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.

Jonle was wonderful to work with from the start. Patrick was excellent- knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and quickly followed up with a quote and timeframe even though the service manager was out of the office that day. I received prompt communication the next morning about the tech’s arrival window, additional text reminders, and even a call the following morning asking if we’d like to move up our timeframe due to a cancellation. Our service tech Chad was kind, professional, got the job done quickly and spent time answering my questions & talking me through everything. I felt very confident in the work he did and information he provided. Their pricing was competitive and significantly better than one of “bigger” names out there (a company we will never be using again now that we’ve found Jonle). It was more in line with other fairly priced companies. Everything was excellent from start to finish and we will use them again in the future and also recommend to others!

We have used Jonle for 20 years and Steve has been our technician the entire time. I keep asking for Steve. He is excellent.. We've had our furnace and A/C unit replaced by Jonle and have saved money on our utility bill. I will not use any other heating company. You can trust this company to do the job right the first time.

On a Tuesday evening at 5pm, we described the problem to Waterworks expecting to have to wait a couple of weeks for an appointment. Instead, they were able to get us on the schedule for Thursday afternoon (only 2 days later)! That day, Brian, our plumber, called and texted to say he when he would arrive, and he did right on schedule. He looked at the problem and identified a couple of different ways it could be handled. Then, Brian looked at pricing for each option to determine the one that was most long lasting yet cost effective. He then worked quickly but carefully to complete the job. And Brian did a great job cleaning up! Couldn't be happier with the job.
