Indianapolis Drain Cleaning Services

It may be easier to ignore that slow-moving drain and carry on with the minor inconvenience, but a clogged drain can have serious consequences. You could have a clog or grease buildup in your pipes slowing it down, or many other common problems could be to blame. Slow drains can also be a sign of more serious problems like a collapsed sewer pipe, which needs to be dealt with right away by a professional plumber.

Our drain cleaning professionals clear clogged drains of plumbing appliances such as:

• Main Sewer Line
• Kitchen Sink Drain and P Trap
• Bathtub and Shower Drain
• Bathroom Sink Drain
• Washing Machine
• Dishwasher
• Toilet
• Floor Drain

Drain clearing gets your drain moving again, but not all drain problems are solved this way. If there is any sign that the reason for the clog is in the main sewer line, we do a video inspection to locate and identify the problem.

Drain cleaning can be a simple or complex process, depending on the clogged drain, its location, and other damage the clog may have caused. Drain cleaning starts with an inspection to assess clogged drains so we know the extent of the problem before work begins.

The tools we use for clearing a drain depends on the type of clog, its location in the plumbing system, and the severity of the clog. Drain cleaning services may involve the use of a drain snake (also known as an auger), rooter, or hydro jetting.

The process used for clearing a completely clogged drain depends on which drain is affected. If there’s only one clogged drain, we know the clog is in that fixture’s dedicated drain line. A plumber may utilize a drain snake, which is inserted down the drain and rotated to bust up the clog so it can either be pulled out or safely flushed through the home’s pipes. When the clogged drain is a sewer pipe clog, rooter service may be used to bust through tree roots and clog materials. When drains are not entirely clogged but drainage is slow, the issue can be caused by buildup within the pipes – for this, hydro jetting may be used to remove materials that have stuck to the inside of pipe walls.

The cost of drain cleaning services varies based on how many clogged drains must be treated, where the clog is located within plumbing pipes, and other needed repairs to fully correct your drain issue. A single clog in a bathroom sink drain p trap, for example, is typically a much more quick and easy process than addressing a clog deep within the home’s main sewer pipe.

Williams Comfort Air’s plumbing technicians provide you with a complete estimate for the cost of drain cleaning services before we begin drain cleaning services. Our upfront pricing means there are no surprises that come along with your drain cleaning.

Finding fast, effective solutions starts with recognizing the signs that something has gone wrong with your drain. Here are some tell-tale signs that your drain or drains are clogged or having other problems that a drain cleaning can solve:

• Gurgling sounds. If you hear a bubbling or “percolating” noise coming from drains when they are in use or at rest, there may be a clog in your drain line. This can occur in an appliance that is currently in use or at other plumbing equipment when large water-using appliances are working. For example, your toilet may gurgle when the dishwasher is running.
  
  
• Water backing up. When flushing your toilet, does water back up in your sink drain, showers, or other plumbing appliances that have a drain? If so, the clog may be caused by a problem with your main sewer line.
  
  
• Standing water. Pools of unpleasant water may begin to spring up in your yard or possibly a basement or similar area with a floor drain. These can be found on sight when in an open area, or if you note a large influx of insects and pests in an area that has an obstructed view.
  
  
• Foul odors. The smell of a sewer line leak is unmistakable. Often when a clog has gotten particularly large, you begin to note this unpleasant smell permeating areas of the home.

Williams Comfort Air utilizes a high-tech video drain camera that shows us what’s going on in your main sewer pipes and drain lines. This camera makes it easier to find the source of the clog or drain problem you experience. We are able to locate the problem area and identify the best process to fix it. It may be a repair or a more in-depth process of pipe replacement.

For a single clogged drain, many homeowners attempt to unclog a drain before calling a plumber. If you do this, make sure to use safe methods to prevent any damage to your plumbing pipes and fixtures.

• Do not use drain cleaning chemicals, such as store-bought products. These solutions can degrade the pipes and cause them to fail.
  
• For a kitchen sink drain, bathroom sink drain, shower drain, or tub drain, use natural products instead. Pour one cup baking soda into the drain, followed by one cup white vinegar. Cover the drain and allow the mixture to sit at least 30 minutes before flushing it through with hot water.
  
• For a toilet clog, boil a pot of hot water and pour it into the toilet bowl from waist height. Wait for the water to cool, then flush. Heat can break up clog matter down in the drain.

Preventing clogged drains is so important. The effects of a clog, such as water backing up or slow drainage, manifest themselves in an individual fixture or multiple fixtures at the same time. When multiple drains are affected, it typically indicates you have a clog in your main drain line. Here are some steps that help prevent clogs from occurring.

• Clean drain stoppers and use hair-straining drain traps.
• Don’t flush materials that do not dissolve or break apart in water, such as feminine products or baby wipes.
• Don’t dispose of grease or oil down your drains.
• Be sure the plumbing vent pipe on your roof remains free of obstructions.
