OUR CLOGGED DRAIN REPAIR SERVICES
When you call Ultimate Plumbing to unclog a blocked drain, our technicians will first diagnose the specific cause of the clog using cutting-edge inspection cameras and locating equipment. Once we’ve identified the type and location of the blockage, we use the most appropriate methods and tools to clear it fully.
Common unclogging techniques we use include:
- Auger Snaking: We feed a long, coiled auger drain snake down the pipe. The rotating metal tip latches onto debris, loosening the clog for drain cleaning. This works on clogs close to drain openings.
- High-Pressure Water Jetting: For deeper clogs, we blast pressurized water through the pipes to scour the inside walls and push out debris.
- Drain Removal: If necessary, we’ll remove sections of the damaged drain pipe so we can manually extract debris and inspect the pipes.
- Chemical Dissolving Agents: Natural enzyme or acid-based formulas help dissolve organic material, hair, grease, and soap buildup clogging pipes.
- Video Inspection: We thoroughly inspect the drain line with a small waterproof camera after unclogging. This confirms we cleared all debris and checked for additional issues needing repair.
In most cases, we can clear a drain clog without requiring major pipe replacement. Our goal is to get your drain functioning properly again with minimal disruption to your home.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW CAN I AVOID CLOGGING MY DRAINS?
You can prevent clogs by avoiding pouring grease down sinks, using a drain strainer to catch hair and debris, limiting the use of the garbage disposal, performing regular drain cleaning, and not flushing wipes or other unsuitable items that could get caught in drain pipes.
DOES USING BOILING WATER OR BAKING SODA TO CLEAR A CLOG WORK?
Pouring boiling water or baking soda down a clogged drain is unlikely to fully clear a severe clog on its own. The hot water and gritty baking soda can help melt grease buildup, but most clogs also involve soap scum, food debris, roots, and other gunk that won’t budge with hot water and baking soda alone. You’re better off calling a plumber to properly diagnose and clear your drain.
WHAT SHOULD I DO IN THE MEANTIME IF I HAVE A CLOGGED DRAIN?
Until your plumbers arrive, avoid running any water down the clogged drain as it will likely back up. Place buckets under sinks to catch water. Locate your main shut-off valve in case the clog causes wastewater to back up and shut off the water supply to your home. Avoid using chemical liquid drain cleaners.
WHAT ARE SOME SIGNS MY MAIN SEWER LINE IS CLOGGED?
Some signs your main sewer line is obstructed include slow flushing toilets or tubs and showers draining slowly, gurgling sounds from pipes, sewage backups into your home, water pooling around floor drains or in the yard, and overflowing manhole covers. If you experience any of these issues, call a plumber right away for sewer line cleaning.
