A drain cleaning service does more than simply remove any clogs that may exist in a plumbing line. While clog removal is an important part of repairing an issue with your plumbing, drain cleaning is as much maintenance as it is a repair. Keeping the walls of your drain lines clean is critical for preventing clogs, and even a slight amount of residue on the walls can be enough to start building into a total drain line clog.
We can help you with any drain in your home, including:
- Kitchen drains
- Bathroom drains
- Utility room drains
- Sewer drains
Whether your drains are running slow or already completely clogged up, don’t hesitate to call Sherlock Plumbing, Heating & Air. We respond quickly to calls because we know how important it is to get a quick resolution to these issues. You can rely on us to come to you, clear out your drains, and restore your life to normal quickly. What’s more, if you’re a member of our VIP Comfort Club, you’ll enjoy discounts on service and repairs, plus other benefits.
Signs You Need Drain Cleaning
Here’s a hard fact: The longer you wait to get your drains cleaned, the more extensive your problem will be. It’s best to recognize the signs and get professional help sooner rather than later, when the problem might become more expensive. If you see any of these common problems, you need to contact us for a professional drain cleaning immediately:
- Slow draining: If the water is draining out of your sinks, shower, bath, and/or washing machine more slowly than normal, that means that you have a buildup of hair, grease, or other substances in your pipes. These buildups will eventually turn into complete clogs if left alone.
- Standing water: Once a buildup in your pipes develops into a complete blockage, your wastewater won’t drain at all. If you see standing water in your sinks, shower, or bath, call Sherlock Plumbing, Heating & Air to remove the clog immediately.
- Unpleasant odors: Does your bathroom or kitchen have a mysterious smell that doesn’t go away no matter how much you clean it? If sewage or waste is building up in your pipes, it can fester and create unpleasant odors. A drain cleaning will remove the waste and fix this issue before it becomes a health hazard.
- Strange noises: When pipes are draining properly, they should barely make any noise at all. If you hear odd gurgling or bubbling sounds as water is draining, that most likely means that it is having to push its way around or through obstacles in the pipes.
- Frequent clogs: If you find yourself repeatedly unclogging your toilet or shower drain, this could be a sign that a much bigger problem is developing. It’s important to have a drain cleaning performed right away to avoid a major clog.
- Multiple clogged drains: If multiple drains are clogging in your house, this could indicate a main sewer clog. You need to contact the professionals at Sherlock Plumbing, Heating & Air to investigate this potentially major problem immediately.
Benefits of Professional Drain Cleaning
A professional drain cleaning is the best way to maintain your wastewater drainage and prevent major issues in your home’s plumbing system. If done regularly, it can prevent blockages, keep unhealthy bacteria from growing in your pipes, and maintain your system to prevent costly issues from arising. If done to address a drainage problem, a professional drain cleaning will clear your pipes, get rid of harmful bacteria and bad odors, and restore the effectiveness of your plumbing system. Bringing in a professional to clean your drains will also help you find out if there is a bigger problem with your plumbing that needs to be addressed.
Frequently Asked Questions About Drain Cleaning
In our extensive experience offering best-in-class plumbing services to satisfied customers, we’ve come across (and resolved) every plumbing issue under the sun. We’ve also heard every question about clogged drains, so we’ve put together the most common ones here:
What causes drain clogs?
The most common reason for drains to clog is simply a buildup of hair, dirt, soap, and/or food waste. Mineral deposits left behind by hard water can also build up in pipes to create a bottleneck where waste collects more easily. Tree roots seek moisture and can find their way into underground pipes to create significant plumbing issues.
What kind of drain cleaner is best?
Chemical drain cleaners are a tempting alternative to shelling out money for a professional plumber, but they can actually cost you more in the long run. At best, they don’t work well and are a waste of your money. At worst, the violent chemical reactions they rely on to remove minor clogs can damage your pipes, costing you hundreds of dollars in repairs and even causing full pipe collapse.
What is the black gunk coming out of my drain?
Since most of the buildup in your pipes is made up of biological material (hair, food, skin cells, soap, oils), it creates the perfect environment for bacteria. This causes a black film to form on the inside of your pipes. When your drain clogs, some of it can break off and come back up the pipe to ooze out of your drain.
