Clogged Drain Services in Mint Hill

Signs of a Mainline Clog 

Your plumbing system, with all those pipes and drains, might remind you of a tree. The branches of your plumbing system are the smaller pipes that lead to your sinks and tubs. The mainline is like the trunk, and everything else is connected to it. If you have slow drains in multiple areas, there’s a good chance that the problem is in the mainline instead of one of the branches.

Drain clogging that’s in more than one sink isn’t the only way to tell if you have a clog. There are a few other signs you can look out for, too, such as:

• Backed up drains: It’s a homeowner’s worst nightmare–you flush the toilet and instead of being carried far away, the contents bubble right back up into the tub, sink, or any other drain in the house. That means something is keeping things from flowing correctly through the mainline.
• Water gurgling through the pipes: if you have ever tipped a jug of water upside down, you might have gotten a good picture of what a clogged pipe is like. When the clog blocks everything except for a small opening, the water will bubble and gurgle as it tries to make its way through.
• Bad odors: Anything trapped in your pipes will collect bacteria, and that’ll lead to the odor that you smell. It’s healthier for your family to have sparkling clean pipes with no lingering bacteria.

• Slow-draining or backed up water. This is the clearest sign your drain needs to be cleared. If you have water backed up in more than one fixture, you probably have a clog in your main water line (not a secondary drain line).
• Frequent clogs. A clog every once in awhile is normal. But if you find yourself calling your plumber to unclog drains regularly, you can probably expect a larger, more expensive drain clearing in the near future.
  

Drain Cabling vs Hydro Jetting

You may be wondering what we use on backed up drains if toxic chemicals are off the table. Both of our drain clearing techniques are effective and gentle on your pipes. The first method is drain cabling. You may have heard the terms “auger”, “rooter”, or “snake” instead. There’s a reason drain cabling has been used for many years to get rid of clogs. To put it simply, they work! We can use drain cameras to see what we’re up against and then target the problem spot.

Our second method is hydro-jetting. Water is the main ingredient in this technique. With enough pressure, the water can have the power to blast away thick tree roots, clogs, bacteria, algae, and much more out of the way. If you want a good, deep cleaning for your slow drains, there’s no better way to get it done.
