Phoenix homeowners know that blocked drains can be a common issue in any home, but they can often be resolved with a few simple steps. A drain snake can come in handy if you're dealing with a stubborn clog, especially in your shower drain caused by hair, soap residue, or other bathroom items. However, if the problem persists, you can try these methods or reach out to us for expert help and to schedule a service for a clogged drain in Phoenix:

• Fill your sink with water, but be careful not to let it overflow.
• If you have a two-section kitchen sink, cover one section with a damp cloth to create pressure.
• If your bathroom sink is clogged, cover the overflow opening.
• Use a plunger on the open drain.
• Push the plunger up and down a few times, lift it off, and repeat the process several more times.

Usually, these steps can clear the clog and get your drain working correctly again. But if you still need assistance, don't hesitate to contact our clogged drain professionals. Our experts are always ready to use their skills to ensure your drain functions as it should.

Phoenix homeowners may be surprised to learn our licensed plumbers do not recommend using chemical drain cleaners on a clogged drain. Phoenix homeowners often find these store-bought chemical cleaners to be an efficient way to deal with a blocked drain. However, chemical cleaners can not only cause damage to your pipes, they can also cause a clog to toughen, as the caustic chemicals react with the materials in the pipes, resulting in an even tougher clogged drain Phoenix residents can’t remove on their own.

Instead, it is recommended to contact a professional plumber who can use alternative methods during your drain cleaning service, such as HydroScrub^® Jetting or drain snaking, to safely and effectively unclog your drain without causing further damage. These methods not only remove the clog but also mitigate the risk of future blockages or clogged drains. Phoenix homeowners can also ask our plumber about our BioChoice ES, an enviromentally-friendly, chemical-free, non-damaging solution that can help prevent future clogs by breaking down organic matter in your drain that may cause a drain clog. Phoenix homeowners will have peace of mind knowing that our professional plumbers are trained to identify any underlying issues that may be causing frequent clogs and can provide guidance on how to address them to maintain a healthy plumbing system in your home.

Phoenix homeowners may be more surprised about how small the list of things that won’t clog your drains in Phoenix. Clogged drains tend to develop gradually due to various factors like grease, hair, food scraps, soap residue, debris, and more accumulating in your plumbing system. Occasionally, factors beyond your influence can lead to a sewer system backup, with tree roots invading pipes being a significant cause. These roots can break through pipe defenses and grow inside them, causing issues with clogged pipes and clogged drains.

While things like invasive tree roots can be hard for the average homeowner to prevent, one way you can prevent the need for our Phoenix clogged drain services is to not send items down your drains like:

• Food waste, such as coffee grounds or food particles
• Kitchen grease
• Hair
• Paper towels
• Toys
• Cell phones
• Soap scum
• Rocks
• Feminine hygiene products
• Q-tips
• And more!

Pipes naturally clog with debris, grease, oil, hair buildup, toothpaste, and other elements. Pipe buildups can lead to corrosion and additional damage caused by drain clogs. Phoenix homeowners can prevent nasty clogs with our preventative plumbing maintenance services. We routinely inspect and clean your pipes to help blast away debris that can cause clogged drains. Phoenix residents can also ask about our enzymatic drain cleaner, an environmentally friendly solution that helps remove years of buildup. If you have some problem areas in your system, our Phoenix clogged drain experts may recommend scheduling regular Hydro Scrub services, a process that pushes a stream of high-powered water into your pipes to send buildup through the main line. From there, a camera inspection can see the condition of the pipes and determine if any repair needs to be done to fix damage caused by your clogged drain. Phoenix homeowners can trust that with our professionals taking care of your plumbing system, you will experience fewer clogged drain issues and enjoy a smoothly functioning plumbing system.
