Fixtures taking longer to drain than usual? Foul smells or gurgling noises around drains? Backups in multiple fixtures? These are all signs that your drains or sewer lines need cleaning.
The strange noises indicate trapped air, the smells are festering blockages, while slow drainage means there’s something inhibiting proper flow. These issues won’t resolve on their own, and will only worsen as the blockages attract more detritus and eventually stop wastewater flow entirely.
Our Residential Drain Cleaning Services
Whether you need sewer backup cleaning, main sewer line cleaning, or a basic drain cleaning service for kitchen and bathroom drains, Mr. Rooter® is always here to help. Our technicians begin every job with a thorough inspection to identify the cause and location of the issue before recommending a targeted approach.
If you’re worried about future plumbing issues, we can schedule preventative maintenance to keep everything shipshape.
Advanced Sewer Cleaning Methods
We offer sewer and drain cleaning throughout Norfolk, VA, and adapt our approach according to the specific drains, pipes, and type of blockage. For stubborn blockages, such as those caused by hair and soap scum, we can use mechanical augers to break up the offending clog and remove it from the drain. For blockages within the sewer line, we may recommend hydro jetting, which targets the clog with high-pressure water and blasts it away.
We conduct a video camera inspection to locate the issue and check again to verify proper removal.
Preventing Future Drain Problems
Booking regular drain maintenance from Mr. Rooter® is just one of the ways you can keep your drains in working order and prevent future issues. You should also refrain from disposing of grease in your sinks, install drain strainers, and call the professionals as soon as you notice any slow drainage, experience backups, or detect foul smells.
If your home is 50+ years old, we recommend regular inspections to keep an eye on the condition of your pipes and clear issues before they develop.
