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.

The waterworks came through for me. I called them and they sent Kameron Gates out and he worked his magic because he’s very professional and knowledgeable. He gave my family back a much needed working bathroom in minimal time and saved the day. Thank you Waterworks!

Waterworks is the company that comes through every time. The representative is cordial, respectful, on-time, calls ahead before arriving, and completes the job efficiently. Tina at the office is friendly, upbeat, and understanding regarding my situation. She is thorough in taking notes to know what the condition is so that the representative knows the situation. Today, Kevin came to clear my clogged kitchen sink. He knew exactly what to do and he made sure the clog was cleared. He spent the better part of two hours with his equipment cleaning the rust from the pipes. He explained what he did carefully, applied the $35 coupon to the amount, and made sure everything was in order before he left. I trust Waterworks and appreciate the professionalism they exhibit in all aspects of their customer care. Thank you. Lillian Zarzar.

Cory saved the day!! My AC wasn’t cooling and my house was up to 86 degrees. I booked an appointment online (the best thing ever!) in the middle of the night and they were out the next afternoon. Communication on the tech’s arrival was great, I got a call and text when he was on his way. Cory was friendly and explained what our issue was and took care of it quickly! He also explained their maintenance/value plans to keep my system in great shape. So grateful for the quick and professional response. Thank you Jonle team 😊

JonLe/Tri-County Heating & Cooling installed our HVAC systems when we built our house 27 years ago. They have serviced our units ever since. And though we replaced both A/C compressors a few years ago, both furnaces are still doing just fine. These guys have outstanding customer service. Every technician who has ever been to our house has been on-time, friendly, and professional. I cannot imagine having better service. They are the best. Thank you!

The is a great company. Called for service and they came out the next day. Service tech Conrad showed up early for the appointment. Explained our concern about a damp wall. He did a through checked inside and out but could find an issue with drain pipe or plumbing. Gave advice for what may be causing it. He stated there was no charge. Wow with experience with other company that was refreshing. Had water works out years ago they replaced drain pipe in front yard. They just always go quality work. Highly recommend.

Edit: They contacted me a couple days later (and a couple days after the initial review) and did ultimately honor their original quote, so have updated to 4 stars. Dino is a great tech to work with. Original review: Tech was friendly, professional, and seemed knowledgeable. Also used shoe covers indoors, which was appreciated. Low rating is because I was told over the phone (I believe by Barbara, though I was told this by 2 different people by phone and I didn't write down the names) that the price I was quoted was for both A/C and furnace maintenance together in one trip. I was instead told when the tech arrived that price was only for A/C and it would be double that price for both. Miscommunications can happen, though twice on the same day made this feel like a bait-and-switch. Had I known, I would have gone with the other company I got a quote from that offered to do both for a little more than I was just charged for one (since I didn't want to deal with scheduling another appointment). Personally I won't use them for any additional services or recommend them to friends at minimum unless a written estimate is given.

Incredibly happy with the friendly quality (⬅️!!) service The Waterworks provided. They were straightforward and so helpful. My water line replacement was super tricky due to the features of my yard which I worried would be destroyed. Dylan, John, & Jeff did an AMAZING (!!!) job with almost no disturbance to my yard. Later crews promptly returned to fix my sidewalk and replant displaced grass. I could not be happier! Thank you 😊 🙏🏻

Waterworks promptly responded to my request for an annual inspection of my home's backflow valve. I placed the order at 9 a.m., and by 10 a.m. technician André Truss was at my door. He carried out the inspection efficiently, explained each step of the process, and provided valuable guidance on precautions for the upcoming winter. Excellent service—100% satisfied.

I have in the past couple of house projects been conned/screwed over because I believe that since I’m now single because of my husband passing away they got away with it. I’ve gotten less naive with each time but I was still nervous & I admit…a little scared but from the first moment I met Tristan I knew he was going to be honest and professional. Thank you Waterworks and especially Tristan for your professionalism & honesty. Below is what it looked like before and then how beautiful it looks afterwards. 👍🏼

Chet, from Waterworks, recently completed a repair on our shower. He had to track down a part to complete the repair. Even though it was late in the day and supply houses were closed, he was able to secure the part and correct the problem. He was polite, professional and competent. We have used Waterworks in the past and will continue to use them in the future, when needed.

I had two separate visits to have plumbing repairs and upgrades done on a recently purchased home. Both providers (Peter and Emily) were very courteous and personable. The work was quick and efficient. I didn't do any comparison pricing, and suspect you might be able to do a little better on pricing, but the work was an A.

We had a fantastic experience with Waterworks. After dealing with another company that immediately jumped to worst-case scenarios and expensive recommendations, it was a breath of fresh air to work with a team that focused on solving the actual problem. Not only were they professional and responsive, but they completed the work faster and at a significantly lower cost than the previous company quoted. Most importantly, they got it right the first time. The issue that kept returning after only 30 days with the previous contractor has not come back once since Waterworks completed the job. Their customer service was outstanding throughout the entire process. They took the time to explain what was happening, didn't use scare tactics, and treated us with honesty and respect. It's rare to find companies that combine great service, quality workmanship, and fair pricing, but they absolutely delivered. Highly recommend Waterworks to anyone looking for knowledgeable professionals who stand behind their work.

Highly recommend JonLe Heating & Cooling! Our AC froze up a few weeks back. The "other guys" who didn't catch our AC leak during the spring tune-up appointment came out quoting crazy high costs to recharge, crazy high repair estimates, and provided us 4 new AC unit options with little information or context. Then the pressure tactics started the next day: only one unit left in stock, one appointment tomorrow and next available a week out, etc. After a reasonably priced recharge from a friend of a friend, I was able to extend the life of the AC in order to shop around. JonLe Heating & Cooling provided a free second opinion. Frank came out for a visit, assessed the current state, and worked with us to understand our AC concerns in order to quote the correct system for needs. We did not have to debate whether a seer X rated system was worth hundreds or thousands more than a seer Y rated system. Frank recommended and quoted a single system to us, and walked us through the specs and features and throroughly explained the pros/cons and why this system fit our needs. At that point, I was happy to leave the "choose your own adventure" pricing of the other guys behind. Admittedly, I was bracing myself for sticker shock, but feeling confident about spending money on the right system for us. I was pleasantly surprised that the system was not only better spec'd than the other guys "top tier" option, but was also THOUSANDS of dollars cheaper. Win-win! Install went smoothly. Techs were super friendly. Frank even stopped by to check in on the progress midday. And to top it all off, JonLe did not charge a processing fee for using a credit card. All around amazing experience with JonLe Heating & Cooling. Highly recommend!
