Signs You Need Drain Cleaning in Chesterfield
Whether it’s a slow drain or a main line problem these are the telltale signs you need drain cleaning services:
- One or more fixtures are slow to drain
- Gurgling noises when you run an appliance
- The basement floor drain is backing up
- Your toilet bubbles when the washer is running
When one or more of these happen it’s important to stop running water in the house including your dishwasher and washing machine. If it’s a plumbing emergency we answer the phone 24 hours a day including weekends and holidays.
Drains We Clear
Slow and backed up drains can quickly go from inconvenient to a serious health hazard. We work with all of the following:
- Kitchen sinks and garbage disposals
- Bathroom sinks, tubs and showers
- Toilets
- Floor drains in basement and laundry rooms
- Laundry and utility sinks
- Outdoor and area drains
- Main sewer lines
Sometimes it isn’t obvious which drain is causing the problem. We’ll run a camera inspection and target the source so there’s no second calls after the fact.
What Causes Clogged Drains
Even if you do everything right things will build up and you’ll eventually need proper drain cleaning services.
- Kitchens experience backup from grease that cools and hardens as well as coffee grounds and food scraps.
- Bathrooms get clogged by hair and soap scum binding together
- Toilets from “flushable” wipes and hygiene products
- Laundry lint and residue builds up in the drain lines
The cause varies from location to location and is prone to happen even if you never flush a paper towel and throw all your food scraps away. When it’s a main line you’re also dealing with outdated pipes corroding and root intrusion.
Can I Use An At-Home Drain Cleaner?
Caustic and acidic cleaners tend to be hard on older pipes and PVC joints leading to more serious damage down the line. They also are inadequate at clearing a blockage and usually just sit on top. Chemicals still sitting there when the plumber opens it are a major hazard as well. When you use these repeatedly they mask a structural problem and oftentimes make it even worse. If it comes back within a few weeks, the clog is a symptom of a larger problem you’ll need a licensed plumber to address.
