What drain cleaning covers
Most blockages are a symptom. We clear the obstruction, then look at why it formed so you know whether it’s a one-off or a pattern.
Kitchen, bathroom and laundry drains
Toilet blockages
Shower and tub drains that pool
Main and branch line blockages
Floor and outdoor drains
Recurring clogs that need a closer look
Signs it’s time to call
Water drains slowly
Sinks, tubs or showers that take longer than they used to are often the first sign of buildup.
Gurgling sounds
Air pushed through a partly blocked line can make drains gurgle when another fixture runs.
More than one fixture backs up
When several drains misbehave together, the blockage is usually further down the line.
Smells that return
A persistent odor from a drain can point to residue, or a trap that isn’t holding water.

Questions about this service
Will drain cleaning damage my pipes?
The method depends on the line. We choose the least aggressive option that will clear it, and we’ll tell you if the pipe itself looks like the problem.
Can I use chemical drain cleaners first?
We’d avoid them. They can damage fittings and make a blockage harder and less safe to clear. If you’ve already used one, mention it in your request.
What if the clog keeps coming back?
A recurring clog usually means something further along the line. Tell us it’s recurring and we’ll scope the work to find the cause.
