What is Drain Cleaning and Do I Need It?

If you need drain clog removal, you’ll know it! Homeowners that have clogged drains will notice the telltale signs like water draining out of a sink/shower slowly or a foul smell coming from your drain. If you see or smell these, you will either need to remove the clog yourself or call a local plumber to come out and take care of the problem for you. These common scenarios point to a minor drain clog due to grease going down a kitchen sink or hair build up in a bathroom sink or shower. However, there are far more serious plumbing issues that can occur as well, which will necessitate a more thorough full drain clean out.

If you have low water pressure or experience strange plumbing issues like toilets overflowing or drains backing up when the toilet is flushed, you may have a far more serious clog issue. A sewer line clog can cause costly and potentially dangerous plumbing problems ranging from flooding to a sewer backup in your home. A main line clog can occur due to roots growing into pipes, sediment sludge building up, or debris finding its way into your plumbing. Call a licensed plumber to come out right away if you notice any of these issues occurring in your home! We service the greater Chicago area and would be happy to come out and lend our expertise to take a look at what may be going on with your home or commercial plumbing!
