Drain Cleaning

Kitchen drains clog over time. They run slower and slower as greases, soaps, fats and detergents build up on the inner walls of the pipes and eventually cause blockage.

An A-1 Plumbing Specialist use a sink machine to cut through the clog and remove all debris. Your kitchen drainpipes will be as good as new and our specialist will provide tips for you to keep them that way.

Shower and tub drains present their own challenges. The clog culprit is usually hair and soap buildup in the trap and drainpipe. When you're taking a shower you should never see standing water in the stall or tub. Properly functioning drains should carry the water away almost instantly. If water covers the shower floor and your feet, you have a clogged shower drain, which will eventually become completely blocked. An A-1 specialist skilled in shower repair techniques  cleanse the drain of any and all debris, restoring it to new condition.

Bathroom sink drains may become clogged with hair, toothpaste, soap and grime. A-1 provides many bathroom plumbing solutions and sink drains are one of the more common problems we solve. A-1 will remove the clog and thoroughly clean the entire pipe so your sinks will drain like new.

Toilet drains are sometimes overwhelmed with toilet paper and even the occasional kid's toy. A-1 can solve the problem with a machine that feeds a spinning cable into the toilet drain. The cable has special spring loaded blades on the tip that will cut through any obstruction while hugging the inside wall of the pipe and thoroughly cleaning it to restore full drainage and powerful flushes.

Floor drains are common in basements, laundry rooms and garages. They may also be found on patios and driveways as well as older bathrooms. These drains are equipped with a trap that should be kept filled with water to prevent odors and sewer gas from escaping. Test drains occasionally to make sure they are aren't clogged and are ready to carry away water and prevent flooding. Dirt and debris can clog floor drains but A-1 can open them quickly to restore good drainage.

Downspout drains help to channel water from roof gutters away from your home. Many downspouts are connected to the city's storm sewer system via underground pipes which can become clogged with leaves and debris and cause a backup. A-1 provides professional plumbing services that clean downspouts and their connecting pipes to prevent flooding and restore proper drainage around your home.

Main sewer lines are the largest drains in a home. All other household drains lead to the main sewer line. The main sewer runs underground from the house and connects to a city sewer line or a septic tank. Your main sewer line can become clogged from the debris those other household drains wash into it or by tree roots that penetrate pipe joints from surrounding soil.

If the main sewer line clogs, toilets and drains throughout your house will begin to backup. This is usually a very stressful situation for homeowners and it can happen at any time of the day or night. That's why A-1 has 24 hour emergency service.
When drains get clogged, A-1 Plumbers can provide fast, dependable, reliable service to get your drains flowing freely.
