About Drain Cleaning
Drains clog for all kinds of reasons, and at 1st Choice Plumbing, we’ve seen them all. Drain cleaning is one of our most requested services, from a slow bathroom sink to a whole-house backup that stops every drain in your home.
For tough clogs, you need more than a plunger. We use high-pressure water jetting to cut through debris and buildup on the inside walls of your pipe without damaging it, so water, paper and solids drain the way they’re supposed to.
Clearing the clog is step one. When a drain keeps backing up, the root cause lives farther down the line, whether that’s tree roots, a separated joint or a collapsed pipe. In those cases, we dig up and repair the damaged section of your sewer line so the problem stays fixed.
Video Inspections
For persistently slow drains or repeat clogs, we can do a video inspection. We run a hi-res camera on a flexible line down your system, allowing us to see blockages, cracks and collapses in real time. You’ll be able to watch with us in real-time and better understand the health of your drainage system.
Drain Cleaning Services
Slow drains and clogs show up in different ways, but the frustration is always the same. 1st Choice Plumbing handles these clog issues and more:
Sink Drain Cleaning
A bathroom or kitchen sink that drains slowly is caused by hair, soap or food debris building up right in the drain line. We clear it and get your water flowing normally again.
Shower & Tub Drain Cleaning
A shower or tub that drains slowly, leaves standing water or backs up during use usually stems from hair and soap buildup in the drain. We clear it and get your drainage back to normal.
Clogged Toilet Repair
A toilet that clogs repeatedly might have a blockage in the toilet itself, or the problem could be farther down the line. We clear the clog, identify the likely cause and tell you whether it's a drain issue or something that needs further service.
Recurring Drain Clog Repair
A clog that clears temporarily and keeps coming back is a sign the actual problem sits farther down the line, not right at the fixture. We find it and fix it there, instead of clearing the same spot again and again.
Whole-House Backups
When toilets, tubs and sinks all back up at once, the blockage sits in your main sewer line. We clear the line fast, then run a camera through it to see what caused the backup.
Root Penetration
Tree roots work their way into drain lines through tiny cracks and joints, then grow until nothing gets through. We cut the roots out to restore flow and show you on camera whether the pipe needs repair.
Pipe Separations & Collapses
Shifting soil and aging pipe can pull joints apart or crush a section of line, leaving wastewater with nowhere to go. After we clear the drain, we dig up the damaged section and repair it as part of our sewer line services.
Drain Leak Repair
Water leaking from a drain pipe, joint or connection can cause moisture damage under a sink, behind a wall or beneath your flooring. We repair or replace the damaged section to stop the leak for good.
