at once, the blockage is usually in the main line. See our sewer repair page for what comes after the clog is cleared.

Signs You Need Drain Cleaning

• Slow drainage. Water takes longer than it used to to leave a sink, tub or shower.
• Gurgling. Bubbling from a drain or toilet when water runs somewhere else in the house.
• Bad smells. A sewage or rotten smell coming from a drain.
• Water coming back up. Water rising out of a drain, a toilet or a floor drain.
• More than one fixture affected. One slow sink is usually a local clog. Several at once point to the main line.

What Causes Clogs Around Here

Most of the clogs we clear come from the same few things: grease and food waste in kitchen drains, hair and soap in bathroom drains, and wipes or other items that should not go down the toilet. In older neighborhoods with mature trees, roots can work into small cracks in the sewer line and catch everything that passes. Roots and debris can also block the pipe that carries sump pump water out of the house. Many older homes also have clay or cast iron lines with rough spots where debris snags.

How We Clear Your Drain

1. We listen and diagnose. A licensed technician asks what you have noticed and finds where the blockage is.
2. You get the price first. We explain the options and give you an upfront flat-rate price before any work begins. There is no pressure, and we recommend what we would do in our own home.
3. We clear the drain. The technician uses the right tool for the blockage and checks that the drain flows freely before leaving.
4. We look deeper if it keeps coming back. For a recurring clog or a main line problem, a camera inspection shows what is inside the pipe. Learn about sewer line inspection.
5. We explain what we found. You get plain answers and tips to help keep the drain clear. We clean up after ourselves and back the work with our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
