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.

Our Tech Pete was on time and called us 39 minutes prior to arrival. Did a great job repairing both water heaters and replaced a faulty shower valve. He thoroughly tested everything and cleaned up after he was done. Great overall experience.

Excellent service and support once again by the Waterworks team. Timely arrival to the job site. Assessed challenges and presented a viable solution for our bathroom shower repair. Our partnership with Waterworks is well over 20 years - and each time they are on our property to offer professional guidance - we're reminded while they remain our preferred supply partner.

Our Waterworks experience was completely satisfactory. Our appointment time was kept as promised and even though we could not duplicate our backup issue for the technician to observe, he provided valuable recommendations and suggestions for our situation. Over half an hour of professional time was devoted by the technician yet there was no fee charged! We think that was terrific! We are repeat customers and continue to recommend Waterworks to anyone in need of plumbing assistance.

The office staff is always courteous and makes scheduling appointments painless. The technicians are always courteous, prompt, professional, and thorough. They always explain what they did, how the system is performing, and offer to answer any questions. The email documentation with photos of everything checked and completed is reassuring. We have been customers for decades and the Jonle team has never given us a reason to consider anyone else. The semi-annual planned maintenance package is very cost effective.

This is one of the honest company I have requested Plumbing services for. I requested an inspection on my downspout from them and they sent a technician the same day within a few hours. The technician was Devonte. He was professional and very honest. He explained the system for me clearly and share some expectations upfront. I really like his humanity side and represents his company well.
