Symptoms
Signs You Need Drain Cleaning
If you notice any of the issues below, it is usually smarter to clear the drain early rather than wait for a full backup.
Slow Drains
Water pools in sinks, tubs, or showers and takes a long time to drain, even after basic cleaning.
Recurring Clogs
The same drain clogs again and again, which usually means buildup deeper in the line.
Gurgling or Odors
Gurgling sounds, sewer smells, or bubbling toilets can signal a drainage or venting issue that needs attention.
Multiple Drains Affected
When more than one fixture is slow or backing up, the problem may be in a shared line or the main drain.
Backups or Overflows
Water backing up into sinks, tubs, or floor drains is urgent and can lead to damage quickly.
Water Damage Risk
Leaks, wet cabinets, or soft flooring near fixtures can happen when clogs and backups go too far.
How It Works
What Our Drain Cleaning Service Includes
Every drain problem is different. Some are simple localized clogs, and others are caused by deeper buildup or main line issues. Our process is designed to clear the drain correctly and reduce repeat problems.
1) Identify the cause: we confirm whether the clog is in the fixture trap, branch line, or main drain line.
2) Clear the blockage: we use proven clearing methods appropriate for the situation and the condition of your plumbing.
3) Confirm flow and function: we verify drainage performance and check for common contributors to repeat clogs.

If a clog is tied to older piping problems, re-piping may be the long-term fix. See re-piping services.
