Drain Cleaning FAQs

How much should it cost to unclog a drain near Atlanta?

The cost to unclog a drain near Atlanta is around $250 on average. However, depending on the type of clog, it could cost more or less. For instance, some clogs can be cleared for only $99. When water starts backing up and Drano doesn't work, it’s time to call a licensed plumber to resolve the problem.

Can plunging make a clog worse?

Yes, that is possible. However, it's completely avoidable if you use the plunger as intended and do not rely on brute force. Here is the method we recommend for the best results. Try creating an air seal around your bowl and slowly push down on the plunger before pulling back. The suction created by that motion will pull out any pieces that are stuck (as long as they aren't too deep) without making the clog worse.

How often should drains be cleaned near Atlanta?

Drains should be cleaned at least once every 2 years. However, you should pay attention to your drains all year and look for any changes in your drainage system. We recommend maintenance to keep them clean and avoid potential problems in the future.

Signs drain cleaning is needed:

  • Standing water in the shower or tub
  • Frequently clogged toilets
  • Multiple clogged drains
  • Slow-draining sinks, toilets, tubs, or showers
  • Leaks around the base of the toilet
  • Drains that make bubbling/gurgling sounds
  • Sewage spilling out of outdoor cleanout(s)

Slow-draining sinks, toilets that keep clogging, and standing water in tubs are some of the most common indicators that your drains may need to be professionally cleaned. There are also less obvious signs like gurgling noises and plumbing leaks. If you are wondering if you need to schedule a drain or sewer cleaning service, our team of plumbers is happy to look over your project and make recommendations.

What causes drains to back up?

A drain backup can be caused by several issues in your home, including grease, waste, waste paper, and food, to name a few. However, incorrect installation of your drainage system and other factors, including the drain material itself, house settling, age, damage, or other environmental factors can create backups.

Should I use a liquid drain cleaner first?

Chemical solvents are not recommended by most professionals for a number of reasons. The biggest reason is that they simply don’t work. They can also be dangerous to the homeowner, and later the plumber who will inevitably be called to clear the drain. Many people who want to avoid the use of a toxic drain cleaner will try a DIY natural drain cleaner made from baking soda and vinegar. While there is no harm in trying this method it usually only adds to the build-up and waits to be cleared with the initial clog.


Sewer Cleaning

When your main sewer backs up, the changes will be noticeable. You could notice sewer smells in your home, slow-flushing toilets, water backing up into tubs and showers, overflows from smaller fixtures when laundry loads are run, etc. You may even notice water seeping out from below toilets and sewer back up in your basement. No matter how you notice the sewer backup, it is something you’ll want to have addressed quickly for the safety and comfort of your family.

Are there times when a sewer cleaning doesn’t solve the problem?

On rare occasions, the blockage is severe enough that conventional drain cleaning equipment and even water jetting service can’t break through. Usually, this occurs when the sewer line is completely broken between the house and the street. In such cases, TE Certified will inspect your system with sewer camera technology and locate the issue so a permanent sewer line repair can be made.
