Frequently Asked Questions

How Often Should Home Drains Be Professionally Cleaned?

For preventative maintenance in most households, having your major drains cleaned professionally every one to two years is generally sufficient to prevent severe blockages. However, drains that see high usage, such as kitchen sinks, may benefit from annual service due to the constant buildup of grease and soap scum. If your home has older pipes or frequently experiences slow drainage, it is strongly recommended that you have your pipes professionally cleaned more frequently. Ultimately, the best frequency depends on the age of your plumbing and the amount of use and waste disposal it handles.

How Long Does a Drain Cleaning Service Usually Take?

The duration of a professional drain cleaning service is generally quite short, depending on the severity and location of the clog. Most standard residential clogs, such as those in a kitchen sink or bathroom tub, can be cleared quickly, often taking less than one hour. A more stubborn or deeply set blockage, or one requiring specialized equipment like hydrojetting, may take between one and three hours. Your technician will provide an accurate estimate after a quick assessment of the issue.

Can I Use Chemicals to Clean My Drains Myself?

While store-bought chemical drain cleaners are readily available, they are generally not recommended as they contain harsh, corrosive chemicals. These chemicals often only burn a hole through the blockage instead of clearing it entirely, and can actually damage older pipes over time. If a chemical cleaner fails to work, the caustic solution is left sitting in the pipe, posing a hazard to the plumber who must then manually clear the clog. Professional cleaning is safer, more effective, and uses mechanical methods that will not harm your plumbing system.

How Can I Prevent Future Drain Clogs?

To prevent future clogs, be vigilant about what goes down your drains, particularly in the kitchen and bathroom sinks. Never pour cooking grease or oil down the kitchen drain, and always use screens or strainers in all sinks and tubs to catch hair and food particles. Remember that your toilet is not a trash can; only flush toilet paper and human waste, avoiding wipes, paper towels, and feminine hygiene products. Scheduling annual professional cleaning for high-risk drains can also proactively eliminate buildup before it becomes a problem.
