We Clean Irvine's Basement Drains

If water is pooling in your basement, a clogging basement drain could be the culprit. First, check your drain trap to see if that is the source of the clog. In some cases, you may be able to dislodge and vacuum out a basement drain if the problem is minor. If you cannot dislodge the blockage, or the issue appears to be deeper in the pipes, you need a professional.

Keeping Utility Drains & Laundry Drains Clear

Some people recommend using harsh chemicals to clear out laundry or utility drains. We do not recommend them. Steer clear of strong chemical products. They are very toxic and can damage your pipes from overuse. Instead, schedule drain cleaning professionals in Irvine to remove a stubborn utility drain clog.

Specialized Sewer Main Drain Cleaning

The first step for clearing out a main drain is locating and accessing the "clean-out". Many homes have a sewer "clean-out" access point that allows one easy access to the sewer system. If you home does not have one, you may want to consider getting one installed. Clean-out or no, our drain specialists can inspect your system. We can also snake your main drain to getting it flowing again.

How to Avoid Clogged Drains

No one likes dealing with clogged drains, especially when the gunk and debris that's preventing your water from flowing freely needs to be removed manually. Fortunately, there are several things you can do to keep your drains from clogging and ensure that water is moving smoothly.

If you want to avoid clogged drains, we recommend following these tips:

• Tip #1: Use a Drain Cover. One of the simplest steps you can take to prevent clogs is to use a drain cover in your sink or bathtub. These covers are designed to catch hair, food particles, and other debris before the have the chance to make their way into your pipes. Simply remove the cover and clean it regularly to prevent buildup.
• Tip #2: Avoid Pouring Grease Down the Drain. It might be tempting to rinse cooking grease down the drain, but pouring grease down your drain is one of the most common causes of clogs. Over time, the grease can solidify and create a blockage, preventing water from flowing through. Instead, let the grease solidify in a container and then dispose of it in the trash.
• Tip #3: Be Careful What You Flush Down Your Toilet. Your toilet doesn't have a drain so it shouldn't matter what you flush, right? Well - not quite. Like any other sink or shower drain, your toilet can get clogged, too. So, be careful what you flush. Only flush toilet paper and human waste down the toilet. Items like feminine hygiene products, baby wipes, flushable wipes, and dental floss can cause clogs. Over time, this can severely damage your drain and sewer line.
• Tip #4: Avoid Placing Starchy Items in the Drain. Pasta, potatoes, and other starchy foods can expand in water and create a blockage in your pipes. Avoid placing these items in your garbage disposal or running them down the drain to keep things flowing smoothly.
• Tip #5: Schedule Regular Drain Cleanings. Finally, one of the most effective ways to prevent clogs is to schedule regular drain cleanings with our professional drain plumber. We can use high-pressure water jetting or other methods to remove buildup and debris from your pipes, which can reduce the likelihood of clogs occurring.

Clogged drains are a hassle that can be avoided through simple preventative measures. Taking these steps can help you avoid costly drain and sewer repairs and keep your home's plumbing in top condition.
