Common Drain Problems We Resolve

Drain issues can range from minor inconveniences to major disruptions in your daily routine. At Stouder Plumbing, we address a wide variety of drain problems, including:

  • Clogged Drains: Hair, grease, soap scum, and other debris can accumulate over time, leading to slow or completely blocked drains.
  • Tree Root Intrusions: Roots from nearby trees can penetrate sewer lines, causing significant blockages and damage.
  • Corroded Pipes: Over time, pipes can corrode, leading to restricted water flow and potential leaks.
  • Foreign Objects: Items such as toys, sanitary products, and food particles can inadvertently enter the drain, causing clogs.
  • Grease Buildup: In kitchen drains, grease and food particles can create stubborn blockages that are difficult to remove without professional help.

Our Comprehensive Drain Cleaning Process

At Stouder Plumbing, we follow a meticulous process to ensure your drains are thoroughly cleaned and functioning optimally. Our drain cleaning process includes:

  1. Initial Inspection: We start with a thorough inspection of your drainage system using advanced camera technology to identify the exact cause and location of the blockage.
  2. Assessment and Diagnosis: Based on the inspection, our technicians assess the severity of the problem and determine the most effective cleaning method.
  3. Drain Cleaning: We utilize a variety of techniques such as hydro jetting, drain snaking, and chemical treatments to clear the blockage and clean the pipes.
  4. Post-Cleaning Inspection: After the cleaning process, we conduct a follow-up inspection to ensure the drains are clear and functioning correctly.
  5. Preventive Maintenance Advice: To help you avoid future drain problems, we provide valuable tips and recommendations for maintaining a healthy drainage system.

Techniques and Tools We Use

Our commitment to utilizing the latest technology and techniques ensures that we provide the most effective and efficient drain cleaning services. Some of the tools and methods we employ include:

  • Hydro Jetting: This technique involves using high-pressure water to blast away stubborn clogs and buildup inside the pipes, restoring optimal flow.
  • Drain Snaking: A flexible auger is inserted into the drain to break up and remove blockages caused by hair, soap scum, and other debris.
  • Camera Inspections: Small, waterproof cameras are used to inspect the interior of the pipes, allowing us to pinpoint the exact location and nature of the blockage.
  • Chemical Treatments: In cases where organic buildup is the primary issue, safe and effective chemical treatments are used to dissolve the material and clear the drain.
  • Rooter Services: For tree root intrusions, specialized equipment is used to cut through the roots and remove them from the sewer lines.

Preventing Future Drain Issues

Prevention is always better than cure. To help you avoid frequent drain problems, Stouder Plumbing offers practical advice and preventive maintenance services, including:

  • Regular Inspections: Schedule periodic inspections to catch potential issues early and prevent major blockages.
  • Proper Disposal Practices: Avoid pouring grease, oil, and food scraps down the drain. Dispose of them properly to prevent buildup.
  • Use of Drain Screens: Install screens over drains to catch hair, food particles, and other debris before they enter the pipes.
  • Routine Maintenance: Regularly clean your drains with safe, non-corrosive cleaning agents to keep them clear and odor-free.
