How do I know if I need professional drain cleaning?If you notice slow draining sinks, frequent clogs, unpleasant odors, or gurgling sounds, it's time to call a professional. These are signs of buildup or a deeper blockage that DIY methods can’t fully resolve.

What’s the difference between a clogged drain and a sewer line blockage?A single clogged drain usually means a localized issue. If multiple fixtures are draining slowly or backing up, the problem is likely in the main sewer line, which requires specialized sewer line cleaning or inspection.

What methods do you use for drain cleaning?We use a variety of professional grade drain snakes and augers depending on the severity and location of the blockage. For deeper issues, we offer sewer camera inspections to identify the exact problem.
-
Is sewer camera inspection really necessary?Yes, sewer camera inspection is highly recommended, especially for recurring drain problems or suspected sewer damage. A camera inspection helps us locate cracks, tree roots, or collapsed pipes, allowing for precise and targeted repairs. This non-invasive method saves time and reduces the need for extensive digging.
