Professional drain cleaning<\/strong> requires more knowledge than just how to operate a “snake.”\u00a0 That’s because there are different types of clogs, requiring different methods.\u00a0Tub and shower clogs in San Diego<\/strong>\u00a0are usually caused by hair together with soap scum. But a backed up kitchen sink<\/strong> is usually caused by a grease buildup<\/strong>. And laundry room clogs<\/strong> are most commonly due to lint from the washer.\u00a0 Finally, a toilet backup<\/strong> is usually caused by some foreign object that shouldn’t have been flushed in the first place, tree roots<\/strong>, or some other\u00a0any obstruction in the sewer line.<\/strong>\u00a0 For that a video camera inspection<\/strong> is usually the best first step.<\/p>\n

A fixture can be backed up or slow flowing because of a clog\u00a0anywhere from drain itself to connection at the street.\u00a0 Every sink, shower, tub, or washer in your home joins together at various places, and eventually to a single sewer line leading to the city system.\u00a0 So the more fixtures there are that are misbehaving the more likely it is that the problem is further down the system.\u00a0 But if that’s the case, don’t panic because sewer cleaning can usually take care of that without the expense and disruption of digging up your yard.<\/p>\n

Professional Drain Cleaning<\/h2>\n

There are many store-bought liquids to choose from, and most are based on strong bleaching agents.\u00a0 They can be effective for shower and tub problems,\u00a0not so much for the kitchen. Whether they or a\u00a0local plumber leave you with a slow-running sink the odds are that it will only get worse, usually pretty quickly.\u00a0 It takes quite a bit of expertise to thoroughly take care of such problems. And often specialized equipment such as our high-pressure hydro jetting gear.<\/p>\n

Commercial Drain Services<\/h3>\n

Grease build up is a big problem for\u00a0restaurants and any commercial facilities that handle food.\u00a0 For them it’s often a great idea to have have a commercial plumber perform scheduled drain cleaning before<\/em> things start slowing down.\u00a0 Those facilities are typically required to have a special grease trap to keep FOG (fats, oils, and grease) from making it to the city sewer where they can cause huge problems.\u00a0 And that in turn means regular pumps out for the collected grease along with periodic maintenance for the trap.<\/p>\n

Professional Sewer Cleaning and Repair<\/h3>\n

Few homeowners and small business owners are equipped to handle sewer line problems.\u00a0 And considering smell and sanitation issues very few want to!\u00a0 Professional sewer cleaning can often take care of the problem without digging up the yard and replacing pipe.\u00a0 A video camera inspection will determine the exact issue, and that could include tree roots, heavy grease and sludge build up, a foreign object, a damaged pipe, and so on.\u00a0 Regular cabling and auguring can remove the blockage in most cases.\u00a0 Hydro jetting, using high-pressure water and special nozzles, is another option that can even clear tree roots nearly all of the time.\u00a0 So you won’t be facing digging and hammering through concrete unless the sewer pipe is damaged in some way.\u00a0 Even then there are trenchless options for repair and replacement.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • TIP 1:<\/strong>\u00a0 Never use a drain opener based on lye or acid.\u00a0 They will<\/em> damage pipes!<\/li>\n
  • TIP 2:<\/strong>\u00a0 If you want to try do-it-yourself, try a plunger first.\u00a0 Next remove the U-tube under a sink to double-check that the problem isn’t there.\u00a0 If grocery-store products don’t do the trick, try an enzyme-based cleaner.<\/li>\n
  • TIP 3:<\/strong>\u00a0 If your sinks are slow running or you’re hearing gurgling from a toilet bowl, have it looked into.\u00a0 You may very well\u00a0avoid the disruption of a major sewage backup.<\/li>\n
  • TIP 4:<\/strong>\u00a0 Completely fill your sinks with hot water\u00a0about once a month.\u00a0 That helps you stay ahead of grease and sludge buildups.\u00a0 Enzyme cleaners can also be used as a preventive measure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
