Our Drain Cleaning Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we assess what’s causing the blockage. Sometimes it’s obvious, sometimes it’s not. For recurring problems or slow drains, we use video inspection to see exactly what’s happening inside your pipes.

Next comes the actual cleaning. We use professional-grade equipment – cable machines for most clogs, hydro-jetting for grease buildup and stubborn blockages. The method depends on your specific situation and the condition of your pipes.

After clearing the blockage, we test the flow to make sure everything’s working properly. You’ll see the difference immediately. For complex problems, we explain what caused the issue and how to prevent it from happening again. No mystery, no confusion about what just happened to your plumbing.

How do I know if I need professional drain cleaning?

Call for professional drain cleaning when water drains slowly despite trying store-bought solutions, when you notice gurgling sounds from your drains, or when you’re dealing with recurring clogs in the same location. Bad smells coming from drains also indicate buildup that needs professional attention. If multiple drains in your home are slow or backing up, that usually points to a main line issue that requires professional equipment to resolve properly.
Professional drain cleaning uses methods appropriate for your pipe material and condition. We assess your system first and choose techniques that clear blockages without causing damage. Chemical drain cleaners from the store are actually more likely to harm older pipes than professional mechanical cleaning. Modern equipment allows for effective cleaning while protecting pipe integrity, especially important in Walnut Grove where many homes have older plumbing systems.
Most drain cleaning jobs take 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the severity and location of the blockage. Simple sink or tub clogs often clear quickly, while main sewer line blockages or multiple affected drains take longer. If video inspection is needed to locate the problem, add extra time for that process. Complex issues involving tree roots or extensive buildup may require additional time, but you’ll know the scope before work begins.
Recurring clogs usually indicate an underlying issue that wasn’t addressed. Tree root intrusion, pipe damage, or improper pipe slope can cause repeated blockages. Sometimes the initial cleaning only addressed the immediate blockage without removing all buildup from pipe walls. Habits like putting grease down kitchen drains or flushing inappropriate items also lead to recurring problems. Professional video inspection can identify the root cause so the real problem gets fixed.
Hydro-jetting isn’t always necessary, but it’s the most thorough cleaning method available. It’s particularly effective for grease buildup, soap scum, and mineral deposits that cable cleaning might not completely remove. For older pipes or fragile systems, traditional cable cleaning might be more appropriate. We’ll recommend the best method based on your specific blockage type, pipe condition, and the severity of buildup in your system.
Avoid putting grease, coffee grounds, and food scraps down kitchen drains. Use drain screens to catch hair and debris in bathroom drains. Run hot water after each use to help clear minor buildup. Avoid chemical drain cleaners that can damage pipes over time. For homes with tree roots near sewer lines, periodic professional cleaning prevents major blockages. Regular maintenance cleaning every 1-2 years keeps drains flowing smoothly and catches problems before they become emergencies.
