DRAINS & SEWER
Drain cleaning in Roswell
Drain cleaning in Roswell and North Metro Atlanta. A slow drain or a backup that keeps coming back usually needs more than another pass with a cable. Tell us which fixtures are affected and what has already been tried. We'll clear the line, tell you if the pipe itself needs attention, and give you the proposed scope and price before work begins. Call 770-597-4141.
Signs you need drain cleaning
- Water stands in the sink, tub or shower after you turn the tap off.
- The same drain clogs every few weeks no matter what you pour in it.
- Gurgling from a drain when another fixture runs.
- A smell that comes back after you clean the fixture.
- Several fixtures slow at once, which points to the main line, not the fixture.
How we diagnose it
- 1We ask three questionsWhich fixtures, since when, and what has been tried, including chemical cleaners, which change what we do first.
- 2We find the right accessFixture trap, branch line or cleanout. Opening the right one saves your cabinets and your time.
- 3We clear it and check the flowIf the clog came back or the line is old, we recommend a camera inspection so you are not paying for the same clearing twice.
Your likely options
- Method
Cable or auger
What it doesCuts through hair, soap, paper and small obstructions in a fixture or branch line.
When it applies- most single-fixture clogs.
- Method
Hydro jetting
What it doesHigh-pressure water scours grease, scale and sludge off the pipe wall so the line is back to its full diameter.
When it applies- heavy buildup, restaurant lines, recurring kitchen clogs, where the pipe is sound.
- Method
Camera inspection
What it doesA camera run through the line shows roots, offsets, bellies and breaks, recorded so you can see it too.
When it applies- repeat clogs, several fixtures affected, older or unknown pipe.
- Method
Repair
What it doesA cleaning does not fix a cracked or collapsed pipe. If the camera finds damage, you get the repair options with the price.
When it applies- only when the inspection shows it.
What it costs
A visit to look at the problem. We tell you on the phone, before we schedule, whether that visit has a charge and what it is.
- One fixture versus the main line.
- Where we can access the line.
- Cable versus jetting, and whether a camera run is needed.
A written scope and price for the repair, before we start. No work beyond that scope without your OK.
Tell us what the drain is doing
One fixture or several, how long, and what you have tried. We clear it, and we tell you if there is a bigger problem behind it.
Drain cleaning questions
Will a cable fix a drain that keeps clogging?
Sometimes, but a clog that returns every few weeks has a cause: grease, scale, roots or a sag in the pipe. We find it rather than clear it again.
Should I pour drain cleaner in first?
Please don't. It rarely clears a real blockage and it makes the line hazardous for the person working on it. Tell us if you already have.
Is this the sewer line?
If more than one fixture is slow or water comes up in a tub or floor drain, it usually is. Call rather than waiting.
Do you charge to come out and look?
We tell you on the phone, before we schedule, whether the visit has a charge and what it is.
How soon can you come?
Call and we tell you straight; it depends on the day. For an active leak or backup, call rather than sending the form.
