Drain Cleaning West Chester, PA

All your home’s drains basically perform the same function, but each one is a bit different. Each drain is prone to specific types of clogs and issues that will arise over time if you don't prioritize drain cleaning. West Chester, PA residents have several types of drains in their homes, including kitchen drains, bathroom drains, and, of course, floor drains. Because of that, we ensure that we can effectively clear a wide range of drain types, including:

• Kitchen Drains: Kitchen sinks often become clogged from oil, grease, and food particles that come from washing your dishes. Do your best to avoid putting any oil or grease down the drain, as these substances can solidify inside pipes. For these reasons, it's important to stay up-to-date on frequent drain cleaning. West Chester, PA homeowners should always avoid putting bones, meat, or fibrous vegetables down the drain and into the garbage disposal. By improving your household habits, you will improve the efficiency of your drains.
• Bathroom Drains: You can benefit from installing drain covers in your bathroom sinks and bathtubs. Bathroom drains can clog over time due to soap, hair, and toothpaste. As a helpful tip, when brushing your teeth, run hot water to prevent your toothpaste from hardening inside the pipes.
• Floor Drains: Your home’s floor drains are located in garages, basements, and laundry rooms. These drains are sometimes overlooked but can become clogged by dirt, dust, leaves, and other types of debris. Regular maintenance is essential to ensure they can continue to function and prevent flooding and water damage in your home.

While we recommend leaving most plumbing jobs to our trained professionals, there are a few steps you can take to address minor clogs or determine whether it’s time to call us. You’ll start by determining if your sink is draining, partially draining, or not draining at all. Follow these steps:

• If the water is still partially draining, let it drain while you prepare a kettle or pot of hot water. Using boiled water can help clear clogged drains caused by hardened fats or oils. Once most or all of the water has drained from the sink, carefully pour hot water into that drain.
• Use a plunger and a plumbing snake. Sink plungers are easy to operate and can help relocate a clog to the top of the drain. After that, use your drain snake to pull the obstruction from your pipe. Be sure to throw away the material and avoid flushing it down the pipe.

If the above steps didn't resolve your drain problems, it's time to call in our team for professional drain cleaning.
