Frequently Asked Questions About Drain Services
Learn about common drain symptoms, possible causes, and what information to have ready when requesting service.
What causes a drain to become clogged?
Common causes include grease, food particles, hair, soap residue, foreign objects, and buildup inside the pipe. A recurring blockage or several affected fixtures may point to a deeper drain-line issue.
Why does my drain keep slowing down?
A recurring slow drain may mean residue remains in the pipe, the blockage is farther along the line, or there is another drainage issue. A proper inspection can help identify the cause.
What should I do about a completely blocked drain?
Stop using the affected fixture, avoid forcing more water into it, and do not mix drain-cleaning chemicals. If water is backing up into other fixtures, contact a drain professional promptly.
Can a camera inspection find a drain blockage?
A suitable drain camera can help inspect accessible pipe interiors and locate some obstructions or visible pipe defects. The technician can explain what the inspection does and does not show.
Should I use chemical drain cleaner?
Use caution. Some products can damage certain plumbing components, create hazardous splashes, or complicate later work. Never mix drain chemicals, and follow the product label.
