Types of Clogs We Fix 

Clogged drains can occur anywhere in your home, each type requiring specific attention to restore proper functionality. At Great Plumbing Service, we have the expertise and tools to address all types of drain clogs efficiently. Here are the most common clogs we fix and how we can help:

• Kitchen Drain Clogs: 

Grease, food particles, and soap residue are the leading culprits behind clogged kitchen drains. Over time, these substances accumulate and restrict water flow, making it difficult for your sink to drain. Our plumbers use professional-grade tools to remove buildup and ensure your kitchen sink works like new. 

• Lavatory Sink Clogs:

Bathroom sinks often become clogged due to hair, toothpaste, and soap scum. These materials create a sticky residue that slows drainage or causes complete blockages. Our team clears your lavatory drain quickly, leaving it clean and fully functional. 

• Shower and Tub Clogs:

 Hair, soap, and oils from bath products can block your shower or tub drain, leading to standing water and slow drainage. We carefully remove these obstructions without damaging your plumbing, restoring your drain’s performance. 

• Toilet Clogs:

 Flushing non-flushable items or using excessive toilet paper can result in a blocked toilet. Our plumbers use specialized equipment to safely clear the clog, ensuring your toilet operates smoothly. 

Main Sewer Line Backups:

Tree roots, grease, and heavy debris can block your main sewer line, causing widespread drainage issues in your home. We utilize advanced technology like video inspections and hydro jetting to diagnose and resolve the problem efficiently. For any of these clogs, trust the licensed and insured plumbers at Great Plumbing Service to deliver reliable, long-lasting solutions. Reach out to us today for expert assistance! 

Signs You Need Professional Drain Cleaning Services 

Clogged drains can often start small, but when left unaddressed, they can lead to significant plumbing issues. Knowing the early signs of a clogged drain can save you time, money, and frustration. Here are some key indicators that it’s time to call a professional plumber: 

• Slow Drainage:

If water takes longer than usual to drain from your sinks, showers, or tubs, it’s a sign of buildup in your pipes. This could be caused by grease, soap scum, or other debris, which needs professional attention to remove. 

• Frequent Clogs:

Repeated clogs in the same drain suggest an underlying issue deeper in your plumbing system. Our expert plumbers can identify and address the root cause to prevent future blockages.

• Unpleasant Odors:

Foul smells coming from your drains are often caused by decaying organic matter or grease trapped in your pipes. Professional drain cleaning removes these obstructions, restoring freshness to your plumbing. 

• Water Backups:

Water coming back up from your drains indicates a severe blockage or a problem with your sewer line. Immediate professional intervention is essential to prevent damage to your home. 

• Gurgling Sounds:

Strange noises like gurgling or bubbling when water flows through your drains often indicate trapped air caused by a clog. Addressing this early can prevent further issues. 

• Multiple Clogged Drains:

If more than one drain in your home is slow or blocked, it may point to a problem in your main sewer line. Our plumbers use advanced diagnostic tools to locate and clear the issue efficiently. If you notice any of these signs, contact Great Plumbing Service for expert drain cleaning services. We’re here to restore your plumbing system’s efficiency and reliability. 

Prevent Clogged Drains with Routine Maintenance 

Keeping your drains clear and functional requires consistent care and attention. With simple maintenance steps, you can avoid most clogs and keep your plumbing in top shape. Here are five ways to prevent clogged drains: 

• Dispose of Grease Properly

Never pour grease or cooking oil down your kitchen sink. Instead, let it cool and dispose of it in the trash. Grease solidifies in your pipes, leading to stubborn clogs over time. 

• Use Drain Strainers 

Place strainers over your kitchen and bathroom drains to catch food particles, hair, and debris. Cleaning these strainers regularly will help you keep your drains clear.

• Avoid Flushing Non-Flushable Items

Only flush toilet paper and human waste. Items like wipes, paper towels, and hygiene products can cause blockages in your toilet and sewer lines.

• Run Hot Water Regularly

Pouring hot water down your drains periodically can help dissolve grease and soap residue, preventing buildup. This is especially useful for kitchen sinks. 

• Schedule Regular Professional Cleaning

Even with careful use, your drains can accumulate debris over time. Scheduling routine professional drain cleaning ensures your plumbing system stays clear and problem-free. By following these steps, you can minimize the risk of clogs and keep your drains functioning smoothly.
