Drain Cleaning In Blackfoot, ID

Prompt Solutions for Clogged Drains

When you have problems with your drains, you want the problem gone quickly. Sometimes, a drainage issue affects only one fixture in your home. But sometimes, you have trouble getting multiple drains in the home to get rid of wastewater, and you may even have a problem with backup.

When this is the case, it’s probably not something you could handle with a home plunger. Plus, those chemical drain cleaners are hardly effective, could damage the pipes, and are toxic in the wrong hands. You need professionals who have the tools to clean the drains and keep them clear, preventing clogs from coming back. In times like these, you need Advanced Home Services.

Signs of a Drain Clog to Watch Out For

• Slow drains. If you have one slow drain in your home, it’s typically an indication of a drainpipe clogged with hair, soap scum, or even food waste. In the best case scenarios, this can be relieved with nothing more than a plunger. Other times, you may need a professional plumber to use special tools to relieve the clog. However, if you notice slow drains throughout your home then this is a pretty big sign that you have a problem with the sewer line itself and need that line to be cleared out.

• Foul drain odors. A bad smell coming from any one of your drains can be as simple of a problem as a dried out p-trap, which just requires water to be poured down the drain to restore the barrier that prevents odors such as this from escaping up the sewer line. Let’s say you tried this, though, and the smell is persisting. Or, you’ve noticed this smell coming from your yard and it’s accompanied by wet spots. This is, unfortunately, most likely the cause of a sewer line backup.

• Water backing up in sink or tub when toilet flushes. When one plumbing fixture seems to negatively impact another, it’s most likely due to a clog that has nothing to do with either individual piece. Rather, it is the sign of a clogged sewer line that needs cleaning. If water flushed down a toilet can’t make it through the sewer line, then the water will re-emerge at the lowest point—the tub or shower.

Clearing the Main Drain Line with Hydro Jetting

When severe clogs affect your daily way of life, we recommend scheduling professional drain cleaning with hydro jetting. This service does more than just get rid of the clog; it also prevents clogs from coming back.

Hydro jetting is a process that involves the use of a long, thin hose that is fed through the main drain line: where all of the drains in your home meet up. The hose blasts out water at an extremely high pressure, but don’t worry; the water pressure will not damage the pipes. The speed of the water is what allows it to lift residue and debris from the pipe lining, keeping them completely clear and sending blockage back toward the sewer.

This can get rid of a wide range of issues. First, it gets rid of the fats, oils, and grease that cling to the lining of your pipes. These can allow additional debris to collect, so getting rid of these substances is key to avoiding drain clogs in the future.

It can get rid of large sources of blockage, although your contractor should first perform and inspection to make sure it’s the right tool to use. In some cases, a drain auger or drain snake is still the better choice. However, hydro jetting has been known to clear even the toughest of blockage, like tree roots, which may become a problem in the spring.
