Clogged pipes, clogged sings, backed up toilets, flooded drains

We know you have better things to do than call us because you have a clogged drain or a backed up drain. That is why we make sure you get a trained, qualified , professional plumber to fix your problem.

What our plumbers know about drains and drain cleaning and what you wont hear from other plumbing companies is that you can prevent your drains from being clogged in the first place.

The truth is that a properly installed and vented sewer line that is in healthy shape will not ever clog unless there is foreign debris in the drain. Foreign debris is defined as anything that does not belong in your drain or toilet such as q-tips, handi wipes, paper towels, feminine products, roots, etc.

When our plumbers are called to your house to clear your clogged drain, you can be assured that they have not only the appropriate equipment to clear your drain, but also the knowledge to provide you with a solution to prevent you from having to call us back again.

Drain Cleaning Services We Offer:

• Cable machines also know as Rooter machines are the most commonly used tool to clear a clog. Our trained plumbers use cable machines to clear most clogs. This machine is basically a rotating cable with a cutting head on the end of the cable that is mechanically fed into your drain pipe by our trained plumber until it ‘cuts’ through the clog in your pipe. Once our plumber has cut through the clog, effluent is allowed to drain through your pipe normally. For residential service, we provide a 30 day guarantee for that clog.
• Hydrojetting is a service that is used on clogged drains that reoccur more often, cannot be cleared by a cable machine, or are infiltrated by roots. Our state of the art jetting machine pumps water through your drains at up to 4000 PSI much like a pressure washer. By using our hydrojetter, our plumber can ensure that your sewer pipes are completely cleaned out and flushed. Often times, your sewer pipe will be restored to new condition after this service is performed. Compared to a cable machine, the hydrojetter performs a much more thorough job than a cable machine does.
• Pipe Video Inspection and Location is a method that our plumbers use to inspect the condition of your line. Typically performed after a cable machine or a hydrojetter is used, our plumbers insert a state of the art video camera down your sewer line to either ensure that your sewer line is actually cleaned, the roots are out of the pipe, or that the pipe is in good shape and up to code. Our pipe video inspection is also able to locate breaks in your sewer line, places where roots are intruding into your pipe, sags in the pipe where water is not draining properly and debris is deposited, or fittings that may be dislodged or corroded to the point here they are not allowing effluent to pass through your sewer pipe properly.
