When should I call a professional for drain issues?
If a clog keeps returning, drains are backing up, or water is draining very slowly, it’s best to call a professional to diagnose and clear the issue safely.
How long does drain cleaning take?
Most drain cleaning appointments are completed within one visit, though timing can vary depending on the severity and location of the blockage.
What is the difference between snaking and full drain cleaning?
Snaking may open a path through a clog, while full drain cleaning removes buildup from the pipe walls to help restore proper flow and reduce repeat issues.
What are signs of a serious drain problem?
Frequent clogs, multiple drains backing up, gurgling sounds, standing water, or persistent odors can indicate a deeper blockage that should be addressed promptly.
What causes drains to clog?
Most clogs are caused by grease, soap residue, hair, food particles, or debris building up inside the pipe over time. In some cases, tree roots or pipe misalignment can also restrict flow.
