Drain Cleaning
A clogged drain can start as a minor inconvenience and quickly become a bigger plumbing problem. Mastco Plumbing provides professional drain cleaning services to help clear stubborn clogs, improve drainage and get your plumbing flowing properly again.
Could You Have a Drain Problem?
Not every clogged drain is obvious at first. A slow drain, unusual odor or recurring backup could be an early sign that something is restricting the flow through your plumbing.
Slow-Draining Sinks
Water that takes longer than usual to drain can be an early sign of buildup or a developing clog.
Recurring Clogs
If the same drain keeps clogging even after you've cleared it, there may be a deeper issue affecting the line.
Water Backing Up
Water backing up into a sink, tub or shower can indicate a significant blockage that needs attention.
Gurgling Sounds
Gurgling or bubbling noises from your drains can indicate restricted airflow or a developing blockage.
Unpleasant Drain Odors
Persistent odors coming from a drain may be caused by buildup, trapped debris or other plumbing issues.
Multiple Slow Drains
When several drains throughout your home are slowing down at the same time, the problem may be farther down the plumbing system.
Think You May Have a Drain Problem?
If your drains aren't flowing like they should, don't wait for a small clog to become a bigger problem. Mastco Plumbing can help identify the cause and determine the right way to clear it.
How Do Plumbers Find a Drain Problem?
The location and cause of a clog aren't always obvious. Our plumbers evaluate the symptoms and use the appropriate tools and diagnostic methods to determine what's restricting the flow and how best to clear it.
Evaluate the Drain
We start by looking at the affected fixture and learning more about when the problem started and what you've been experiencing.
Locate the Blockage
Depending on the situation, we may use professional drain cleaning equipment or diagnostic methods to help determine where the obstruction is located.
Determine the Right Solution
Once we understand what's causing the problem, we'll explain what we found and recommend the appropriate drain cleaning solution.
What Causes Drain Clogs?
Drain clogs can develop for many different reasons. Everyday buildup can gradually restrict the flow, while larger blockages can happen when materials that shouldn't go down the drain enter the plumbing system.
Hair & Soap Buildup
Hair, soap residue and other debris can collect inside bathroom drains and gradually restrict water flow.
Grease & Food Debris
Grease, fats and food particles can stick to the inside of kitchen drain pipes and contribute to stubborn clogs.
Foreign Objects
Items that accidentally enter a drain can become lodged in the plumbing and prevent water from flowing properly.
Buildup Inside the Pipe
Mineral deposits, sludge and other material can accumulate over time, reducing the available space for water to flow through.
Some clogs are simple to clear, while others can point to a larger plumbing issue. If a drain keeps backing up after being cleared, it's worth having the problem evaluated rather than repeatedly treating the symptom.
What Happens If a Drain Clog Is Left Unrepaired?
A clogged drain can become more difficult to deal with if it's left alone. What starts as a slow drain can eventually lead to backups, standing water or problems affecting other fixtures in your home.
Recurring Backups
A partially blocked drain can continue to collect buildup and eventually cause water to back up into your sink, tub or shower.
Water Damage
Overflowing fixtures or standing water can damage surrounding flooring, cabinets and other areas of your home.
Unpleasant Odors
Trapped food, hair, grease and other debris can create persistent odors coming from your drains.
Larger Plumbing Problems
A recurring clog can sometimes indicate an issue farther down the line that needs more than a basic clearing.
If you've cleared the same drain more than once and the problem keeps coming back, there's likely a reason. Mastco Plumbing can help determine what's causing the recurring blockage and recommend the right solution.
