How a Plumber Unclogs Drains

A clogged drain here and there is normal, but when clogs become frequent, you know something’s not right. Frequent clogs may be a sign that drain or sewer pipes need to be replaced. The first step in solving your plumbing issues is to assess the lines.

Using camera inspection tools, our plumbers search inside drain and sewer piping to find the issue as well as its location. Our search findings are always presented to the homeowner, as well as recommendations on how the issue should be treated. No matter what repair or replacement needs your sewer inspection turns up, our licensed plumbers are fully capable of performing the task quickly and efficiently.

Sometimes, the only repair needed to unclog a drain is drain clearing. The clog is located, and plumbing tools are used to bust up materials and products forming the clog. When clogs form in sewer lines due to damaged piping, repairs or replacement is needed to prevent drainage backups – this can be done using our non-invasive trenchless pipe bursting process.

Get to the bottom of the drainage issues plaguing your Central Indiana home – call Mr. Plumber for service and a sewer line inspection today. We are here to help you restore your sewers and drains.

Drains and Sewers in Central Indiana Homes

Sewers and drains are not the same, but they are both components of the drainage portion of a home’s plumbing system. Drains and sewers are meant for the collection and removal of wastewater and other water from the home and property. The home’s sewer systems are connected to municipal sanitary sewer systems that take wastewater to a local sewage treatment plant for processing, or storm drains send stormwater to storm sewers that carry runoff back to natural bodies of water.

  • A plumbing fixture’s drain allows wastewater to flow into the fixture’s dedicated drain line.
  • These lines run from each fixture and area of the home, connecting to a main drain pipe that runs throughout the residence.
  • At the home’s exterior, sewers are attached to drain pipes. Sometimes called a lateral drain, dedicated sewers carry wastewater from homes to a shared sanitary sewer.
  • Sanitary sewers send wastewater and human waste to nearby treatment facilities.
  • Separate from sanitary sewers are storm sewers. A storm drain catches stormwater and snow melts. Gutter drains, floor storm drains, and trench drains are different types of storm drains that may be installed on a residential property.
  • Storm drains flow into a storm sewer that is connected to the storm sewer systems of area homes, as well as drains installed on roadway curbs or culverts. Water is carried away from residences and deposited in streams, creeks, or rivers.

Expert Drain and Sewer Tips

A plumber is the first person you call when you find significant sewage or wastewater backup inside the home. When sewer and drain issues appear to be less severe, oftentimes, homeowners may be able to use DIY approaches to correct simple problems such as clogs. Learn what troubleshooting steps to try before you call Mr. Plumber for service. If you are not confident performing these tasks on your own, play it safe and call in the pros.

Is It a Sewer Line Blockage?

Poor drainage and blocked drains can result from clogs in the drain or blockages deeper in sewers. Sewer issues should be left to a plumber, but drain clogs you may be able to correct on your own. Follow these steps to determine if the clog is located in a sewer or drain line.

  • Turn off the home’s water supply using the main shutoff valve. No more water must be flushed through drains if the sewer is blocked.
  • Investigate fixtures in the home for poor drainage. If every fixture seems to be affected, a sewer blockage or clog deep in the main drain line is likely, so call a plumber. If the issue is isolated to one room’s fixtures or a single fixture, the clog is likely shallower in the drain system, so it’s usually safe to plunge the fixture’s drain in an attempt to dislodge the clog.

Clearing out Clogs

If you have determined the location of the clog in a fixture or room’s drain lines, you can try to remove it using these methods:

  • For toilet clogs, use hot water – heat works to break down clogged material. Pour a pot of boiling water into the toilet bowl from waist height. Allow the water to cool in the toilet lines, then flush.
  • For sink clogs, try dish soap to lube up stuck material. Insert a quart of dish soap into the drain entrance and let it sit until you need to use the faucet again – hopefully, the clog will slide through the lines with this water flow.
