FAQs About Your Home Drainage System

One of the most important yet overlooked systems in your home is the drainage system. Without a fully functional plumbing and drainage system in your home, even the simplest tasks like brushing your teeth or getting into a warm shower are significantly more difficult. Thankfully, our team is skilled at a wide variety of tasks to ensure your home is running at peak performance.

Q: How Often Does My Sewer Need to Be Cleaned?

A: Don’t panic if you didn’t realize that your sewer needs to be cleaned on a regular basis! Our team recommends that you have your sewer professionally cleaned at least once per year. This cleaning can help minimize any build-up in your lines and prevent further problems from developing.

Q: Why is It Taking My Toilet So Long to Drain?

A: In the case that your toilet isn’t properly draining, there may be some sort of blockage causing the issue. Something as seemingly harmless like flushing a makeup wipe or one too many cotton balls can cause an unexpected backup. Regardless of the cause, we will find a solution!

Q: What Do Gurgling or Bubbling Noises Mean?

A: Many customers call us concerned about gurgling or bubbling noises coming from their sewer line or drains. This is typically the result of a blockage of some sort, which impacts how quickly the water flows through your pipes. The noises are the result of water disruption. We recommend a professional cleaning to combat this issue.
