Importance of Drain Cleaning
If you ignore your drains, over time they will fill with debris, such as food, grease, hair, soap residue, and more. Clogged drains restrict your home’s flow of wastewater and can leave you dealing with frustrating water backup. If severe enough, you may even notice slow drains throughout your home—or, in a worst-case scenario, experience damage to the overall plumbing.
Clogged drains can also expose you to highly-contaminated sewage if they’re bad enough. This poses several health and hygiene concerns for you, so it’s important to address the issue.
Keeping your drains clean is key to having a functioning plumbing system. If you need help managing your drain pipes, our expert plumbers can step in. Our drain cleaning services will save your plumbing by removing harmful debris and soap buildup from your drain pipes.
Signs You Need Drain Cleaning
Look out for a number of indicators that your drains need thorough flushing. If you experience any of the following problems, give our team a call for a professional drain cleaning:
- Your sink and shower drains empty slowly
- There is a blockage which doesn’t drain water at all
- Your drains make bubbling or gurgling noises
- The drains have an unpleasant odor
- Your toilet floods when you flush it
- The water level in your toilet bowl is inconsistent
- Sinks flood when you flush the toilet
All of these issues indicate that there is a blockage somewhere in your drain line. Don’t ignore them and worsen the problem. Alpha Plumbing can remove the clog and restore the function of your plumbing system.
Do I Need a Professional for Drain Cleaning Services?
In general, you can care for your drain plumbing on your own to prevent clogs from everyday build-up like hair, grease, and soap residue. We recommend sticking to all-natural solutions if you want to flush small blockages from your drain.
Pouring baking soda into your drain followed by vinegar is an easy way to clean drains using products already in your home. Never use chemical drain cleaners as they contain harsh ingredients that can damage your pipes.
DIY drain cleaning is possible for small clogs. However, if you experience consistent clogs or there is water backup in multiple drains, it’s best to bring in a professional. Give our friendly team a call and we will inspect the plumbing system.
How Plumbers Unclog Drains
Whether you have an issue with your sink, shower, toilet, or floor drains, there are several drain cleaning methods to remove clogs. Our plumbers commonly unclog drains with:
- Snaking
- Hydro jetting
Each method has its own advantages, but it’s essential to get a better idea of the clog before we decide on an approach for our drain cleaning services. For example, small clogs that affect only a single drain in your home often need snaking with an auger. This method consists of cranking a coil through your pipes to break away a blockage.
While snaking the drain is a reliable solution for small clogs, it’s not ideal when your sewer line has tree roots penetrating it. Once we inspect your plumbing and get an idea of the clog, we will let you know which approach is best for your situation.
What Does the Drain Cleaning Process Involve?
When you trust Alpha Plumbing for drain cleaning services, we follow a detailed checklist for every job. We begin by asking you about your current drain issues and what problems you are experiencing.
From there, we inspect the plumbing of your drain lines. For deep sewer lines, we place a waterproof camera through the pipe to get a visual of the clog and overall pipe condition. This inspection determines which cleaning method we use.
No matter the approach we choose, we will not leave until the clog is gone and your drains flow freely again.
