What causes clogged drains?

Clogged drains usually happen from everyday stuff building up over time—things like hair, soap scum, grease, food scraps, or even small items that accidentally go down the drain. Sometimes, if clogs keep coming back or you notice multiple drains slowing down at once, it can point to a bigger issue deeper in the plumbing system, like heavy buildup or even tree roots affecting the main sewer line. If that's happening, it's a good idea to have a professional take a look.

What should I do if my drain is clogged?

For minor clogs, you can try a plunger or a basic drain snake to clear the blockage. Avoid using harsh chemical drain cleaners, since they can damage your pipes and usually don't solve the root problem. If the clog keeps returning, or more than one drain in your home is backing up, it's best to schedule a professional drain cleaning. A plumber can fully clear the line and help prevent future issues.

Repair or replace

We fix it — or tell you straight if it’s done

Half the disposals we’re called for just need the jam cleared and the reset button — a ten-minute fix, not a new unit. When the motor’s actually gone or the housing is leaking, we say so, quote the replacement upfront, and have it swapped the same visit.
