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.

I cannot say enough good things. This is the second time Waterworks has saved me from another big name company that tried to upsell me and deceive a single female homeowner into major repairs. I was told I needed a 3,500 dollar repair and Waterworks inspected and fixed it for 500. Customer for life!!

We had a late-in-the evening water leak below our bathroom sink. Thankfully, the service pro from Waterworks was able to make a visit to address the problem quickly. He was an excellent problem-solver and knew immediately how to solve the problem. It was a difficult job, but because of his expertise (skill & experience), the Waterworks service pro solved the problem efficiently and expertly. We have had no problems since that incident last week. We have long been steady customers of Waterworks and will continue to do so in the future. If you want a plumbing company with efficiency, expert skill, and a pleasant "can-do" attitude, call Waterworks! We have been customers for 20 years now! Thanks Waterworks!

We had a middle of the night water leak in our laundry room with water pouring into our basement. We called Waterworks 24/7 emergency line, off of a family recommendation, to get an after hours technician. One was available and called shortly to let us know he was on his way. Michael was so helpful and level headed when we were tired and trying to figure out how much damage was done and how it happened. He figured out the problem and walked through what he needed to do, what to do to get everything dried up, and what we would need moving forward. We have had some not so great experiences with getting the run around or a sales pitch from other service providers for home repairs before, but this experience was genuinely helpful and shot straight, which was refreshing. We will happily use Waterworks again.
