What’s the True Nature of Your Clog?
When your sink or toilet backs up, chances are it’s a situation that’s been building for some time. Occasionally an object dropped down the drain is the source of the trouble, but usually, it’s grease, hair, food, and other materials that have built up over time. Our drain cleaning service in Gaithersburg, MD uses modern techniques to identify the problem, including video inspection. We determine whether it’s close by in your P-trap, or further down in the pipes where clogs slowly gather over time. Using experience and the right tools for the job, we go in and break up the clog or extract the object, making sure our work has resolved the problem to avoid repeat calls for the same issue. Deep clogs can encourage other clogs to form by slowing drain flow, and they also produce some strange effects by causing backups in multiple drains upstream.
Bizarre Effects of Deep Clogs
What’s your first thought when you flush the toilet and your sink or shower drain jets wastewater? We understand, because it’s not a pretty problem. Fortunately, our expert plumbers provide skilled drain cleaning service that can address the deep clogs which typically cause complex backups. As a commercial and industrial drain cleaning service as well, we’re used to tough drain problems. If your home has challenging plumbing issues from years without deep cleaning, we can use a variety of tools from our arsenal to address them efficiently and safely. Backups in basement sinks, toilets, and floor drains can often be a result of sewer line clogs, and our methods and power cleaning techniques including hydro jetting can take care of removing them.
Corroded Pipes Mean Proceed with Care
Corroded pipes provide a better service for clogs to cling to, so you may experience more clogs as your plumbing gets older. We also pay attention to corrosion and decay of plastic pipes because tough cleaning techniques can damage your drain plumbing. With video inspection, our drain cleaning service can determine what level of care is required to provide the cleaning you need without risk. We’re also available to provide pipe replacement and repiping when the time comes to replace aging plumbing. If you’re tempted to use chemicals and other approaches before calling, in addition to safety concerns for you and our plumbers, there’s also the issue of leaks from your pipes spreading dangerous materials.
The Grease Challenges We’ve Seen
Grease is often at the heart of plumbing clogs, clinging to pipe interiors and gathering other materials. Restaurants typically have grease traps to help remove grease before it heads down the drain. Without those, our drain cleaning service would be in even more demand. As it is, the better our commercial drain cleaning service does its job, the more they can get on with their work of feeding customers without interruption. The same goes for your home, where our expert work helps you enjoy life at home without worrying about slow sink drains and toilets swirling and threatening to back up, often late at night for some reason. Public and business restrooms also present complex challenges, keeping us challenged to understand and address clogs that vary widely in nature.
Whole-House Care for Your Drains
Our whole-house drain cleaning service provides preventive care, clearing out P-traps plus bathroom and kitchen plumbing, but also addressing deeper problems all the way down to your sewer line. As we’ve noted, those deeper clogs are often the root cause of backups, either multiple or single, and slow flow from these partial blockages also encourages more material to gather. When needed, there are other drain system concerns that we can address that might surprise you. These can include plumbing installation issues that prevent proper drain flow, especially in horizontal pipe runs such as between bathrooms on a single floor. Without a proper slope to the pipe, the material can separate from the liquid and rest in the pipe. In addition, your entire drain system function is supported by an air intake, typically on the roof, called a plumbing vent. If you’re having trouble with slow drains and gurgling on the upper floors, or smell sewer gas that’s not being vented, it could be that the vent is blocked. Trust our experts for thorough care!
