Schedule drain service when the same drain keeps clogging or several fixtures start slowing down together. If one sink clogs for the first time, clearing the blockage may be enough.

How Often Do Drain Lines Need to Be Cleaned?

Use what your drains are doing to decide when to schedule service. A first-time clog in one fixture may only need clearing. If the same drain clogs again, a camera can help show what is inside the line. Ask Clog Heroes to check a recurring clog before scheduling another cleaning.

What Changes When More Than One Drain Slows Down?

One slow sink may have a blockage near that fixture. If the tub, sink and toilet all start draining slowly or backing up, the problem may be farther down the line they share. Tell the technician which fixtures are affected and when you first noticed the change.

What Happens on a Drain Service Visit?

A technician looks for the cause and gives you a written price before work starts. Snaking clears a blockage. Hydro jetting cleans the inside of the pipe and may be recommended when a camera shows buildup along the wall. After clearing the line, the technician runs water with you to check flow.
