Sewer Drain Unclogging and Cleaning

Home » Sewer Drain Unclogging and Cleaning
When your sewer is clogged, it can be hard to think of a quick solution. Some people try DIY solutions like vinegar and plunger, but these don’t really fix the problem in the long run because they only temporarily resolve blockages caused by accumulated waste materials that will eventually come back again. Another issue with this is that if you try to unclog your drains with chemicals it might cause more harm than good. The best way to go is to call in a professional plumbing service that has the experience and tools to deal with sewer clogs quickly and safely.
If you want a qualified professional to take care of your clogged sewer, call one of our expert plumbers at Crystal Drain & Plumbing today. We have been unclogging and cleaning sewers for years and know how to get the job done quickly and efficiently. Trust us to take care of your sewer problems so you can focus on more important things.

What Causes a Blocked Drain?

The main cause of a blocked drain is the build-up of foreign objects, grease, hair, and soap scum that slowly accumulate over time. This eventually causes a blockage that can lead to problems like bad odours, slow drains, and water backup. A clogged sewer can also be a serious health hazard, so it’s important to address the problem as soon as possible.

Another common cause of sewer clogs is tree roots growing into your sewer line. This is especially common in older homes with clay sewer lines. The roots can enter through small cracks or holes in the sewer line and cause a blockage that can be difficult to remove. To fix this problem, you need to have a professional plumber repair or replace the sewer line.
If you have a blocked drain, it’s important to call a professional plumber as soon as possible. Crystal Drain & Plumbing has the experience and tools to safely and effectively unclog your drains. We’ll have your sewer working like new in no time!
