Clogged Drain Services in St. Louis

Clogged Drain Solutions Near You

Dealing with clogged bathroom drains can be a major annoyance in our community. Most bathroom drain blockages, fortunately, are easily resolved using common tools such as a plunger or a metal coat hanger. However, if the obstruction is deep within the pipelines, you can rely on our specialized assistance to resolve the problem.

Preventing Bathroom Clogs

Our proactive approach to bathroom clog prevention is intended to keep your daily routine running as smoothly as possible. Here are some simple ways to keep your sinks, showers, and toilets clear:

  • Limit Toilet Flushing: It is critical to limit toilet flushing to toilet paper and human waste and to avoid flushing any other items, including tissues.
  • Install Hair Screens: We recommend installing hair screens to keep hair out of your shower and sink drains.
  • Address Slow Drains: Please contact us if you notice a slow-draining sink or shower. We can use boiling water to remove any potential impediments as soon as possible. 

Clogged Toilet

We recommend that you avoid using harsh chemicals to clear toilet clogs because these substances can damage the pipes and the entire sewage system. If a toilet clog occurs, our team is prepared to handle the situation. We have the necessary tools to deal with the situation, including effective plungers. There are several types of plungers available, but we will use the one that is best suited to your particular problem:

  • Cup Plungers: These are highly effective for clearing sink, tub, and floor drain blockages.
  • Flange Plungers: When faced with a toilet clog, we opt for a flange plunger to ensure optimal suction.
  • Accordion Plungers: Given their limitations, we avoid using accordion plungers as they are not as effective.

Clogged Tub and Shower Drains

A common cause of blockages is hair clogging tub and shower drains. The stopper mechanism attracts hair washed down the drain, causing it to slow down. We remove the screen cover and stopper with specialized tools and extract the accumulated hair. If the problem persists, dilute the soap residue with hot water and remove any remaining hair.

Clogged Bathroom Sink

Hair, beard trimmings, hair products, makeup, and soap scum are all common causes of clogged bathroom sinks. This is another area in which we excel. The stopper mechanism, or the P trap, which is a curved pipe beneath the drain, is the most common cause of sink blockages. We expertly remove the stopper and clear the obstruction with the appropriate tools. If the P trap needs to be cleaned, we carefully remove a section of pipe to thoroughly clean it.
