Signs You Need Professional Drain Cleaning

If you notice any of the following issues, it may be time to schedule a professional drain cleaning service:

  • Slow-draining sinks, tubs, or showers
  • Frequent clogs or backups
  • Foul odors coming from drains
  • Gurgling noises in pipes
  • Water pooling near floor drains
  • Sewer backups or basement flooding

When store-bought drain cleaners fail, professional drain cleaning services provide a long-lasting solution to eliminate buildup and restore proper drainage.  

Benefits of Regular Drain Cleaning & Maintenance

  • Prevention of Flooding & Water Damage – Eliminates clogs before they cause major leaks or backups.
  • Improved Water Flow & Pressure – Ensures efficient drainage by removing blockages.
  • Odor & Bacteria Elimination – Prevents sewer gas smells and harmful bacteria growth inside pipes.
  • Reduced Risk of Corrosion & Pipe Damage – Minimizes wear and tear from hard water and debris buildup.
  • Cost Savings on Future Repairs – Routine maintenance helps avoid costly plumbing emergencies.

Our Drain Cleaning Services

At The Waterworks, we use state-of-the-art tools and techniques to clean your drains efficiently.

1. CCTV Camera Inspections

We use high-resolution drain cameras to inspect pipes and pinpoint the exact cause of blockages. This non-invasive method helps us:

  • Identify pipe leaks, cracks, and damage
  • Detect deep blockages, including tree roots
  • Perform pre-purchase property inspections

By diagnosing issues accurately, we recommend the best solution for your drainage system.

2. Drain Snaking (Mechanical Drain Clearing)

For stubborn clogs, we use a professional plumbing snake to:

  • Break apart debris, grease, and hair clogs
  • Remove food buildup from kitchen drains
  • Clear minor sewer line blockages

Drain snaking is a safe, chemical-free solution that clears most common drain obstructions.

3. Hydro-Jetting (High-Pressure Drain Cleaning)

For severe clogs or slow-moving drains, hydro-jetting is the most effective solution. This method:

  • Uses high-pressure water to break apart buildup
  • Clears grease, tree roots, soap scum, and mineral deposits
  • Restores pipes to like-new condition
  • Prevents future blockages by completely flushing out debris

Hydro-jetting is non-invasive, safe, and highly effective for both residential and commercial drainage systems.

Had a water main issue. Feared it was outside. Set appt online through the website, which was fairly straightforward and easy to do from a user standpoint. Rodney, the Technichian assigned to our job , arrived at about 9am and was done by approx 1030. After carefully assessing the situation , he determined the issue was inside and gave us the estimate for what he believed would solve our issue, making clear this was the simplest and that he wanted to start with that to make the repair. If that didn't work , it would be more involved. He did in fact successfully repair the problem by the simpler means. Would recommend Waterworks and will use them again if needed.

Both techs were very professional and friendly and did a great job with our plumbing projects. The only problem was that they left a lot of solder splashes and blobs on the basement floor, could have done a better job of cleaning up. The upstairs laundry room project was done very well and everything was clean when they left.
