Drain Cleaning in Antioch, CA
Most Common Causes of Clogged Drains
The most common causes of clogged drains are surprisingly avoidable—tree roots invading pipes, and non-flushable items like paper towels and baby wipes. These materials can create serious blockages and costly repairs, so it’s best to stick to what your plumbing was designed to handle.
How We Fix the Problems
Roots can be cleared with a snake/cable temporarily, and the broken section of pipe repaired/replaced to prevent future root intrusion.
Paper towels and baby wipes can also be snaked/cabled; however, if the home has had multiple wipes flushed, sometimes a high-powered hydrojet is needed to remove all existing wipes from the drain system.
Professional Plumbing Helps Prevent Future Issues
Professional drain cleaning gives the homeowner a clearer idea of the cause of the clog allowing the steps needed to prevent future back ups to be taken.
For example: Hydrojetting a grease-clogged kitchen line to remove the grease from the line allowing water to flow normally, or repairing a broken sewer line to prevent roots from causing future blockages.
