- Hydro jetting: This involves using high-pressure water to blast away any debris or blockages in the drain. Hydro jetting is a highly effective way to clear out stubborn clogs and is also safe for most types of pipes
- Snake auger: A snake auger, also known as a plumbing snake, is a long, flexible tool with a small auger at the end. It is used to reach into the drain and break up or remove any blockages
- Manual removal: If the blockage is within reach, our plumbers may be able to remove it manually using specialized tools such as a drain auger
Preventing Clogged Drains
By following these tips, you can help keep your drains flowing smoothly and avoid costly clogs in the future.- Avoid pouring grease down the drain: Grease can solidify and stick to the inside of your pipes, causing blockages over time. Instead, let grease cool and then dispose of it in the trash
- Use a drain cover: A drain cover or strainer can help catch hair, soap scum, and other debris before it has a chance to enter your pipes. This is especially important in bathroom sinks and showers
- Be careful of what you flush: Only flush toilet paper and human waste down the toilet. Other items such as feminine hygiene products, baby wipes, and paper towels can cause blockages in your pipes
- Avoid flushing large items: Even small items like toys or jewelry can cause blockages if they enter your pipes. Make sure to keep these types of items away from drains and toilets
- Use hot water regularly: Running hot water down your drains every week or so can help break up any grease or soap scum that may be accumulating in your pipes
- Schedule preventative maintenance: Regular professional drain cleaning and plumbing maintenance can help prevent future clogs and ensure that your plumbing is functioning properly. Call us for more details
