SIGNS YOU NEED DRAIN CLEANING

Signs you need drain cleaning

One slow fixture usually points to that fixture alone. Several fixtures backing up together points further down the line. See Main Sewer Line Cleaning for how that pattern is explained. This local drain cleaning service in South Pasadena, CA is provided by Pasadena CA Drain Cleaning Pros, the drain cleaning company named on this page.

COMMON CAUSES OF BLOCKED DRAINS

Common causes of blocked drains

Kitchen drains slow down when food debris, soap, and grease build up inside the drain over time, and that buildup can narrow the drain until water drains slowly. Bathroom drains slow down when toothpaste, soap, and grime collect in the sink drain, and hair can collect in the sink trap. Toilet drains block when too much paper is used at once, when wipes are flushed, or when a small object falls into the bowl. A drain that keeps clogging in the same way may still have a partial blockage, rather than a single object blocking it once.

HOW A BLOCKED DRAIN IS CLEARED

How a blocked drain is cleared

1Describe the problem. Note which fixture is affected, whether it is slow, blocked, or backing up, and whether any other fixture is affected.
2Find the blockage. The affected drain is checked to find where the blockage sits and what is likely causing it, in general terms.
3Clear the blockage. The blockage is cleared from the drain. The method depends on the fixture and the cause, see Kitchen Drain Cleaning, Bathroom Drain Cleaning, or Toilet Clog Clearing for the fixture pages.
4Test the drain. The fixture is run and watched to check that it drains normally again.
5Explain what was found. You are told, in plain language, what was blocking the drain and what to watch for if the same problem comes back. If other fixtures are affected, you are pointed to Main Sewer Line Cleaning.

TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT

Tools and equipment

A blocked drain is usually cleared with simple, standard tools. A plunger is often tried first for a light blockage. A drain auger, also called a snake, is a tool made for reaching a blockage inside a drain line. A camera can show what is happening inside a drain in general terms, when a problem keeps coming back, see Video Camera Drain Inspection. No tool brand, model, or specification is claimed here.

BENEFITS OF CLEARING A BLOCKED DRAIN

Benefits of clearing a blocked drain

For a professional drain cleaning service in South Pasadena, CA, the same general approach applies to residential drain cleaning and commercial drain cleaning alike: homes and businesses are described in general terms only, with no particular property type named.

BACKING-UP CAUTION

Backing-up caution

If water is backing up, or a drain is about to overflow, stop using the affected fixtures and avoid adding more water to them. Keep clear of any water on the floor. Note which fixtures are affected, and describe what happened when you call.

A Closer Look at South Pasadena

Local conditions shape the service plan.

Local conditions shape the service plan. The age of a home, mature trees near the line, and the condition of older pipes all change what a drain problem looks like — and which starting method makes sense. Describe your property and the problem when you call, so the plan starts from your drain, not a generic one.

01

Access and property layout

Access shapes the visit. A clear path to the affected drain, and a note of any gate, driveway, or lower-level access, helps the work start without delay. Mention access details when you call, so the visit is planned around your property's layout.

02

Choosing the right starting method

The starting method follows the symptoms. A single slow fixture points one way; several fixtures backing up together points another. Describing which fixtures are affected, and how often the problem returns, is what puts the visit on the right starting method.

03

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell if it is one drain or the main line?

If only one fixture is slow or blocked, the problem is usually in that fixture's drain. If several fixtures back up together, or you hear gurgling from more than one fixture, the problem may be further down the line. Note every affected fixture, and describe the full pattern when you call, so the problem can be understood clearly.

Why is my kitchen sink draining slowly?

Kitchen sinks slow down when food debris, soap, and grease build up inside the drain over time. A sink that drains slowly after washing dishes, or gurgles when the dishwasher runs, may still have a partial blockage. Avoid adding more grease down the sink, and describe the pattern when you call.

Why does my drain keep clogging after it was cleared?

A drain that keeps clogging usually still has a partial blockage, or a cause that was not fully removed the first time. Grease, buildup, and foreign objects can all narrow a drain again. If the same drain clogs in the same way more than once, note how often it happens and describe the pattern when you call.

What should I say when I call about a blocked drain?

Start with which fixture is affected, and whether it is slow, blocked, or backing up. Note how long the problem has lasted, whether it has happened before, and whether any other fixture is affected. That short description helps the problem be understood clearly before a visit is arranged.
