DRAIN CLEANING

If you are experiencing slow or clogged drains, before reaching for home liquid drain cleaners, call the drain cleaning specialists at All for 1 Plumbing, Inc. With over 25 years of experience, we can solve even the toughest drain clogs.  We offer 24-hour service to help you when you need it most.

While home remedies may solve a slow drain short term, they can do more harm in the long run. Liquid drain cleaners are corrosive to some pipe materials, and our team recommends never putting any chemicals or elements other than water into the drain.

Our team of skilled and trained specialists can safely and effectively clear clogs in all interior and exterior drains for residential and commercial customers. 

KITCHEN DRAINS

Pro Tip: Avoid putting grease, oils and fats down the kitchen drain line.

The most common clogs in both residential and commercial kitchens can be traced to grease, cooking oils, and food in the drain line. Even small amounts of fatty substances can build up on the interior of the drain and close off water flow. We recommend wiping down plates and pans, disposing of all food items in the trash and running water to push down any particles that have gone into the drain. If you do have a minor clog, we use specialized drain snaking equipment to clear the blockage and restore drain flow.  

If the line is severely blocked with grease or sludge, a kitchen hydro jetter service is the best solution. With high pressure water, we can remove years of buildup and leave drains clear and smelling fresh. 

TUB AND SHOWER DRAINS

Pro Tip: Install a mesh strainer in the shower to catch hair before it goes down the drain.  

Bathroom sinks, tubs, and showers can become clogged with hair and accumulation of soap scum and other grooming products. With a safe and professional snaking, we can remove hair buildup and ensure that heavy clogs do not cause leaks from excess pressure. 

TOILETS

Pro Tip: When using a plunger for a minor toilet clog, use the right type and do not use too much force as it can weaken toilet seals and cause leaks. 

When the toilet is draining slow or clogged, it is best to hire a professional plumber to auger the line. If all other drains are running clear, it is likely a minor clog in the toilet trap that can be safely cleared by an experienced professional.

If the tub or shower is also clogged and the toilet is bubbling, or you notice the toilet leaking at the base, it indicates a main sewer line clog. 

MAIN SEWER LINES

Pro Tip: Do not put non-flushable items into the drain lines, as they can lead to clogged main sewer drains. Only toilet paper should go into toilet drains.

Main sewer drain clogs can become clogged from normal use, but often severely blocked lines are from non-flushable items such as feminine hygiene products, paper towels, wipes, roots and breaks in the drain line.

A professional main sewer snaking is the first step in diagnosing the cause of the backup and will most often clear the line. If our plumbers encounter roots or hard blockages, we can recommend a sewer camera inspection to view the line, cause of damage, and determine the best method for repair. 

Main sewer line hydro jetting can remove roots and heavy scale buildup, but if the line is damaged, we may need to recommend partial repair, sewer rehabilitation with pipelining or sewer replacement.
