Drain Cleaning

Drains are a crucial part of the plumbing system in your home or business, channeling the used wastewater to your sewer or septic connections. Unfortunately, nearly everything we put down our drains has the potential to cause a clog and impact our routines. Hair, soap, grease, food, dirt, and even the minerals in your water can build up over time to reduce your drain’s effectiveness, cause slow drains, and damage your pipes and property. 

Regular cleaning is essential to keep your drains flowing at their best. Here at Waldstein Plumbing, we use a variety of drain cleaning techniques to clear years of buildup from the interior of your pipes, fix slow drains, prevent expensive future repairs, and eliminate any odors coming from the drain. We have years of experience with all types of drains, including:

  • Shower & tub drains
  • Bathroom & kitchen sink drains
  • Toilet drains
  • Floor drains
  • Outdoor rain & storm drains

Signs Your Drains Need Cleaning

When you use your drains every day, it can be hard to notice when your drain starts to slow. There are multiple other signs your drains need maintenance, in addition to a sluggish drain:

  • Bad smells: If you notice unpleasant odors that start in your sink, bathtub, toilet, or other drain, it could be a clog collecting bacteria, food waste, and other smelly grime.
  • Odd sounds: Dripping, gurgles, bubbling, and other noises indicate either air trapped in your drains or an obstruction disrupting the flow of water.
  • Clogs in multiple drains: When several of your drains suddenly slow or get backed up, you may be dealing with a worse clog somewhere in your system.

At Waldstein Plumbing, we have the tools and experience needed to take care of your home or business, no matter if you need a routine cleaning to keep everything flowing right or a larger clog taken care of.

Drain Cleaning FAQs

Call our experts for a drain cleaning appointment whenever you experience slow drains, clogs, bad smells, or gurgling sounds coming from your drain.

DIY drain cleaning solutions like drain snakes or vinegar and baking soda are great for tackling minor clogs and routine maintenance, but for larger problems it’s best to call a professional. 

We don’t recommend using chemical drain cleaners due to their harsh ingredients. Most drain cleaners use corrosive chemicals that cause damage to your pipes over time, which can cause more problems in the future.

Plumbing professionals have the tools and experience to completely clean your drains without damaging your pipes, plumbing system, or fixtures while also preventing future clogs. We can also better assess your drain’s needs and adjust our methods.
