Drain Clogged?
Let's get to the Bottom of It.
A sink that won't empty. A shower that keeps backing up. A drain that just doesn't smell right. Tell Good Fellas what you're dealing with, and we'll help find the cause—not just guess at it.
Your Drains Usually Give You a Warning.
One slow drain might be a simple blockage. When the same trouble keeps coming back, there's usually a reason worth checking.
Clear the Drain. Find the Cause.
Not every clogged drain needs the same fix. We look at the symptoms and the plumbing involved before talking through the options.
Help for Stubborn Clogs
Food debris, grease, hair and soap buildup can restrict water flow. We assess the blockage and discuss a suitable approach to clear it.
When the Problem Keeps Coming Back
Repeated backups may point to a deeper issue. Good Fellas can help figure out whether further inspection is needed.
More Than a Quick Fix
When damaged plumbing is involved, we'll explain what we find and discuss repair options. Ask us about ways to reduce future buildup.
Keep the Wrong Stuff Out of Your Drains.
Some of the most useful drain maintenance is simple. A few habits can help cut down on common blockages. They won't fix a damaged pipe, but they may prevent everyday buildup.
- Put cooking grease and oil in the trash, not the sink.
- Use strainers to catch hair and food scraps.
- Keep wipes, even ones labeled flushable, out of toilets.
- Avoid repeated chemical drain cleaner use; it can be hazardous.
- Pay attention when slow drains become a recurring issue.
Before You Try Another Quick Fix...
These answers can help you understand what may be happening, but an onsite check may be needed to identify the actual cause.
Why does my sink keep clogging?
Grease, food, soap, hair and other debris can build up inside drain piping. Repeat clogs may also point to a deeper blockage or pipe problem.
Why are several drains slow at the same time?
When multiple fixtures are affected, the issue may be farther along in the shared drain or sewer line. Stop using fixtures if wastewater is backing up and have the problem evaluated.
Can a sewer camera help?
For recurring backups or suspected sewer damage, a camera inspection may help identify certain obstructions or damage. Learn more about Good Fellas sewer camera inspections.
Should I use a chemical drain cleaner?
Chemical products can create safety risks and may affect certain pipes. Follow label precautions if you use one, never mix products, and tell your plumber what you've used.
Can you give a price before seeing the drain?
The right approach depends on the location, severity and cause of the clog. Give Good Fellas a call to discuss what you're experiencing and the next step.
