How We Handle Clogged Drains in Virginia Beach

Not every clog is the same, so we use various tools to effectively clear them. Here are a few ways we clear clogged drains in Virginia Beach:

• HydroScrub^® Drain Jetting: Our HydroScrub^® drain jetting service is the best way to get rid of clogs and prevent them from returning. The system uses high-pressure jets of water to break up clogs and clean the inside of your pipes.
• Sewer Camera Inspections: If you're uncertain of the cause of the clog or whether one even exists, we can take a look for you. Our sewer camera inspections reveal hidden clogs and pipe problems long before they are noticeable.
• Drain Snaking: In the case of simple clogs, we can come and snake your drain using a specialized tool that captures clogs and pulls them free.

Call our plumbing experts at the first sign of a slowing drain to prevent the clog from worsening or backing up. The worse a clog becomes, and the further down the pipes it settles, the more problems you'll face. After you call us, we'll identify the best tool for the job and keep you updated on pricing.

Clogged Drain FAQs

How do I clear a clog on my own?

If you're not ready to call in a professional, you may be able to fix a clogged drain using the following steps:

1. Turn the faucet on and let the water run.
2. For a double kitchen sink, plug up one of the drains with a wet cloth.
3. For a regular sink, cover the overflow hole(s).
4. Let the sink fill partially.
5. Grab a cup plunger.
6. Work the plunger up and down over the open drain.
7. Pull the plunger off and repeat the process a few times.

Sometimes, a clog is too stubborn for this method. If you can't clear the clog using a plunger, you can try to snake it. However, your best bet is to call a professional to handle the clog.

If it's been a long time since you've had pipe maintenance, there's a higher likelihood of rust, hair, grease, and mineral buildup forming along the lines of your pipes. Preventative measures help avoid these clogs and save you the hassle of replacing your pipes sooner than necessary.

Does chemical drain cleaner work?

Chemical drain cleaners can clear clogged drains, but they aren’t the best option.

First, drain cleaners are highly corrosive. This quality enables them to melt through clogs and clear up your drain. However, the corrosive nature of these cleaners can damage your pipes. Frequent use of chemical drain cleaners can eventually eat through your pipe lining or even the pipe itself, leaving you with a much worse issue than a clog.

Drain cleaners also aren't very effective at getting rid of clogs in the first place. Liquid cleaners end up coating the walls of your drain pipes. When the cleaner reaches the clog, it only melts away the edges, leaving most of its mass intact. That's why clogs often reappear a few months after using drain cleaner.
