When Do Drains Need Clearing?

Drain problems present themselves through a variety of symptoms which may include slow draining, complete drain stoppage, and terrible smells. 

Signs that your drains need to be cleared include:

  • Slow drainage of water in sinks, tubs, or showers
  • Bad odors emitting from drains
  • Loud gurgling noises
  • The need for frequent liquid drain treatments

Northern Ben Franklin Gives You Options

Not all clogs are the same. Some are simple and caused by items like oils, hairs, food, and other items that commonly fall into drains. Other drain clogs are more complex because they’re caused by natural forces like the roots of a tree growing through your drain pipe. That causes a blockage, and a terrible situation for you and your home.

The following can cause drain clogs:

  • Roots
  • Ground settling
  • Foreign objects
  • Drainpipe collapses
  • Erosion
  • Misaligned drain pipe sections

Rooter Service

This method of unclogging drains is commonly referred to as “snaking.” A rooter uses a cable to navigate the pathways of a drainpipe and clear them. Snaking is useful because it allows us to clear the pipes without having to dig them out of the ground.

Hydro Jetting

Hydro jetting is useful for severe clogs that require force for clearing. When debris causes a stubborn clog, specialized equipment is used by one of our Northern Ben Franklin plumbers to force water down the pipe. The force of this water breaks up stubborn clogs that a rooter might not be able to reach.

Bio-Ben

Not all drain clogs require specialized equipment. Our Bio-Ben septic product is based on biotechnology. It introduces microorganisms into your drain pipe, which eat away at clogs. It’s easy to use, safe, and takes only minutes to work.
