Our Drain Cleaning Services
Dealing with a drain that won't go down is one of the most frustrating parts of home ownership. As one of the best plumbing companies in Pittsburgh, PA, we have seen it all, and whether you are dealing with a clogged drain, slow drain or simply need a drain cleaning, our plumbers are ready to be dispatched and get to the bottom of your drain issues in your kitchen, basement and even your bathroom.
Clogged Drains
Clogged drains are one of the main issues that we handle here in-house at Steel City. A variety of factors can cause clogs, and we can help alleviate them all. In the kitchen, the most likely culprits are fats, oils, and grease poured down the drain, which will congeal further down the pipe as they cool. In the bathroom, it is most likely related to soap scum or hair being washed down a shower or bathroom sink or flushable wipes being used in the toilet. Once we find the issue, we will use a plumbing snake or a hydro jet to remove the clog and get water moving once and for all.
Clog Cleaning
If you are dealing with a slow drain or partial blockages that come and go, you may need a pipe cleaning to remove a smaller clog. Our plumbers can help eliminate the issue, whether it's a flushable wipe that's accumulating more and more debris or a partial clog caused by bacon grease. With our hydro jet or plumbing snake, we can remove the clog and clean the drain and associated pipe to ensure there is no further build-up.
Slow Drains
Several issues can cause a slow drain, and our plumbers can work with you to find a permanent solution. In the kitchen, slow drains are often due to a partial blockage in the pipe from olive oil or cooking grease poured down the kitchen sink. While in the bathroom, the most common issue causing a slow drain is beard hair that collects in the nooks and crannies of your pipes, slowing drainage of the pipe. Our team can help ease these problems at the source, and instead of pouring down mystery chemicals every few weeks, we can get rid of the issues once and for all.
Foul odors
Are you smelling a foul odor coming from your kitchen or bathroom sink? If you are, you need a drain cleaning to get rid of that smell once and for all. Blockages form over time in your drain system, and as things like hair, skin flakes, and other biological material are washed down the drain, they start to collect and fester. With our powerful tools, we can remove the clog and get water flowing again without the smell!
Grease Buildup
One of the leading causes of pipe blockages in your home plumbing system and sewage lines is fats, oils and grease. Called FOGs in the industry, these materials can cause havoc in plumbing systems as they congeal as they move through the system. Once cooled, they harden and can create a hard-to-deal-with blockage over time. To help avoid these issues, we suggest routine drain cleaning for your kitchen sinks to remove grease buildup before it causes a headache.
Tree Rot Intrusion
Here in PA, we have plenty of trees that love to find water. Whether you have maples, poplars, or even birches on your property, if their roots can penetrate a sewage or water line, they will spread quickly. As part of our drain cleaning services, we can perform a quick camera inspection of your lines to identify any tree root intrusions and take action to remove the roots and prevent future issues with a cure-in-place sleeve or straight pipe replacement, depending on the severity of the damage.
