Drain Cleaning — What It Is and Why It Matters

What drain cleaning includes

• Inspection: Video camera inspection of the drain lines to identify clogs, grease build-up, hair mats, roots, corrosion, bellies, or collapsed sections.

• Mechanical snaking: Using hand or powered drain snakes to remove blockages such as hair, soap scum, and small tree roots.

• Hydro-jetting: High-pressure water blasting to clear grease, mineral scale, and heavy buildup from pipe walls for a deeper clean.

• Chemical-safe treatments: When appropriate, using enzyme-based or biodegradable products that break down organic material without harming pipes or the environment.

• Flushing and testing: Running water through the system and re-inspecting with camera to confirm flow is restored and that no hidden damage exists.

• Preventive maintenance: Scheduled cleanings, trap clearing, and homeowner guidance to prevent reoccurrence.

Common causes of drain problems

• Hair and soap scum in bathroom drains.

• Grease, coffee grounds, and food particles in kitchen sinks.

• Foreign objects and toys in bathtub or laundry drains.

• Tree root intrusion into older sewer lines.

• Mineral scale and hard-water deposits narrowing pipes.

• Corroded or collapsed pipe sections.

• Poor plumbing slope (bellies) that trap solids.

Signs you need professional drain cleaning

• Slow draining sinks, tubs, or showers.

• Recurrent clogs or repeated plunging.

• Gurgling sounds from drains or toilets.

• Sewage odor from drains or floor drains.

• Water backing up in other fixtures when one fixture is used.

• Wet spots, soggy yard, or unexplained increases in water bills (possible sewer-line issues).

Why professional cleaning is better than DIY fixes

• Accurate diagnosis: Camera inspections show the root cause; plungers and store-bought chemicals only treat symptoms.

• Safer for pipes: Professionals use equipment and methods (like hydro-jetting at the right pressure) that clean without causing damage to older or fragile pipes.

• Long-term results: Thorough removal of buildup and roots reduces repeat clogs and extends pipe life.

• Code and warranty considerations: Improper chemical use or mechanical force can void warranties or violate local codes.

• Faster, more reliable: Experienced technicians clear blockages more efficiently and can identify underlying issues before they become emergencies.

Hydro-jetting: when and why we use it

• Best for severe grease, scale, and root intrusion.

• Cleans the entire pipe circumference, restoring flow and reducing odors.

• Preferred when camera inspection shows heavy, layered buildup.

• Not used if pipes are severely corroded or structurally compromised; in those cases pipe repair or replacement is recommended.

Preventive tips for homeowners

• Avoid pouring grease, oils, and coffee grounds down the sink.

• Use hair catchers in showers and clean them regularly.

• Don’t flush wipes, sanitary products, or disposable diapers.

• Run hot water for 15–30 seconds after dishwashing to help flush oils.

• Schedule periodic professional cleanings—frequency depends on age of plumbing and household habits (once a yearDrain Cleaning — What It Is and Why It Matters
