Drain cleaning
A slow drain or a full blockage can be cleared with mechanical rodding or high-pressure jetting. Companies can also inspect the pipes with a camera to find the cause — roots, grease or a collapsed section. Describe where the blockage is and how long the problem has been building.
Frequently asked questions
How much does drain cleaning cost?
Simple blockages are often cleared at a fixed price, while jetting longer runs or a camera survey is priced by scope. Describing the symptoms up front helps companies quote accurately.
Should I try chemical drain cleaners first?
It is best avoided — chemicals rarely shift a real blockage and can damage pipes and harm the environment. Mechanical clearing is more effective and gentler on your system.
How can I avoid future blockages?
Keep fats and grease out of the drain, use strainers in plugholes and never flush wipes or debris. In older properties, occasional preventative jetting can keep the pipes clear.
