Residential Plumbing Service
DRAIN CLEANING
One of our most common service requests are for drain cleaning. If you look around both inside and outside your house, there are a variety of different drains that need to be kept clean so that they work properly. Your Don Heene Plumbing professional has the training and tools to handle any kind of drain cleaning challenge, including:
Kitchen Drains
Grease, soap and food waste can take their toll, making your drains clog and run more slowly over time.
Shower/tub Drains
Water should drain immediately when you’re showering and in just a few minutes after a bath. If it’s draining slowly, your tub or shower trap and drain pipe is probably clogged with soap and hair.
Bathroom sink Drains
Slow draining and clogging are often a result of toothpaste, soap and grime. If you lose a piece of jewelry down the sink drain, don’t run any more water. Call us, and we should be able to retrieve the lost item without too much difficulty.
Toilet Drains
A clogged toilet is often caused by attempting to flush facial tissue, baby wipes or other products that don’t disintegrate the way toilet paper does.And if you have kids, you may have a toy or sock in the works. Fortunately, there’s a special plumbing tool that can cut through any obstruction while hugging the inside wall of the pipe, giving your toilet drain a thorough cleaning at the same time.
Floor Drains
Basements, laundry rooms, garages, patios, driveways and even older bathrooms often have a drain to carry away water and prevent flooding. Usually they are equipped with a trap that should be filled with water to prevent odors and sewer gas from escaping.
Main sewer lines
All your household drains lead into your main sewer line, which connects to a city sewer line or septic tank. The clogging culprit here is usually water –seeking roots that can actually break through the line and clog the drain. That beautiful shade tree in your yard is often the source of a clogged pipe requiring sewer line repair. That’s because that tree has thousands of feet of roots constantly searching for moisture and warmth. And your sewer line is a natural target. We can take care of this by running a cable down the line or run a Hydro -Jetter with a chain cutter to clear roots out.
