Drain Cleaning & Rooter — common questions
What's the difference between snaking and jetting?+
A cable punches through the blockage and restores flow. High-pressure water scours the pipe wall itself, which is what grease and soap buildup really need. Which one a line calls for depends on the pipe material, the clog, and access.
Is chemical drain cleaner a bad idea?+
Generally, yes. It's caustic, it often stalls on top of the clog instead of clearing it, and repeated use is hard on older cast iron and on the rubber in traps. It also makes the line more hazardous for whoever opens it next.
One slow drain or several — does it matter?+
It matters a lot. A single slow fixture is usually a local clog in that trap or branch. Several fixtures slowing together, especially the lowest ones in the house, points at the main line instead.
How often do household drains need cleaning?+
There's no fixed schedule, but kitchen lines in homes that cook often and main lines on properties with mature trees are the two that tend to need attention on a cycle rather than only after a backup.
What actually causes most kitchen clogs?+
Cooking fats that cool and coat the pipe wall, then catch everything else. Coffee grounds, rice, pasta, and fibrous vegetable waste build on that layer. Scraping into the trash beats rinsing into the drain.
How do I stop the same drain clogging again?+
Find out what the line is doing, not just whether it flows today. Recurring clogs in one spot usually mean a defect — a belly, a root, a bad transition — rather than bad luck. Ask about that when you call.
