Choosing a Drain Cleaning Method
We use drain snaking, hydro jetting, and video camera inspections. The appropriate method depends on the location of the blockage and the condition of the line. Tell us about previous clearing attempts and how soon the clog returned so we can discuss inspection and cleaning options.
One Slow Drain or Several Backed-Up Fixtures?
A problem limited to one sink or shower may be close to that fixture. Several fixtures backing up can require investigation farther along the shared drain. Describe which fixtures are affected, whether they gurgle and when the backup occurs. An inspection is needed to identify the cause.
What to Tell Us Before a Drain Visit
Mention any drain-cleaning products already used, previous repairs and access to the affected fixture. Ask what the proposed cleaning includes and whether a camera inspection would help explain recurring problems. Cleaning can remove a blockage; damaged piping may require a separate repair.
- Identify the affected fixtures and when the problem started.
- Report recurring clogs, odors or wastewater backing up.
- Discuss pipe repair when inspection reveals damage rather than assuming every blockage needs replacement.
