Professional Drain Cleaning Services – Airdrie & Calgary
Eliminating Clogged Drains in Airdrie, Calgary, & Nearby Areas
Clogged drains are one of the most common plumbing issues that homeowners deal with. Your kitchen sink, bathroom sink, toilet, and bathtub are all susceptible to clogging if not maintained properly. Most often you can unclog your drain yourself if it is a simple, occasional issue. However, if you are noticing repeated or multiple clogged drains, or the drains are becoming more difficult to clear on your own, you should call a professional plumber to fix the problem.
Our drain cleaning experts can quickly diagnose and get your drains flowing properly again. We are experienced with both residential and commercial repairs and can either unclog, repair, or replace drain lines or drainpipes.
We offer a wide selection of drain cleaning solutions and are fully equipped to use various methods to unblock clogged drain lines and drain pipes. We even have the lasted sewer and drain video cameras that we can insert into pipes to find out just where the problem is. Wherever the blockage is, we can fix it!
Common Causes of Drain Clogs
How to Recognize Blocked Drains in Your Home
While a slow draining sink is an obvious indication you have a clogged drain, there are other less obvious indications that you should also be familiar with such as:
Low water pressure in one or more fixtures: The plumbing system in your home depends on pressure to move water from one location to another. Blockages can reduce pressure, causing slow flow in sinks, tubs, or other fixtures.
Foul smells coming from pipes: Residue buildup can decompose, creating unpleasant odors, especially from kitchen drains.
Water leaks near sinks or toilets: If water can not drain properly it will eventually escape from another location. Whether that’s under a sink, around faucets or around your toilet, water leaks could indicate there is a clogged drain causing the backflow.
Frequent clogs or backups in multiple areas: If you’re dealing with clogs daily, or in multiple fixtures at the same time, you may have a more serious clog deeper in your piping that needs to be resolved by a trained professional.
Our drain cleaning plumbers can assist you if you are having difficulty using your shower, flushing your toilet, or if your sinks aren't draining. To book an appointment with an expert, contact our team today.
DIY Drain Maintenance
Keep Your Drains Flowing Smoothly With Regular Maintenance
Items put down your drains, including your toilet, that you should never dispose of include coffee grounds, feminine products, ‘flushable’ wipes, or mounds of hair. Flushing these items regularly can produce a large clog that will ultimately backup your pipes and require the help of a professional plumber to get the clog cleared.
Most importantly, avoid using chemical drain cleaners! They will slowly eat away at your pipes and usually don’t work anyway. In many cases, especially with larger clogs, trying to fix a clogged drain on your own can make things worse. You’re best to contact a professional plumbing company to resolve difficult drainage issues.
For regular drain maintenance, you can either rinse your drains with a large container of very hot water followed with a pot of cool water, or a 1:1 solution of baking soda and vinegar followed by running hot water drain the drain the next morning. These maintenance techniques will help prevent muck from building up in your drains.
Even with maintenance, repeated or severe blockages require professional attention. Our drain cleaning experts in Airdrie and Calgary can prevent costly plumbing issues before they start.
