Our Approach to Clogged Drain

We diagnose the clog using video inspection when needed, then choose the most effective clearing method - from drain snaking to hydro jetting for stubborn blockages.

What to Do While You Wait

1Stop using all water fixtures that connect to the affected drain to prevent overflowing.
2Do not use chemical drain cleaners, as they can damage pipes and create hazardous conditions for our plumbers.
3Clear the area around the drain to give our technicians easy access to the blockage.
4If the clog is in a sink or bathtub with standing water, use a bucket to remove as much water as possible before we arrive.

How to Prevent Future Issues

Use drain strainers or catchers in showers and sinks to trap hair and food debris.
Never pour grease, oil, or fat down kitchen sinks. Let it solidify and throw it in the trash.
Avoid flushing anything other than toilet paper and human waste down toilets (no "flushable" wipes).
Run hot water down drains after use to help clear out minor buildup before it forms a clog.
Consider routine drain cleaning to keep your plumbing system flowing smoothly.
