Knowing When to Call a Professional Drain Service

Blocked drains are one of the most annoying and inconvenient household maintenance issues that you can experience. If they occur as the result of roots in the drain lines, you might have to dig up your garden to get to the root of the problem (pun intended!). After digging up your lawn, patio and driveway, you'll be stuck with a costly and unsightly mess, which will require hiring more contractors to repair the damage.

What if I told you that you may not need to dig up the garden to clean your drains? That's correct. A professional drain service knows how to clean your drains and remove tree root infestations without having to dig up your garden and without damaging your pipes, joints and fixtures.

How Pros Clear Clogged Drains


When you call in a professional drain cleaning service that uses modern plumbing technology, you will notice the difference immediately. Instead of shovels, they will arrive with a set of rooters or augers. These augers with attached spinning blades are entered into your drain where they will cut up and remove any tree roots and other obstructions that could cause blockages.

Only professional drain service specialists should handle this equipment in order to avoid further damage to your drains and plumbing system as a whole.

Call a Professional Drain Service Right Away

It is important to call a professional drain service at the first sign of blocked drains. A professional, licensed plumber will be able to quickly assess, diagnose and repair the issue.

You don't have to call a drain service if you're able to reach the blockage with an auger, but if it is too far down the line, or if you're afraid that you may damage your plumbing system, it is best to get in touch with the pros.
