Frequently Asked Questions

When should I call a plumber vs. using a store-bought product?
Call a plumber if a plunger and basic drain cleaner fail, if multiple drains are slow, or if you notice sewage odors.
Is hydro-jetting worth the extra cost?
Hydro-jetting clears grease and root intrusions more thoroughly than snaking and is recommended for recurring clogs.
Can drain cleaning damage pipes?
Professional snaking is safe for most pipes. Chemical drain cleaners are harsher and can corrode older metal pipes over time.
How often should drains be cleaned?
Preventive cleaning every 1-2 years helps avoid major clogs, especially in kitchens with grease buildup.
