Common Drain Blockage Problems

Different types of blockages require different solutions. We diagnose and fix all of these issues:

Hair Buildup

Hair accumulates in bathroom drains causing slow drainage. We remove buildup and install screens to prevent recurrence.

Grease Blockages

Cooking grease solidifies in pipes creating blockages. Water jetting dissolves and clears grease buildup.

Tree Root Invasion

Tree roots seek moisture and penetrate drain lines. We remove roots and treat the problem area.

Foreign Object Blockage

Toys, wet wipes, sanitary products cause blockages. We retrieve objects or clear the obstruction.

Mineral Buildup

Hard water minerals accumulate reducing flow. Chemical treatments and water jetting restore drainage.

Structural Damage

Collapsed or damaged pipes cause blockages. We assess damage and perform repairs or relining.
