Residential Drain Cleaning Manchester, NH

Not everything can be flushed down the drain. If you’re unsure whether or not to throw something in the sink, don't do it. A good rule of thumb is to discard it. For example, face pads and ear swabs should be thrown in the garbage, not flushed down the toilet. You should also avoid putting the following products down your drains:

• Condoms
• Kitty litter
• Fats, oils, and grease
• Feminine hygiene products
• Hair
• Coffee grounds
• Rice
• Pasta
• Paper towels
• Paint
• Medications
• Fruit pits
• Eggshells
• Produce stickers
• Household cleaning products

Our professional plumbers use specialized tools and techniques to clear drains effectively and safely. These techniques ensure thorough cleaning and reduce the risk of pipe damage, which can sometimes occur with DIY solutions or over-the-counter drain cleaners. Our professional drain cleaning methods include:

• Video Inspections: Our team has the training needed to clean your plumbing system efficiently. We start with a comprehensive inspection. Service professionals use cameras to identify blockages and assess pipe conditions.
• Augers and Snakes: Mechanical devices break apart clogs or retrieve items stuck in the drain. This method is only effective for clogs that aren’t deep in the drain line, as they're too far to reach.
• Hydro Jetting: If a drain snake doesn’t work, we utilize state-of-the-art HydroScrub® Jetting technology to clear clogs. This high-pressure water tool breaks up stubborn clogs without damaging your plumbing. This method involves using high-pressure water jets to remove grease, debris, and even tree roots from pipes.

Drain clearing will vary based on location and clog severity. The more complex the cleaning, the longer it will take and the more expensive it will be to complete. For example, removing a clog in a sink is much simpler than clearing a clog in a toilet or the main sewer line. Main sewer line clogs tend to be the most expensive to address. They might involve digging up your yard if tree roots are clogging your sewer line.

The only way to know for sure how much you’re going to pay for your drain-clearing service is to request an estimate. Our team offers honest pricing for our services. You’ll know your bill before we begin, thanks to our transparent and upfront pricing.

While baking soda and vinegar are often touted as a natural remedy for clearing drains, they are not as effective as they seem. The fizzing reaction between the two creates carbon dioxide gas, which may help loosen some debris but rarely removes significant blockages. In addition, the mixture does not address grease, oil, or mineral buildup in pipes. For long-term solutions, professional drain cleaning in Manchester, NH is far more effective and reliable.

No, you should never pour chemical cleaners down your drains. Most commercial store-bought drain cleaners contain harsh chemicals, such as lye or sulfuric acid, which can corrode pipes and weaken their structural integrity. Using chemical drain cleaners poses several risks, including:

• Pipe Damage: Pouring chemical drain cleaner down your drain pipes can cause severe damage. These chemicals can corrode PVC, metal, or older pipes, leading to leaks or even bursts. Over time, these products can corrode pipes, causing expensive repairs.
• Environmental Concerns: The chemicals in drain cleaners can harm the environment when washed into the sewer system. Instead of relying on harmful chemicals, consider professional sewer drain cleaning services to ensure safe and effective solutions.
• Health Risks: Chemical drain cleaners are made to dissolve food, hair, and other debris clogging your drain, but in turn, this means they can dissolve any human flesh, making it extremely hazardous to your skin and eyes. Fumes from the drain cleaner can also pose a major concern to your respiratory system.

With these factors in mind, you should not use harsh chemical cleaners to clear your drains. Instead, our experts have the tools and knowledge to clear blockages without endangering your plumbing system or your health. The next time you need drain cleaning, our plumber can come to you anywhere in Manchester or the surrounding areas.

The water levels in Manchester have the softest water levels in all of the New Hampshire area, meaning sediment buildup and calcium deposits aren’t a concern for your drainage system.

Rather than worrying about limescale and mineral buildup, focus on avoiding pouring fats, grease, and oil down your drains, as this is the primary culprit for clogged drains in Manchester, NH.
