When Do I Need Drain Cleaning?

You should always schedule drain cleaning whenever you encounter a clog or notice concerning issues with your drains. Even a small drain problem can escalate into a major plumbing emergency. Ignoring a slow drain or a foul odor can lead to bigger issues like burst pipes, extensive water damage, and costly repairs. Addressing potential blockages quickly helps you protect your property and avoid unexpected expenses. We can diagnose and fix your drain issues before they become a more serious problem.

Don’t wait to reach out to our team at MVP Home Services for drain cleaning if you notice any of the following signs of trouble:

• Water backing up. The most obvious sign of a severe clog is water backing up into your sinks, bathtubs, or toilets. This indicates a complete blockage where water has no place to go. You should call us right away to prevent potential flooding and water damage.
• Slow drains. Water that takes a long time to drain from sinks, tubs, or showers is a clear sign of a partial clog. Grease, soap scum, hair, and other debris can build up over time, narrowing the pipe and restricting water flow. We can clear these build-ups to restore your drains.
• Gurgling sounds. Unusual gurgling noises coming from your drains or toilet bowls after flushing often signal trapped air in the pipes due to a blockage. As water struggles to pass the obstruction, it creates air bubbles that make these distinctive sounds.
• Foul odors. A persistent, unpleasant smell from your drains can suggest that a build-up of food particles, bacteria, or sewage is stuck in your pipes. Our drain cleaning services can remove this debris, eliminating the source of the odor.
• Fruit flies. The continued presence of fruit flies near your drains can indicate a build-up of organic material in your pipes. These flies breed in the grime and sludge that accumulate in slow-moving or clogged drains.
• Multiple clogged fixtures. When more than one sink, tub, or toilet clogs at the same time, it typically points to a blockage deeper in your main sewer line. This is a serious issue that requires immediate attention from our professionals.

How Does Drain Cleaning Work?

When our plumbers arrive to clear a drain, we first diagnose the problem. We frequently use a video camera to inspect the pipes, which lets us pinpoint the exact location and cause of the blockage. This initial step helps us determine the most effective method for clearing the clog, whether it's a simple hairball near a drain opening or a more serious issue like tree roots in a sewer line.

Once we have a clear picture of the problem, we select the right tools for the job. For simple clogs, we might use a professional-grade drain snake. This long, flexible cable with an auger at the end goes deep into the pipe, breaking up blockages like hair and soap scum. We work the snake through the pipe until we feel the resistance from the clog, and then we operate the auger to break it apart and pull the debris out.
