Is your home plagued by gurgling sounds from your drains, water backing up in sinks or tubs, or foul odors emitting from drains?

These are clear signs you’re dealing with a clogged drain that requires professional drain cleaning services. Working with professional plumbers to clear your drain makes your home more functional again!

What is Drain Cleaning?

Drain cleaning is the process of clearing clogs and removing built-up debris from pipes and drains. At A1 Sewer & Drain, our technicians utilize advanced equipment like drain snakes, high-pressure water jets, and hydro-jetting to break up blockages caused by hair, grease, soap scum, and more. 

Plumbers perform drain cleaning on sinks, tubs, showers, floor drains, main lines, and outdoor drainage pipes. The goal of any drain cleaning is to fully restore proper water flow and prevent backups.

Signs You Need Drain Cleaning

Do any of these issues plague your home’s plumbing? They indicate you need A1 Sewer & Drain’s drain cleaning services:

  • Slow-draining water
  • Gurgling noises
  • Foul sewer gas odors
  • Water pooling around drains
  • Backed up water in sinks or tubs
  • Flooding
  • Visible mold growth

Drain cleaning can also be performed as preventative maintenance to keep your pipes clear and prevent future clogs.

Is Drain Cleaning Necessary?

Yes! Allowing clogged drains to go unchecked can lead to extensive water damage, mold growth, burst pipes, sewage backups, and costly repairs. 

At A1 Sewer & Drain, we recommend scheduling annual drain cleanings to prevent major blockages. This, along with other plumbing maintenance, ensures that your pipes continue working properly for years. Don’t wait until you have a full-blown clog; it will only get worse. Clogged drains won’t clean themselves!

Different Types of Drain Cleaning Methods

We offer comprehensive drain cleaning services tailored to all types of drainage systems:

Hydro-Jetting

Using highly pressurized water, our hydro-jetting service can scour mineral deposits, grease, and debris from pipes up to 300 feet long. It’s safe for PVC, copper, cast iron, and clay pipes.

Snaking

Our high-powered drain snakes can penetrate deep into pipes up to 100 feet to break up stubborn clogs.

Augering

For outdoor drainage pipes, we utilize auger machines to drill through tree root blockages. Generally, augering is only needed for intense blockages.

What Are the Benefits of Drain Cleaning

Drain cleaning might seem like a small, simple job. How big of an impact could it really have besides making water flow more freely? Well, professional drain cleaning actually offers many benefits:

Prevent Damage

Clogged drains can cause pipe bursts, water leaks, flooding, and mold growth. Our cleaning services prevent extensive home damage.

Reduce Health Hazards

Backed-up sewage and dirty water can create unhealthy living conditions. Drain cleaning helps avoid exposure to harmful bacteria that would otherwise be released into your home.

Improve Hygiene

You’ll no longer have to contend with foul odors from sinks and tubs. No more feeling embarrassed when guests ask to use your bathroom or sink.

Save Money

It’s much less costly to have drains professionally cleaned regularly than repairing plumbing damage from clogs.
