Drain Cleaning

Q: What causes drain stoppages, like those I sometimes encounter in my kitchen sink and washing machine?

A: Good question, especially since, in most homes, kitchen and laundry drains are connected. That, in turn, means that greasy build-ups in your sink can also serve to cause back-ups in your washing machine. Improperly installed drain lines can also cause back-ups, even with minimal blockages.

Q: What’s the most likely culprit of tub and shower backups?

A: Talk about recipes! Well, in this case, it’s the gooey combination of hair and grease. Hair…well, you know where that comes from. And the grease?

From soap, shampoo, toothpaste, etc.—all the products you can’t do without. The solution: we recommend high-pressure jetting (when necessary) and the use of a drain-cleaning product like Bio-Clean to maintain free-flowing drains. Bio-Clean is better than the well-known chemical variety because it won’t corrode your pipes and doesn’t harm the environment.

Q: How does high pressure jetting work?

A: High pressure jetting is designed to break up hard-to-reach and stubborn clogs. In this ingenious drain cleaning system, water is brought to tremendous pressures and then propels a hose repeatedly back and forth through the line. This method safely removes buildup on pipe walls, and also works to prevent future clogs.

Q: Is it expensive for a drain cleaning company to find the exact location and extent of a blockage?

A: It can be…but not with Plumbline Services! You see, we employ the latest in video inspection technology. That way, we can identify the source and extent of the problem before we begin the cleaning process. Ultimately, it takes less time and can result in significant savings, too.
