Why Drain Problems Shouldn't Be Ignored

A slow drain is often a sign of a partial blockage that will eventually become a full one. Gurgling drains can indicate a venting issue that affects the whole drain system. Multiple slow drains throughout the home may point to a problem further down the main drain line. We diagnose the real cause — not just the symptom — so the fix actually lasts.

Common Questions

Have more questions? See our full FAQ or give us a call.

Slow kitchen drains are most commonly caused by grease and food debris buildup in the drain line. Over time, grease coats the inside of the pipe and narrows the opening. We can clear the blockage and advise on whether the drain configuration is contributing to the problem.

Gurgling drains are usually a sign of a venting issue — the drain system isn't getting enough air to allow water to flow freely. This can be caused by a blocked vent pipe, an improperly vented drain, or a partial blockage further down the line.

Rarely. A slow drain is usually a partial blockage that will continue to build up over time. Ignoring it typically leads to a full blockage or, in some cases, a backed-up system. It's better to address it early.

We use mechanical methods — drain snakes and augers — to clear blockages. We don't recommend chemical drain cleaners for regular use, as they can damage older pipe materials and don't address the underlying cause of recurring blockages.
