Frequently Asked Questions
What should never go down the drain?
Avoid flushing grease/oil, coffee grounds, eggshells, "flushable" wipes, feminine products, medications, and hair. These are the most common causes of clogs.
How do I know if my sewer line is clogged?
Multiple slow drains, gurgling sounds, sewage odors, and water backing up in unusual places (like the tub when you flush) all indicate a main line problem.
Is it safe to use chemical drain cleaners?
We don't recommend them. They can corrode pipes, harm the environment, and often don't work on serious clogs. Mechanical cleaning is safer and more effective.
How often should I clean my drains?
Professionally, every 1-2 years for prevention. More often if you have older pipes, lots of trees, or a history of clogs. Run hot water after each use for daily maintenance.
What's the difference between a clog and a sewer line problem?
A clog typically affects one drain. Sewer line issues affect multiple drains and may include sewage backups. Camera inspection can determine which you have.
