Drain Cleaning Company in Oakland Park, FL
Why Do Drains Keep Backing Up?
If you’ve experienced a drain stoppage more than once, there’s likely an underlying issue that needs more than just a quick fix. Our visit today is focused on properly clearing and maintaining your drain to help prevent future problems.
Here are the most common reasons your drain may be backing up:
1. Poor Drain Line Condition
Over time, your drain lines naturally wear down. Older pipes, especially cast iron, can corrode and develop a rough interior surface.
Think of it like sliding tissue across sandpaper, debris catches easily and builds up over time, eventually causing a blockage.
A professional camera inspection can identify these issues early and help prevent major backups.
2. Grease Build-Up
Grease doesn’t wash away as easily as it seems.
Just like a pan that needs more than water to get clean, grease sticks to the inside of your pipes and gradually builds up.
In many cases, a high-pressure hydro jetting service is needed to fully clear the line. This process blasts away heavy buildup and restores proper flow.
Important to note, hydro jetting is preventative maintenance, not a permanent repair.
3. Root Intrusion
Tree roots are one of the leading causes of sewer line damage.
They naturally grow toward moisture and can break into small cracks in your pipes. Once inside, they expand, block flow, and can even break the line.
While drain cleaning can temporarily remove roots, it does not fix the crack. Continued cleaning or chemical treatments can actually weaken the pipe further over time.
In many cases, permanent repair or replacement may eventually be needed.
4. Belly in the Line
A “belly” is a low spot in your sewer line where water and waste collect instead of flowing properly.
These areas, also known as sags, create ongoing blockage issues and cannot be fixed with cleaning alone. Repairing the pipe is the only long-term solution.
5. Foreign Objects & Everyday Debris
Many common household items can cause serious drain issues, including:
- Baby wipes (even “flushable” ones)
- Paper towels and hygiene products
- Cotton swabs and cotton balls
- Hair buildup
- Food waste like pasta or rice that expands
- Small objects like toys
These materials do not break down properly and can quickly lead to clogs.
Our Drain Cleaning Services Include:
Kitchen and Bathroom Drains: We clear stubborn grease, soap scum, and food waste to keep water flowing freely.
Toilet Drains: Whether it’s a clog from excess toilet paper or a deeper issue, we’ll find the cause and clear it fast.
Shower and Tub Drains: Slow-draining tubs are often signs of buildup deep in the line, we’ll take care of it.
Main Sewer Lines: Using high-pressure water jetting and camera inspections, we can clear major blockages and restore your line.
Storm Drain Cleaning: Prevent outdoor flooding and pooling by keeping your storm drains clean and clear.
Our Drain Cleaning Process
We’ve built our reputation as a leading drain cleaning company by keeping things simple, efficient, and effective.
Step 1 – Diagnosis
We start with a thorough assessment of the problem. If needed, we use video camera inspections to locate clogs deep within the pipes and identify the exact cause, no guesswork involved.
Step 2 – Cleaning
Depending on the type of clog, we’ll use professional-grade tools like mechanical augers, drain snakes, or hydro-jetting to remove the blockage completely. These methods are safe for your plumbing and tough on buildup.
Step 3 – Prevention Tips
Once the job is done, our technicians will share practical advice to help you avoid future clogs, like what not to flush, how to care for your garbage disposal, and when to schedule maintenance.
