We Repair Residential Clogged Drains in Port St Lucie, FL

Signs You Need Clogged Drain Services

Don’t ignore signs of a clogged drain. The longer a clogged drain sits without being cleared, the more likely it is to cause corrosion, damage, and broken pipes. If you notice any of these signs of a stubborn clogged sink drain, clogged garbage disposal, or other clogged drain in your home, give us a call:

• There is standing water around your drains, or the drains are very slow to empty.
• The drains make a gurgling noise when water goes down.
• Using one plumbing fixture makes another one misbehave. For instance, water bubbles up in the sink when you flush the toilet.
• You smell bad odors from the drains, like sewage, mold, or rotten food.
• The water level in your toilet keeps going up and down.
• There are sudden changes in the water flow from taps or the water pressure.
• A thick layer of built-up soap scum is on the floor of your shower or tub.
• There are dirty rings around the sink drain or walls of the sink.

Using Drain Clog Remover on Clogged Sink Drains

You might be able to clear a clogged sink drain with a drain clog remover. Don't use drain clog remover on clogged shower drains or garbage disposals. You also shouldn't pour drain clog remover into a sink or other plumbing fixture with standing water. The drain clog remover could splash back into your face or eyes and end up sitting in the sink or pipes. If it doesn't get flushed down the pipes, drain clog remover can be extremely corrosive and damaging to your plumbing. When using drain clog remover on clogged sink drains, follow the instructions carefully and wear gloves and goggles to prevent accidents or injuries.

Can a Plunger Fix a Clogged Shower Drain?

You can also try to clear a clogged drain yourself using a plunger. Plungers work best on clogged sink drains and clogged toilets. If your bathtub drain is clogged or you have a clogged shower drain, the clog is likely too deep in the pipes for a plunger to have any effect. You need to use a plumbing snake, auger, or drain rooter to pull hair and soap scum out of the pipes. Use a cup plunger for clogged sink drains and an accordion plunger for clogged toilet drains. Always place the plunger firmly over the center of the drain, and plunge forcefully. You have to use a plunger for much longer than you'd think - it can take 20 or more plunges to clear a drain successfully.

How We Fix Clogged Drains

We can fix clogged sink drains, clogged toilets, and clogged shower and bathtub drains. We first do a plumbing video camera inspection to determine the location and extent of the clog. Then we will recommend one of these drain cleaning methods:

• Hydro Jetting Services - Hydro jetting services use highly pressurized water jets to break apart stubborn clogs. The clog then gets pushed out into the municipal sewer system. Hydro jetting is so powerful that it can remove decades of debris and sludge clogging up your drains.
• Drain Cleaning Services - Our general drain cleaning services utilize plumbing snakes or augers and enzymatic drain cleaners to clear clogged drains.
• Drain Rooter Work - We can use a powerful drain rooter that extends up to 150 feet into your plumbing. As the drain rooter twists and rotates in the pipes, it breaks apart clogs and traps hair and other debris. We can flush it into the city's sewer system with hydro jetting services or pull it back out through the drain.
• Plumbing Maintenance - Our preventive plumbing maintenance can lower your risk of future plumbing problems. Once we clear your clogged drains, we suggest you sign up for our Advantage Plan. By scheduling routine, ongoing plumbing maintenance services like clogged drain cleaning, plumbing inspections, and plumbing repairs, you can reduce your risk of a burst pipe, water leak, or sewer system backup.
