Your Comprehensive Drain & Sewer Solutions in Bloomington

Your home’s plumbing is an intricate network, and a problem in one area can affect the entire system. Our highly skilled technicians are equipped with the knowledge and tools to handle any challenge, ensuring a precise and lasting solution. We go beyond temporary fixes to address the root cause of the blockage.

Kitchen & Bathroom Clogs

From grease and food particles in the kitchen sink to hair and soap scum in the shower drain, household clogs are a common frustration. While DIY methods might offer a short-term reprieve, they rarely remove the entire obstruction. We provide professional clogged drain repair that safely and thoroughly scours the inside of your pipes, removing years of buildup and preventing future blockages.

Main Sewer Line Cleaning

Are multiple drains in your home backing up simultaneously? Do you hear gurgling sounds from your toilets? These are classic signs of a main sewer line clog, a serious issue that requires immediate attention. Tree root intrusion, collapsed pipes, or severe blockages deep within your system can cause sewage to back up into your home. We use advanced diagnostic tools and powerful cleaning equipment to clear your main line and restore proper drainage for your entire property.

Preventative Drain Maintenance

The most effective way to deal with a plumbing emergency is to prevent it from ever happening. Our preventative maintenance programs are perfect for Bloomington homes, especially those with older plumbing systems. Regular, professional drain cleaning removes accumulating debris before it can form a major clog, saving you from the stress and expense of an unexpected backup.

Frequently Asked Questions About Drain Cleaning

Here are answers to a few common questions we receive from our Bloomington customers.

1. How often should I have my drains professionally cleaned?
   For most homes, preventative drain cleaning every 1-2 years is a wise investment. However, if you have an older home, large trees near your sewer line, or a large family that puts heavy demand on the plumbing system, an annual cleaning may be more appropriate to prevent a main sewer line clog.
2. Are over-the-counter chemical drain cleaners a good idea?
   We strongly advise against using liquid chemical drain cleaners. These harsh chemicals can corrode your pipes over time, leading to leaks and expensive damage. Furthermore, they often only create a small channel through a clog without fully removing it, leading to the problem quickly returning. Professional sewer & drain cleaning is a safer and far more effective solution.
3. What is hydro jetting and how does it differ from snaking?
   Snaking (or augering) is a traditional method that uses a cable to break up or pull out a physical obstruction. It’s effective for many common clogs. Hydro jetting, on the other hand, uses a high-pressure stream of water to scour the entire inner diameter of the pipe, removing not just the main clog but also all the accumulated grease, scale, and sludge. It’s the most thorough cleaning method available. You can learn more about how to protect your drains by reviewing resources from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on preventing blockages.
