Why Get Professional Drain Cleaning vs. DIY?
When your bathroom sink is draining slow, it may be tempting to DIY a drain cleaning. There are many ways a homeowner might clean their drains — or at least attempt to. But it’s not always a good idea for those clogs that keep coming back. Here are just a few of the reasons we strongly recommend professional drain cleaning over doing it yourself:
- Avoid damaging your plumbing: Whether you’re snaking your own pipes, plunging aggressively, or pouring chemical drain cleaner in, it’s possible to damage your pipes.
- Identify the correct root cause and resolve it: If you only solve the immediate problem, you’ll just be back in there doing it again within the month — if not sooner.
- Spot other problems: Drain problems can step from other issues, which can lead to bigger plumbing woes if unresolved.
- Peace of mind: Cleaning your own drains can be really gross, but you won’t have to worry about getting messy if you let a professional handle it.

- Drain snaking: The classic snake or augur is the golden standard for cleaning drains. Quick, easy on your pipes, and effective, we’ll have your clogs broken up and your drains scraped clean in no time.
- Video camera inspections: With a video camera on the end of a flexible line, we can see exactly what’s happening in your drains and come up with a long-lasting solution to your clogging, leaks, and other drain and sewer problems.
- Hydro jetting: Not every clog and accumulation can be scraped free or drilled through with a snake. For more advanced problems, we have hydro jetting. By spraying the inside of your pipes with high-pressure streams of water, we can scour your pipes clean, cutting through even the toughest blockages.

FAQs
Why should I avoid chemical drain cleaning products?
Chemical drain cleaning products generally won’t work once your drains are seriously clogged, even before considering their other drawbacks. Some drain cleaners can damage pipes, depending on their materials. You might also end up removing a bunch of accumulation from the walls of your pipe without clearing the clog, resulting in a much worse clog.
Is hydro jetting safe for old pipes?
Old pipes in good condition aren’t the issue. Hydro jetting is often safe even for old pipes, but we’ll always inspect your plumbing before we start because the high-pressure water jets can worsen issues from already damaged lines.
How can I prevent clogged drains in my bathroom?
To prevent clogged drains in your bathroom, it’s essential to avoid disposing of items known to cause blockages. Avoid flushing large amounts of toilet paper or feminine hygiene products. Install shower drain screens to catch hair and debris and clean them regularly. Also, consider having a plumbing professional perform a drain cleaning periodically to remove accumulated buildups and keep your drains flowing smoothly.
