A blocked drain can happen in any home. Buildup below the affected drain or a problem deeper in the pipe can cause water to drain slowly or not at all. Commercial drain cleaners don’t provide a permanent solution and can cause more damage.
At Apex Pros, we provide professional drain cleaning throughout Central Ohio. Our licensed and experienced plumbers use advanced equipment and methods, including drain snakes and hydro jetting to clean drain pipes.
Our team is ready to provide drain and pipe cleaning in your home in Columbus, Dayton, Gahanna, Dublin, Newark, or surrounding areas. Read our 5 Star Reviews!
When to Call for Drain Cleaning
A clogged drain often starts as a minor issue. Slowly draining water is easier to dismiss than other plumbing problems or you may not notice it. Do not ignore the issue. Call Apex Pros whenever you see the following signs of potential trouble:
- Slow Drainage: Water in your sink, tub, or shower may drain slower and slower as more waste sticks to pipe walls over time.
- Unpleasant Odors: If your drains are emitting bad odors, then waste, rotting food, or bacteria may be present.
- Gurgling Drains: When a drain makes a gurgling sound, an obstruction in the pipe may be preventing water from flowing properly.
- Drain Flies: Seeing lots of bugs around drains is a sign they’re finding sources of food where there shouldn’t be.
- Frequent Clogs: When a drain clogs up soon after your efforts to clear it, call and our plumbers will find a permanent solution.
- Multiple Blocked Drains: If drains throughout your home are affected, it can be due to a larger plumbing problem or an issue with a sewer drain pipe.
- Waste/Sewage Overflow: A sewage backup can cause major damage and is a health hazard. Call Apex Pros immediately for help.
Why Do My Drains Keep Clogging Up?
Slow drainage can quickly escalate to a drain blockage. A clog can happen at any time of the year and occur suddenly, especially if you haven’t heeded the warning signs. Drains may clog up because plunging them or using chemical cleaners doesn’t remove all the debris. Many products are ineffective and can also cause pipe corrosion.
The causes of drain clogs are found all over your home. Some of the most prevalent are grease, soap, and food waste. These stick to pipe walls while hair can get into drains and stick to grease and other materials. Over time, it forms knotted clumps that can completely block drain lines.
Dirt washed from clothes in the laundry can also build up in your pipes. Removing loose materials before placing items in the washing machine can prevent problems. Using too much toilet paper is another risk for clogged drains. Minerals in your water supply can also build up in pipes and block them over time.
Apex Pros: Our Drain Cleaning Methods
We offer various solutions to resolve your plumbing issues, from drain cleaning to drain pipe repair. Our plumbing and drain professionals start with the following options to get your drains flowing again:
- Video Camera Inspection: Video cameras attached to long cables let our technicians inspect the interior of pipes. They can then diagnose the issue, the severity of the clog, and its location.
- Mechanical Snaking: A tool called an auger is run through the drain line on a flexible metal cable. It can break apart or remove whatever is blocking the drain.
- Hydro Jetting: Water is pumped at high pressure into the drain pipe to break up any materials blocking it and clean remaining debris off interior pipe walls. It’s a safe and effective way to restore full drainage.
Apex Pros Covers All Your Drain and Plumbing Services
Our team delivers fast, reliable, and affordable drain cleaning. With the latest tools and methods, any type of blockage can be cleared from a toilet, shower, sink, or basement floor drain. We can also clear garbage disposals, downspouts, and main drain lines. The goal is to find the safest and most effective means to restore your plumbing.
Drain Repair
A drain repair may be necessary if clogs recur. The pipe may be corroded or broken, which requires more steps to fix than unclogging a drain. However, Apex Pros offers simple and effective solutions such as trenchless drain replacement that restores your plumbing without breaking walls or digging up landscaping.
Hydro Jetting
Our contractors use 4,000 psi hydro jetting equipment and run a hose into the clogged drain line. They use only water to scour pipes clean; no harmful chemicals. Hydro jetting can be used if you have signs of a clogged drain or sewer line, or for preventative maintenance if you have hard water or your plumbing is prone to blockages.
Leak Detection & Repair
In some cases, clogs and blockages can damage the drain pipe. A leak can be hard to locate, but we use state-of-the-art equipment to detect it, whether it’s in a wall or above a ceiling. Our team then quickly resolves the issue with professional drain pipe repair, restoring your plumbing and preventing additional water damage.
Main Water Line Repair & Replacement
We can repair or replace your main water line if there are issues with water pressure or water quality. But sometimes a repair isn’t enough; our contractors install new, high-quality pipes when your aging water line has corroded or deteriorated. Replacing it is also a good idea if the pipe is made of galvanized steel and was installed 40+ years ago.
