Our Comprehensive Approach to Clearing Clogs

When you contact our team in the Greater Richmond area for a drain issue, we don’t just offer a quick fix. We take a systematic approach to ensure the problem is solved completely and effectively. Our process begins with a thorough assessment to pinpoint the exact location and cause of the blockage. This allows us to select the most appropriate method for a lasting solution. We believe in providing transparent service, keeping you informed at every stage, from initial diagnosis to the final cleanup.

High-Powered Hydro Jetting

For stubborn blockages in your main sewer line, we often turn to hydro jetting. This powerful technique uses a highly pressurized stream of water to blast away years of accumulated sludge, grease, hair, and other debris that traditional methods might miss. Hydro jetting is highly effective at clearing out even the most challenging clogs, and it cleans the entire diameter of the pipe, leaving it in a like-new condition. Our technicians are trained to adjust the water pressure to match the pipe's material and age, ensuring a safe and non-damaging cleaning process.

Precision Rooter and Snaking Services

In some cases, a simpler drain snake (also known as a rooter) is all that’s needed. This is often the first step we take for smaller clogs located closer to the drain opening. Our professional-grade snakes can effectively break apart and remove blockages from sinks, showers, and toilets. For more complex situations, especially when tree roots are involved, we use specialized cutting tools attached to the snake to cleanly slice through the intrusive roots without damaging the pipes.

Advanced Video Camera Inspections

If the source of the blockage isn't immediately clear, or if we suspect damage to your pipes, we can perform a video camera inspection. This non-invasive method involves sending a small, flexible camera into your pipes to get a real-time, high-definition view of the interior. This technology allows us to precisely locate the clog and identify any underlying issues, such as cracks, misaligned joints, or root intrusion, all without the need for extensive excavation. Seeing the problem firsthand helps us provide a more accurate and efficient solution.

Common Questions About Our Drain Services

What are the most frequent causes of drain clogs?

Many clogs are a result of a gradual buildup of common household items. In kitchens, it's often fats, oils, and grease. In bathrooms, hair and soap scum are the main culprits. Flushing things like "flushable" wipes, paper towels, or feminine hygiene products can also cause significant blockages.

Is hydro jetting a safe option for older pipes?

Yes, when performed by a professional. Our technicians carefully assess the condition of your pipes before determining the appropriate water pressure to use. This ensures a thorough cleaning without causing damage to the pipe's integrity.
