Trident Plumbing provides professional drain cleaning throughout Oconee, Anderson and Pickens Counties. Whether you have a slow drain, recurring clog or a drain that has stopped flowing completely, we diagnose the problem and determine the appropriate method to restore proper drainage.
Professional Drain Cleaning
A clogged drain can be caused by grease, soap buildup, hair, debris, roots or problems farther down the drainage system. Clearing the immediate blockage may restore flow, but recurring clogs can indicate an underlying problem that needs further diagnosis.
Signs You Need Drain Cleaning
- Drain is slow or completely stopped
- Water backs up into a sink, tub or shower
- Toilet gurgles when another fixture drains
- Multiple fixtures are draining slowly
- Drain repeatedly clogs after being cleared
- Unpleasant odors coming from drains
- Water backs up through a floor drain
Recurring Drain Clogs
A drain that repeatedly clogs may have a problem beyond the immediate blockage. Heavy buildup, roots, damaged piping, improper slope or a restriction farther down the system can cause the same symptoms to return after the drain has been cleared.
Drain Cleaning vs. Sewer Line Problems
When several fixtures are slow or backing up at the same time, the problem may be in the building drain or sewer line rather than an individual fixture drain. In those situations, additional diagnosis such as a sewer camera inspection may be appropriate before repeatedly clearing the same line.
Hydro Jetting for Heavy Buildup
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to clean grease, buildup, debris and other material from the inside of drain and sewer piping. When the condition of the pipe is suitable for jetting, it can provide a more thorough cleaning than conventional drain snaking alone.
When a Drain Camera Inspection Makes Sense
If a drain continues to clog after cleaning, a camera inspection can help identify roots, damaged piping, heavy buildup or another condition causing the recurring problem. Finding the cause can prevent repeated service calls that only temporarily restore flow.
Why Clearing a Drain Doesn’t Always Solve the Problem
Clearing a blockage restores flow, but it does not necessarily correct the condition that caused the blockage. Grease and buildup may remain on the pipe walls, roots may continue growing into the line, or damaged piping may repeatedly catch debris and create another obstruction.
When a drain repeatedly stops up, Trident Plumbing can look beyond the immediate clog and determine whether additional cleaning, hydro jetting, camera inspection or pipe repair is appropriate. The goal is to correct the cause when possible rather than repeatedly charging you to clear the same problem.
