Kitchen Drain Maintenance

Kitchen drains often accumulate grease, oils, soap residue, and food debris that slowly restrict water flow. Over time, this buildup can harden inside the pipes, causing recurring clogs or unpleasant odors. Our maintenance service includes deep cleaning, inspection of the P-trap and drain assembly, and removal of stubborn buildup that common household products can’t reach. Regular maintenance helps prevent emergency clogs and keeps your kitchen functioning smoothly.

Bathroom Drain Maintenance

Soap scum, toothpaste, hair, and mineral deposits are common contributors to bathroom drain issues. Even small blockages can cause slow drainage or standing water in sinks, tubs, and showers. Our plumbers provide detailed bathroom drain cleaning, hydro-jetting when necessary, and preventative treatments designed to reduce buildup and maintain consistent water flow.

Sewer Line & Main Drain Maintenance

Your home’s main sewer line handles all wastewater from sinks, toilets, showers, and appliances. A blockage here can cause widespread plumbing issues throughout the home. We offer comprehensive sewer maintenance services including:

  • Camera inspection
  • Root intrusion prevention
  • Hydro-jetting for deep cleaning
  • Pipe condition assessments

By identifying early warning signs, we help prevent sewer backups, which are some of the most damaging plumbing emergencies a home can experience.

Basement & Floor Drain Maintenance

Floor drains in basements, laundry rooms, and utility spaces are essential for managing excess water. If these drains become clogged, your home is at risk for flooding and moisture damage. We clear debris, improve drainage flow, and ensure the system is properly vented and functioning as intended.
