Clogged Drain Clearing

What you’re dealing with

Water is standing in the sink, the tub is emptying slowly, or there is a smell coming back up the drain.

Most household blockages are grease, hair or soap scale building up over years. Clearing them mechanically deals with the cause; pouring chemicals down them does not.

What the work may involve

• Removing and cleaning the trap where the blockage is local
• Machine clearing the branch line back to the stack
• Clearing kitchen lines of accumulated grease rather than punching a hole through it
• Checking the vent, which is often the real cause of a slow drain
• Reassembling with new washers instead of the old flattened ones

Every job is different. This is what these jobs usually include, not a fixed scope — we will tell you what yours needs once we have seen it.
