What types of clogs/obstructions does drain cleaning remove?

Our technicians use specialized tools to remove the following types of obstructions: Hair and Soap Scum – These are common culprits in bathrooms that wrap around components and trap other debris. Grease, Fat, and Oil – In the kitchen, these substances cool and solidify, coating the inside of your pipes. Tree Root Intrusion – For older homes with clay tile pipes, roots can grow into the lines, causing major structural blockages. Mineral and Sediment Buildup – Over time, scale from hard water can narrow the diameter of your pipes and restrict flow. Food Waste and Hard Debris – Items like coffee grounds, eggshells, or non-flushable products often lead to sudden, messy backups. Foreign Objects – From small toys to accidentally dropped jewelry, we can retrieve or clear items that shouldn't be in the system.

Our Professional Drain Cleaning Process

Our technicians arrive promptly and often perform a camera scope inspection to visually show you the exact cause of the blockage, ensuring total transparency before any work begins.
After diagnosing the issue, we present you with clear, honest service options and a firm price quote so you can make an informed decision without any pressure.
Once the job is completed quickly and tested for proper flow, our team performs an excellent cleanup, often leaving your home cleaner than it was when they started.

We Service All Residential Drains

Whether you are dealing with a slow-moving sink or a complete backup in your basement, keeping your home's drainage system healthy is a top priority for our team.

Our knowledgeable technicians have the skills and experience to clear blockages in various drains, including:

Floor Drains – Some homes have drains in the garage, basement, or laundry room. These drains get clogged with dust, dirt, and other debris.
Bathroom Drains – Bathroom drains are used daily to carry away soap, toothpaste, and hair. We recommend installing a drain cover and running hot water while brushing your teeth to help avoid bathroom drain clogs.
Kitchen Drains – Kitchen drains are sometimes coated with oil and grease. Never put hard foods, oil, or grease down your kitchen drains.

Signs You May Have a Clogged Drain

While a massive puddle in the basement is a clear red flag, many drainage issues start with much more subtle hints that are easy to overlook until you’re in a panic.

Contact us as soon as you notice any of the following clogged drain warning signs, including:

Odors near drains – Foul smells often indicate trapped food or organic matter that has begun to decay inside your pipes.
Water backup in drains – If water rises back up into your sink or tub, it's a sign that a blockage is preventing proper flow.
Bubbling water after flushing the toilet – This "gurgling" often means air is trapped in the lines due to a clog further down the system.
Strange wet areas on your lawn – For older homes with clay tile pipes, soft spots in the yard can signal a broken sewer line or root intrusion.
Slow-moving drains that make noise – When a drain takes forever to empty and makes a "glug-glug" sound, it’s struggling to breathe past a buildup of hair, grease, or debris.
