Common questions
Why does my drain keep clogging?
Repeat clogs usually mean roots in an older clay or cast-iron lateral, a bellied section holding waste, or grease buildup narrowing the line. A camera inspection tells you which — and whether cleaning or repair is the real fix.
Is chemical drain cleaner OK?
Caustic cleaners damage older pipes and rarely clear real blockages; they also make the line hazardous for whoever works on it next. Mechanical clearing is safer and actually removes the blockage.
What if sewage already backed up?
Sewage water is a health hazard — keep kids and pets away and don't clean it up with household tools. Clearing the line plus professional sanitizing is the standard response, and it's often insurable.
