Drain Cleaning

Plumbing Services in Connecticut


Slow drains rarely fix themselves. Soap scum, hair, grease, and mineral buildup accumulate in layers until flow stops or backs up. We clear blockages mechanically and flush lines so your drain runs at full capacity again — not just temporarily improved.

What's Included

  • Diagnosis of drain type and blockage location before treatment
  • Mechanical snake or hand auger for standard clogs
  • High-flow flush to confirm clear passage after cleaning
  • Inspection of P-trap and drain assembly for secondary issues

Common Questions About Drain Cleaning

Why do my drains slow down again a few weeks after using store-bought drain cleaner?

Chemical drain openers dissolve organic material partially but leave residue and don't address buildup along pipe walls. They also degrade older pipe materials over time. Mechanical cleaning removes the clog physically and leaves the pipe clear rather than coated.

My kitchen drain backs up into the other sink basin. What does that mean?

Both basins typically share a single drain line that meets at a common trap or tee. A backup that affects both sides usually means the blockage is downstream from that junction — in the main drain arm rather than a single branch. We locate the obstruction and clear it at the right point.
