The kitchen sink
Bacon fat, coffee grounds and scraps of food collect in the trap below a kitchen sink and in the branch pipe hidden behind the cabinet back, until the basin holds water after every rinse.
Drain Cleaning in Cleveland
Water sitting in a tub, a kitchen sink that empties slowly, a basement drain that gurgles whenever the washer runs. Call us and we connect you with a plumber for the clog.
We arrange drain cleaning for houses, doubles and apartment buildings throughout Cleveland, from a single slow sink to the main line.
Where the clog is
Bathroom sinks, tubs and showers
When a bathroom sink, tub or shower drains slowly, call us and the plumber you hire clears the blockage from the line.
Basement floor drains and laundry tubs
A floor drain or laundry tub sits low in the house, so it can be the first place water shows up when the line further down is slow.
The main line out of the house
If the basement floor drain fills while toilets upstairs gurgle, or several fixtures back up together, the blockage sits in the line leaving the house for the street. In Cleveland, power-assisted cleaning of that sewer needs a city permit.
The permit for machine sewer cleaning
Cleveland requires a plumbing permit for power-assisted sewer cleaning, under the same permit rule that covers corrections to code violations.
Your side of the blockage or the city’s
With the owner’s permission, the city’s Division of Water Pollution Control may snake a sewer connection from a test tee to find where a blockage is. Its location decides who fixes it.
A blockage in the main, or between the main and a point one foot beyond the curb line, is repaired by the city. Between the building and that point, the division advises the owner to hire a licensed and bonded sewer builder.
Keep grease out of the drain
Cleveland’s sewer-use rules bar waste that carries fats, wax, grease or oils above 100 milligrams per liter. At home, scraping pans into the trash keeps that grease out of your own pipes as well.
When the same main line blocks again a month later, roots or a broken pipe may be behind it, and sewer line repair is the next step. For taps and toilets see fixture repair; the home page has every service.
