Drain Clogs

 

 

 

Overall, plumbers probably get more calls for drains clogged in Pasadena, Monrovia and the greater San Gabriel Valley area than any other service. The most common method for unclogging a drain involves inserting a cable in the line. Using a spinning motion, the cable loosens debris and clears the line. Kitchen, bathroom, laundry and sewer lines are normally cleaned in this manner.


 

Hydro-Jetting

The best way to clean drain pipes! Highly pressurized water is shot through a specially designed head which scours the entire pipe, working it's way down the pipe, emulsifying grease, sludge, tree roots and anything in it's path. Without a doubt, hydro-jetting is more effective than cleaning your drain with a cable machine.

Clogged Bathtub & Shower

Assuming The drain pipes were piped properly, bathtubs usually have hair as the main cause of their clogs. Physical removal is best. The regular use of a mesh type strainer can help prevent slow drains and stoppages.


 

Clogged Bathroom Sink

Bathroom sink drains often clog with a combination of toothpaste, hair, soap and hair care products. We are often called out to retrieve rings and jewelry that have fallen down the drain. If this ever happens to you, turn off the water immediately and call North Brothers Plumbing & Rooter to retrieve the jewelry.


Clogged Toilet Drain

Toilet drains are often just overwhelmed with toilet paper, clogged with baby wipes, facial tissue and even an occasional kids toy. We can quickly solve this problem with a special tool designed specifically for toilet clogs.

 

 

Clogged Kitchen Sink

In Pasadena, the most often clogged drain call we get called out for is the kitchen sink. Kitchen sink drain clogs are usually caused by liquid fats, emulsified by warm soapy dishwater and then carried through the drain pipes. As the water cools, it proceeds down the drain and leaves the fatty deposits along the piping. A film of grease forms on the pipe wall and so on. Coffee grounds, egg shells, etc add to this accumulation layer until the drain pipe becomes impassable. Hydro jetting is often the best way to keep this drain open the longest.

 
 

Clogged Sewer Main Drain

Main sewer drains are the largest drain in your home and all other drains from your showers, sinks, tubs and laundry lead and connect to the main sewer drain which connects to the city sewer or a septic tank. In Pasadena your sewer main drain can become clogged from all the debris from the other drains washing into it, a collapsed pipe, an offset pipe or most likely from tree roots seeking a steady and easy source of water from a break in your sewer drains joints. The only way to tell is to insert a sewer & drain video camera into the pipe. If your sewer main clogs up, your toilets, bathtubs and other drains in your home that are on the first floor will begin to backup. This is usually a very dirty and stressful situation for homeowners and it can happen at any time without warning, day or night. If this happens we can be there for 24 hour emergency service to unclog your main drain. We can do an annual drain cleaning with our cable or hydro jetting machine or we can perform a permanent solution with trenchless sewer line replacement of your main drain pipe so that the backup never happens again, and we'll provide you with a 50 year Clog Guarantee.
