What Working Drains Really Mean

You turn on the faucet and water disappears down the drain like it should. No standing water in your kitchen sink after washing dishes. No shower puddles that take twenty minutes to drain.

Your morning routine flows smoothly because you’re not working around slow drains or planning your day around which sink actually works. The weird smell from the bathroom drain is gone, and you’re not wondering when the next backup will happen.

That’s what proper drain cleaning gets you. Not just a temporary fix that’ll clog again next month, but drains that work the way they’re supposed to work.

Hydro Jetting Drain Cleaning

How We Actually Clear Your Drains

First, we inspect your drain to see what we’re dealing with. Sometimes it’s hair and soap buildup, sometimes it’s grease, sometimes it’s tree roots or years of accumulated debris.

Then we choose the right approach. For tough clogs, we use hydro jetting – high-pressure water that scours the entire pipe clean, not just pokes a hole through the blockage. For kitchen sink clogs with grease buildup, we have specific techniques that break down the grease properly.

We test the drain when we’re finished to make sure water flows fast and clean. You’ll see the difference immediately, and it’ll stay that way because we actually removed the problem instead of just moving it around.

Emergency Drain Cleaning Millstone

What's Included In Our Service

Every drain cleaning job includes a thorough inspection to identify the real cause of your blockage. We don’t just treat symptoms – we find out why your drain keeps clogging and address that.

You get professional-grade cleaning using the right method for your specific problem. Hydro jetting for stubborn blockages, specialized kitchen sink clog repair for grease issues, and emergency plumber response when you need it fast.

We also explain what we found and give you straight advice about preventing future problems. No upselling, no scare tactics – just honest information about your drains and what you can expect going forward.

Most drain cleaning jobs take 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the severity of the clog and which method we need to use. Simple hair or soap clogs usually clear quickly with professional equipment. Grease buildup in kitchen sinks takes longer because we need to break down the grease properly, not just push it further down the line. Hydro jetting for severe blockages can take up to 2 hours because we’re thoroughly cleaning the entire pipe. We’ll give you a time estimate after we inspect your drain and determine the best approach.
A drain snake pokes a hole through the clog so water can flow again, but it leaves most of the buildup stuck to your pipe walls. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the entire pipe clean, removing grease, hair, soap scum, and debris completely. Think of snaking as punching a hole through a clogged artery versus hydro jetting as actually cleaning the artery. Hydro jetting costs more upfront but lasts much longer because we’re removing the problem, not just creating a temporary opening through it.
Yes, grease clogs are actually one of our specialties because they’re so common in Millstone area homes. Grease hardens in your pipes and catches everything else that goes down the drain, creating stubborn blockages that keep coming back. We use specific techniques to break down the grease properly and remove it from your pipes, not just push it to a different spot. We’ll also explain how grease gets into your drains and simple ways to prevent it from building up again.
Yes, we provide emergency plumber services for severe drain backups that can’t wait until regular business hours. If water is backing up into your home, multiple drains are blocked, or you’re dealing with sewage backup, that’s an emergency situation we can handle. Emergency service costs more than regular appointments, but we’re available when you need us. For non-emergency slow drains, we can usually schedule you within a day or two at regular rates.
Professional drain cleaning shouldn’t damage healthy pipes, but we always inspect your plumbing first to determine the safest approach. For very old or fragile pipes, we adjust our methods accordingly – sometimes using gentler techniques instead of high-pressure hydro jetting. Many older homes in Millstone have pipes that are stronger than homeowners think, but we never take chances. If we find pipes that are too deteriorated for safe cleaning, we’ll explain your options honestly instead of risking damage to your plumbing system.
Most homes benefit from professional drain cleaning every 1-2 years, but it depends on your usage and what goes down your drains. Kitchen sinks with heavy cooking and dishwashing might need attention annually, especially if you deal with grease. Bathroom drains in homes with long hair or heavy product use clog more frequently. We’ll give you a realistic timeline based on what we find during your service. Some customers never need us again, others call annually – it really depends on your specific situation and how well you maintain your drains between cleanings.
