Frequently Asked Questions

1. What causes drains to clog?

Drains often clog due to the buildup of grease, soap scum, hair, food particles, and other debris. Over time, these materials accumulate and restrict water flow, eventually leading to a full blockage.

2. How do I know if I need professional drain cleaning?

If you notice slow draining, gurgling noises, foul odors, or recurring clogs, it’s time to call a professional. These are signs that a deeper blockage or buildup is affecting your pipes.

3. How often should I have my drains cleaned?

For most homes, professional drain cleaning once a year helps prevent buildup and future blockages. However, high-usage or older plumbing systems may require more frequent maintenance.

4. Can I use chemical drain cleaners instead?

While chemical drain cleaners can provide a quick fix, they often damage pipes and only clear part of the blockage. Professional cleaning is safer, more thorough, and prevents long-term issues.
