How often should I have my drains cleaned?

Most homes don't need routine cleaning, but if you've had repeat clogs or have an older cast iron line, a yearly cleaning of the main line can prevent backups.

Are chemical drain cleaners safe?

We don't recommend them. They can damage older pipes and rarely clear the whole clog. A mechanical cleaning is safer and lasts longer.

What causes my basement floor drain to back up?

It's usually a clog or root intrusion in the main sewer line. We can clear it and let you know if a repair is needed.

Why Drains Clog in Older Cleveland Homes

Many homes in Cleveland, University Heights, and Cleveland Heights still have original cast iron and clay sewer lines. Over the decades, those pipes collect grease and scale, and tree roots from mature street trees find their way into the joints.

We start by finding out what's actually causing the clog, then clear it with the right equipment. If a line keeps backing up, we'll explain your repair options so you're not paying for the same fix over and over. Dealing with a leak instead? See our leak detection service.
