Why Call Plumbing and Drain Professionals?
That slow drain might seem like a minor annoyance, but it can quickly develop into a major plumbing problem. When materials build up in your pipes, they don’t just slow your drainage – they can lead to pipe damage, water backups, and expensive repairs. Here’s what you need to know about clogged drains.
Warning Signs of a Serious Drain Problem
Don’t wait until your drain is blocked completely. Watch for these early warning signs:
- Gurgling or bubbling sounds from drains, especially when using nearby fixtures
- Water backing up in unexpected places (like shower water rising in your toilet)
- Multiple slow drains throughout your home
- Unpleasant odors from drains
- Standing water in your yard
- Sewage smells in or around your home
Professional Drain Cleaning Methods
At Arnold & Sons, we use several proven methods to clear your drains, choosing the right approach for your specific situation.
Video Inspection
Before we start, we often use camera technology to see exactly what’s causing your clog. This helps us choose the most effective cleaning method and identify any underlying pipe damage.
Professional Snaking
For isolated clogs, our commercial-grade drain snakes can break through blockages without damaging your pipes. Unlike store-bought snakes, our equipment can reach deep into your plumbing system.
High-Pressure Water Jetting
When pipes are coated with years of buildup, our high-pressure water jets strip away grease, mineral deposits, and other accumulated materials, restoring your pipes to like-new condition.
Rooter Service
For serious blockages, including tree root intrusion, our powerful rooter equipment can clear even the toughest obstacles while protecting your pipe’s integrity.
What Not to Do When You Have a Clogged Drain
Avoid these common mistakes that can make drain problems worse:
- Don’t use chemical drain cleaners. They can damage pipes and create dangerous chemical reactions
- Avoid “miracle” drain cleaning products from the store. Many are ineffective and some can harm your plumbing
- Don’t ignore slow drains hoping they’ll clear themselves
- Never force mechanical snakes or tools when you meet resistance
- Avoid using excessive force with plungers, which can damage seals
Prevent Future Drain Problems
Keep your drains flowing freely with these expert tips:
In the Kitchen
- Never pour grease or oil down drains
- Use strainers to catch food particles
- Run cold water while using the garbage disposal
- Flush drains weekly with hot water
In the Bathroom
- Install hair catchers in shower/tub drains
- Don’t flush “flushable” wipes – they don’t break down properly
- Avoid disposing of dental floss, cotton swabs, or personal care products in toilets
- Run hot water after using sink drains
