Drain Cleaning
Real, practical Drain Cleaning help for Edgewood, Moriarty, and surrounding East Mountain areas. We diagnose the root cause first, then give clear options.
What this service includes
Drain issues usually aren’t “random.” Most are caused by buildup (grease, soap scum, hair, wipes), a partial restriction further down the line, or a developing main line problem. The goal is to remove the restriction fully and confirm drainage—rather than creating a temporary hole through the clog.
When it’s urgent
These situations can escalate quickly—call immediately if you’re seeing any of these.
- Water backing up into a tub/shower when using other fixtures
- Sewage smell or sewage backup
- Multiple drains slow at the same time
- Repeated clogs days/weeks after a “fix”
Not sure what to do next?
Call and we’ll triage fast, then schedule the right fix.
Common causes we see
Knowing the likely cause helps avoid wasted time and repeat problems.
- Grease/soap buildup narrowing kitchen or bathroom lines over time
- Hair and product buildup in tubs/showers
- Wipes/paper products that don’t break down (even “flushable”)
- Partial main line restrictions (multiple fixtures slow/backing up)
- Older lines with rough interiors that catch debris easier
What to expect during service
- Quick symptom check: which fixtures, how often, any backup/gurgle/smell
- Choose the right clearing method for the pipe and restriction
- Confirm flow after clearing (so it doesn’t return immediately)
- Simple prevention steps based on the actual cause
What to avoid
These are the most common mistakes that make repairs harder or more expensive.
- Repeated chemical drain cleaner (pipe damage + safety hazard)
- Ignoring multi-fixture slow drains (often main line warning)
- DIY snaking repeatedly without clearing full buildup

FAQs about Drain Cleaning
Why does my drain keep clogging again?
Usually the restriction wasn’t fully removed, or the real issue is downstream (like a partial main line blockage). We focus on clearing the full restriction and confirming flow.
Is a slow drain an emergency?
Not always, but if multiple drains are slow or you see backups, it can turn urgent quickly. Early fixes are typically cheaper and cleaner.
Can you still work if I used drain cleaner?
Often yes, but tell us first. Some chemicals are dangerous to handle. We’ll plan around it safely.
