Professional drain cleaning
Slow drains and recurring clogs are more than an inconvenience — they can indicate deeper issues in your plumbing system that require professional attention. Our drain cleaning services use specialized equipment including hydro-jetting and motorized augers to clear blockages thoroughly and restore proper flow.
Unlike chemical drain cleaners that can damage pipes and only provide temporary relief, professional drain cleaning removes the source of the blockage completely. We diagnose the cause of recurring clogs and recommend solutions that address the root problem, not just the symptom.
Hydro-jetting technology
Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water streams to scour the interior of pipes, removing grease buildup, mineral deposits, soap scum, and tree root intrusions. This environmentally friendly method cleans pipes more thoroughly than mechanical augers and restores the full interior diameter of your drain lines.
Hydro-jetting is particularly effective for commercial kitchen drains where grease buildup is common, and for main sewer lines where debris and root growth cause blockages. The high-pressure water not only clears the current blockage but also removes accumulated debris that could cause future clogs.
Drain inspection and diagnosis
Before clearing a stubborn blockage, we often perform a video camera inspection to identify the exact location and nature of the problem. A small waterproof camera is inserted into the drain line, providing real-time video of the interior condition. This allows us to make an accurate diagnosis and choose the most effective clearing method.
Video inspection also reveals pipe damage, corrosion, offset joints, and root intrusion that may require repair beyond simple cleaning. Identifying these issues early prevents more extensive damage and allows you to plan for necessary repairs before an emergency occurs.
Preventive drain maintenance
Regular drain cleaning prevents emergencies and extends the life of your plumbing system. For residential properties, annual drain cleaning helps prevent the buildup that leads to slow drains and backups. For commercial properties, more frequent cleaning is often needed based on usage.
Simple preventive measures like using drain strainers, avoiding pouring grease down the drain, and flushing drains with hot water regularly help maintain flow between professional cleanings. Our team provides guidance on best practices for your specific plumbing configuration.
