How to Prevent Clogged drains
You should schedule a drain cleaning annually to ensure the reliability of your pipes. The best way to prevent clogs is by monitoring what you send into your sewage system.
Throw these items into the trash instead of down your drain:
- Coffee grounds
- Grease
- Fat or oil
- Large food scraps
- Hair
- Feminine hygiene products
- Dental floss
- “Flushable” wipes
- Fruit pits
- Bar soap
What Not to Flush Down Your Bathroom Drains
You should never send hair or bar soap down the drain in the bathroom. You can prevent this by using a hair catcher in your drain. Also, “flushable” wipes do not disintegrate fast enough for most plumbing systems and are a great way to cause clogs. Don’t send flushable wipes, dental floss, q-tips, cotton balls, cotton pads, one-time-use face masks, or feminine hygiene products down your pipes.
If a clog does exist in your plumbing, we also have sewer video inspection services that can be used to find exactly where and what the clog is allowing us to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
Call (540) 226-3133 for additional details on our video inspection services to get your drains flowing smoothly again.
Why Choose Professional Drain Cleaning?
While there are DIY methods for unclogging drains, hiring a professional drain cleaning service offers several benefits:
- Effective and long-lasting results: Professional plumbers have the knowledge, experience, and specialized tools to effectively remove even the toughest clogs. They can ensure that your drains are completely cleared, preventing future clogs and backups.
- Prevention of costly plumbing emergencies: Regular drain cleaning can help prevent major plumbing emergencies, such as burst pipes or sewer backups. By keeping your drains clean and clear, you can avoid expensive repairs and potential water damage to your home.
- Improved plumbing system performance: Over time, debris and buildup can accumulate in your drains, causing slow drainage and reduced water flow. Professional drain cleaning can restore your plumbing system's efficiency, allowing water to flow freely and preventing issues like standing water and foul odors.
- Safe for your plumbing: DIY drain cleaning methods, such as using chemical drain cleaners, can be harsh on your pipes and potentially cause damage. Professional drain cleaning methods are safe for your plumbing system, ensuring that your pipes remain in good condition.
- Expert advice and recommendations: When you hire a professional drain cleaning service, you can benefit from the expertise of experienced plumbers. They can provide you with valuable advice on how to prevent future clogs and maintain your drains in the best condition.

Signs You need drain cleaning
The sooner you remove a building clog, the better your pipes will be.
Pay attention to these warning signs that you have a clog so you can reach out to our team for expert drain cleaning:
- Unpleasant odors: Foul smells are often a result of material that has gotten stuck and begun to rot. Avoid this by not sending large food scraps or fruit pits down your drain.
- Unusual sounds: Gurgling is one of the first signs that a clog is beginning to form. Gurgling is caused by the movement of trapped air around a blockage. You may also notice air bubbles coming up from the drain.
- Slow drains: This means a clog is partially formed, and it’s time to call the professionals if you haven’t already. Slow drains do not go away with time, so you need to reach out to our team immediately before it becomes a more significant issue like sewage backup.
Many homeowners may attempt to use DIY chemical cleaners to resolve these issues before trusting our professionals. However, many publicly available cleaners can increase the corrosion of your pipes.
