Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to the top questions about drain and sewer rooter solutions in Versailles. Contact us at your convenience with any additional questions.
Why do my drains keep clogging again, even after I use a store-bought drain cleaner?
We don’t recommend store-bought cleaners because chemicals strong enough to clear clogs are potent enough to damage your plumbing. That said, such cleaners can be effective on the main obstruction but not the issues leading to it. A drain pipe, for instance, can have limescale and hardened soap scum accumulation that makes you prone to clogs. Drain-clearing liquids and gels will typically have little to no effect on that buildup.
What does it mean if more than one drain in my house starts backing up at the same time?
Multiple clogged drains in Versailles typically indicate that the blockage is deeper in the system beyond the drains themselves. We can perform a video inspection using high-definition cameras to determine the exact location and nature of the clog. In many of these cases, we’ll recommend hydro jetting the sewer line. That’s where we use a powerful water jet to clear the sewer line and strip accumulation from the inner pipe walls.
When does a slow drain become a sign that I need professional rooter service?
Any slow drainage is a sign that you should schedule a rooter plumber in Versailles. While it could be a temporary obstruction, it likely indicates a more serious underlying problem. There could, for instance, be an accumulation on the drain walls, shrinking the pipe diameter and providing texture. In such cases, you’ll continue experiencing drainage issues, which will worsen with time.
