What’s Included In Columbia SC Clogged Drain Service?

A clogged bathtub drain or kitchen drain often arises because you haven’t been extra vigilant about what you should and shouldn't flush down your drain lines and not doing your due diligence for proper upkeep, for example, by performing routine maintenance and scheduling a professional cleaning service at least annually.

Clogs can be tricky to deal with. When one blockage is snuffed out, another can rear its ugly head because your home’s plumbing system is interconnected. And so, ignoring a clog will cause a ripple effect of further problems later on, evident by strange gurgling noises from your toilet or odd odors wafting from your plumbing fixtures. Fortunately, Mr. Rooter provides a wide range of services for diagnosing clogs, removing them, and stopping them from coming back.

Plumbing Inspection And Diagnosis

During our plumbing diagnosis and inspection service, we will take a deep dive into underlying issues that might be brewing in your drainage pipes. Initially, our expert plumbers will perform an all-inclusive visual check on all components of your plumbing system, including all fixtures and drain lines. Our plumbers will give you an official report which includes a list of recommended repairs and replacements before proceeding with any repairs you might need for your clogged drain.

Specialized Tools And Techniques

You’d be surprised to learn that a handy plunger is a cliche for what professional plumbers use the most to handle clogs. Although you can buy certain entry-level equipment like plungers, drain snakes, and more, most people do not possess the skill or know-how to use them effectively, and if they do attempt a homestyle DIY procedure, sometimes the result is so makeshift that they end up calling an expert anyways–only after of course scratching or denting their pipes.

For example, to perform a professional-level drain snaking you’d have to insert an auger, which is a long and flexible cable with a cone-shaped tip, and carefully navigate it within your drain pipes. Augers come either in a motorized version with a corkscrew end that can easily drill through bigger blockages or manual versions with a hand crank. Many don’t have the dexterity to twist, turn and bend the crevices of drainage pipes and end up scratching and scuffing them instead, and mostly you just end up breaking off bits and pieces of the clog rather than removing it.

By relying on our trained technicians, you can rest easy knowing they know how to directly penetrate the nasty blockage and pull it out. Although we have many tools in our arsenal, we also utilize other advanced industry techniques like video camera inspections, hydro jetting, and trenchless repairs to provide the best possible results for clearing and repairing clogged drains in Columbia SC.

HydroScrub® Jetting

Our HydroScrub® jetting has three key components including a large water tank, a robust hose, and a durable nozzle. This innovative technology pumps a high-pressure stream of water simultaneously in two directions, one at the front pulses straight through the clog, and one in the back scours away any accumulated residue. Hydro Jetting uses up to 3500 psi and pulses 68 liters of water per minute to effortlessly blast away not only any rigid clogs but also scrub any debris clinging to the inside of your pipe walls.

Best of all, this is a safe and sanitary procedure as the pulse of water will pump the clog through your home’s sewer line and out into the city’s sewage system, and rightfully so as you don’t want to deal with that icky mess. We recommend a good hydro jetting to scrub away all the muck inside your pipes, especially if you bought a pre-owned home as the previous owners may not have scoured their lines clean.

Biodegradable Drain Care

If you think hydro jetting is our only natural method that doesn’t use toxic chemicals, you’d be mistaken. Our BioChoiceES is our brand of professional drain cleaner and unlike the chemical drain cleaners sold at your supermarket or home hardware store it won’t give off poisonous fumes affecting your health. Plus these chemical-based drain cleaners are ineffective and eat away and corrode your pipes by weakening the material and adding to the muck inside. As a result, your drainage pipes will become readily exposed to cracks and leaks. As a natural-based solution, BioChoiceES has enzymes made of a live vegetative bacterial culture that breaks down clogs and other substances including oil, grease, soap scum, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions About Clogged Drains In Columbia SC

What Are The Telltale Signs I Have A Clogged Drain?

• Slow drains
• Standing water in the sink, bathtub, or shower
• Strange gurgling noises from the toilet
• Fluctuating toilet water levels
• Odd odors from plumbing fixtures
• Drain pests
• Backed up plumbing fixtures

What Are the Most Common Causes Of A Clog?

Typically many homeowners are not extra careful about what they should toss down their drains, for example, many people treat their kitchen’s garburator like a composter and scrape their dinner leftovers down the drain. Although sometimes a clog emerges not because of our bad habits and behaviors but because of something out of our control like invading tree roots.

What Will Dissolve Hair In My Drains?

For a quick fix use a baking soda and vinegar convocation and pour it down to loosen or even to remove the nasty hairball. Even if it doesn’t completely remove the clog it’ll make it easier for our plumber to conduct a professional cleaning later on. Plus baking soda acts as a disinfectant that fights off fungi and bacteria. Avoid using chemical cleaners, as they can cause damage to your pipes and may present a hazard to anyone attempting other drain cleaning methods.
