Signs a drain needs more than a plunger

See your symptom here? Get matched and a plumber can confirm the cause.

  • Slow draining or gurgling

    Hair, soap and grease are narrowing the pipe.

  • More than one drain backs up

    The clog is in the main line, not one fixture.

  • The same clog keeps coming back

    Roots or a sag in the line keep catching debris.

What clogs Valley drains

Roots and older pipe

Roots enter through cracks in buried lines, and original cast iron and clay pipe roughens and shifts, so clogs return.

Drain cleaning questions

Quick answers before you get matched.

When does a drain need hydro jetting instead of snaking?

Most single clogs clear with a cable. Jetting fits grease buildup, roots or a line that keeps clogging. The plumber decides after seeing the drain.

Can I try a chemical drain cleaner first?

A plunger is fine on one sink or toilet. Skip chemical openers: they can damage pipes and splash back on whoever clears the drain next. Used one? Tell the plumber.

Is a backed-up main line an emergency?

Yes, if sewage is coming up into the house: stop using water and get matched now. One slow drain with nothing backing up can wait.

Does what I pour down the drain matter in Phoenix?

Yes. The City of Phoenix names grease and plant roots as the two main causes of sewer backups. Let cooking grease cool, bin it, and keep trees away from your cleanout.
