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
Taking preventative measures for your home is a small but easy way to stop blockages from plaguing your system. 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. “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, or feminine hygiene products down your pipes.
Even if you have a garbage disposal, you shouldn’t send various items down your kitchen sink to protect it against blockages. Coffee grounds, grease, fat, oil, large food scraps, and fruit pits are all common materials in clogs. Not only do these materials create blockages, but they also usually damage your garbage disposal.
If a clog does exist in your plumbing, we also have 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. Please call (540) 226-3133 or contact us online for additional details on our video inspection services.

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. Always count on American Tank Cleaning because we’re number one with number two. When you need expert drain cleaning, trust the professionals with 25 years of experience. We’re family-owned and operated, so you know we’ll treat you like one of our own.
