Bathroom sinks, tubs and showers
Bathroom drains collect hair and soap until the water barely moves. Clearing the trap or the branch line behind it gets the water running freely again.
Drain Cleaning in Encinitas
Gurgling from the kitchen pipe, a tub that will not empty or sinks that drain at a crawl mean something is stuck in the line. Tell us the address and which drains are involved, and we find a local plumber to clear them.
A plumber can clear sinks, tubs and floor drains and deal with a blocked main line.
Drains we help clear
Kitchen drains
In a kitchen, grease and scraps gradually narrow the drain until the sink backs up. The line gets cleared, and the connection under the sink gets a look at the same time.
The main line
Every branch drain in the house empties into the main line before it leaves the property. Once that line is blocked, more than one fixture slows down, and the work moves to the main itself.
Camera inspections
A camera can show the inside of the pipe once the water is moving again. Roots, a sag or a crack show up, and the plumber explains what the line needs next.
Finding the blocked branch
Which drains are slow tells the story. One slow drain means trouble on its own branch, while several slow ones together mean the shared line behind them.
When the main line is the cause
A blocked main line may call for the camera, and a pipe that is cracked or packed with roots needs more than clearing. The sewer line repair page covers that kind of work.
Frequently asked questions
Can a plumber clear a drain without taking the pipe apart?
It depends on the blockage. The plumber you hire picks the method for your home.
Do slow drains at several fixtures point to a different problem than one?
Yes. Several drains slowing together point to a shared line, because every branch empties into it. One slow drain points to the branch it sits on.
A fixture that drips belongs to fixture repair, and a sink or tub that backs up belongs to drain cleaning. Call us about any other Encinitas plumbing problem.
