Common Drain Calls

Kitchen sink stoppages, bathroom sink clogs, shower and tub drains, toilet backups, laundry drains, floor drains, drains that smell bad, and drains that gurgle can all point to different issues.

Recurring Clogs Need Attention

If the same drain keeps clogging, there may be grease buildup, roots, a sag in the line, a damaged pipe, or something being sent down the drain that should not be there.

What Not to Put Down the Drain

Grease, coffee grounds, wipes, feminine products, paper towels, pasta, rice, potato peels, and fibrous foods are common causes of drain problems.

💡 Brian's Professional Tip

Chemical drain cleaners rarely fix the real problem. They may open a small path temporarily, but recurring clogs usually need to be physically cleared and understood.

Myth vs. Fact

❌ Myth: Store-bought drain cleaner fixes clogged drains.

✅ Fact: It may temporarily burn through part of a clog, but it often does not remove the buildup causing the problem and can be rough on plumbing.
