4 Signs You Need Professional Drain Cleaning
We recommend all homeowners pay close attention to the operation of their drains. It’s often possible to detect drainage problems simply by noting the signs. If you spot any of the following, it’s a good idea to schedule professional drain cleaning as soon as possible:
- Slow drainage: Slow drainage, whether from one or multiple drains, can indicate debris buildup, clogs, or even broken pipes. If the drainage continues to slow and the problem worsens, schedule without delay.
- Gurgling, bubbling sounds: Gurgling or bubbling occurs when air gets trapped in the pipe as water flows through.Â
- Frequent backups: Frequent backups into sinks, toilets, showers, or tubs can indicate blockages in the pipe.
- Noxious odors: Foul, sewage-like odors are caused by bacteria proliferation within the pipes, which is caused by incomplete drainage, allowing waste to remain and decompose in the pipe.
Drain Cleaning vs. Drain Clearing
Drain clearing is intended to remove an immediate blockage, such as a minor clog, using a snake. It’s a temporary solution to larger issues within your drains.Â
Drain cleaning is more thorough. It entails cleaning the entirety of the pipe, including the pipe walls, of all debris and buildup. To achieve this, hydro jets and other specialized equipment are used to remove the debris and protect pipes from future clogs.
Which service you need depends on the issues within your drainage system. Our plumbers will thoroughly assess the cause and help you determine whether drain clearing is sufficient or whether it’s time to perform a more in-depth drain cleaning to resolve any drainage issues.Â

FAQs
Why do plumbers say not to use Drano?
Drano and other over-the-counter cleaners are mildly effective at removing shallow clogs. However, they don’t work deep within your drains, and these products can cause corrosion and other damage to pipes, which is why we don’t recommend them.Â
Do baking soda and vinegar clean drains?
Yes and no. This holistic solution can remove shallow debris, including hair, sludge, slime, etc. However, it can’t remove sand, soil, tree roots, and deeper clogs.Â
Can I pour boiling water down the drain?
It’s never advisable to pour boiling water down the drain to remove grease, etc. Not only will the water cool to an ineffective temperature by the time it reaches grease deep within the drain, but it can also cause PVC and other types of pipe to suffer permanent damage that can lead to leaks.Â
