Your home’s plumbing system works only as well as its worst drain. If you have a clogged sink, shower, or toilet, it can be a hassle to resolve on your own.
At Neffsville Plumbing, Heating & Cooling Services, we provide comprehensive drain and sewer services throughout South Central Pennsylvania to ensure your plumbing system works without interruption.
We’re ready to take your call 24/7 and offer same day and emergency services when you need them most.
Signs You Need Drain Cleaning
The hidden nature of your drain and sewer system can make it difficult to know what exactly is going on with your pipes. Look for these signs that its time to call professional drain cleaners:
- Sewage backs up into showers, tubs, or sinks.
- Showers, tubs, or sinks are draining slower than normal.
- You hear gurgling or bubbling sounds coming from your drains.
- Your drains smell like sewage.
Although it may seem like a fast solution, it’s best not to use chemical drain cleaners to address a clog. Not only are they dangerous, but they can damage your pipes, causing more harm than good.
If you suspect you have a clog, call Neffsville Plumbing at (717) 625-1000 to request drain cleaning in South Central Pennsylvania.
Video Camera Inspections
To quickly and accurately identify problems within your pipes, our experienced plumbers use video inspections. We feed a waterproof camera through a sink, shower, or toilet drain to identify:
- Grease
- Food
- Mineral buildup
- Tree root infiltration
- Hair
- And any other causes of drain clogs or damage
Once we have determined the source of the problem, we’ll address the issue quickly to get your drains working as they should.
Hydro Jetting
Hydro jetting is one of the most powerful drain and sewer cleaning techniques. Unlike snakes and augers, which pull a clog from a pipe, hydro jetting uses a powerful stream of water to break up even the toughest clog.
Snakes and augers are effective for many blockages, but hydro jetting is likely the best solution if you’re experiencing frequent backups, tree root infiltration, or more significant clogs.
Call Neffsville Plumbing at (717) 625-1000 to request hydro jetting.
How To Avoid Clogged Drains
The best way to address clogged drains is to prevent clogs in the first place. You should:
- Use a hair catcher in showers and tubs.
- Never pour grease, fats, coffee grounds, or fruit peels or pits down your kitchen drain, even if you have a garbage disposal.
- Don’t flush wipes or sanitary products, even if they’re labeled “flushable.”
