Drain Cleaning in Savannah, GA
If one drain is slow, the clog is close to that fixture. If several drains back up together, or water appears in a tub when you flush, the clog is in the main line.
Request a plumberKitchen clogs
Cooking grease, rice and coffee grounds build a sticky layer inside kitchen lines. Pour grease into a can, scrape plates into the trash and run plenty of water after the disposal.
Bathroom clogs
Hair and soap in showers; wipes and paper towels in toilets. Even wipes labeled flushable don't break down like toilet paper.
Old cast iron
Many older Savannah homes still have cast-iron drains. Over decades the inside rusts and scales, narrowing the pipe until it catches everything. Clearing it helps, but a camera shows whether it's time for replacement.
Roots from the oaks
Savannah's live oaks are beautiful, and their roots go looking for water. Cracked joints in older sewer lines let them in. Cutting roots clears the line for a while; see sewer line replacement for a longer fix.
What the plumber uses
A cable machine for most clogs, hydro jetting to scour grease and roots off the pipe wall, and a camera to see the cause.
Leave the chemicals on the shelf
Caustic openers rarely clear a deep clog and can eat at old pipe. If you've already poured some in, tell the plumber before they start.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I know it's the main line?
- If toilets gurgle when the washer drains, or water comes up in a tub or floor drain, it's likely the main.
- Is hydro jetting safe for old pipe?
- A camera check first shows whether the pipe can take it. Badly deteriorated pipe may need repair instead.
