Clogged Drains

Clogged drains are a common issue in both residential and commercial properties, leading to slow water drainage, backups, and potential water damage. Advanced Septic and Pumping offers comprehensive solutions for clogged drains, employing professional techniques to clear obstructions and restore proper flow, ensuring your plumbing operates efficiently and effectively.

Cable / Camera Locate

Advanced technology like cable equipment and cameras are indispensable tools in diagnosing and resolving issues within your plumbing system. Advanced Septic and Pumping utilizes these tools to precisely locate clogs and inspect the condition of pipes, allowing for targeted interventions that solve problems quickly without unnecessary disruption or damage to your property.

Cable

Using a cable, also known as a plumber's snake, is a direct method to dislodge blockages in drains and pipes. This flexible tool can navigate through twists and turns in the plumbing to reach and break apart clogs, restoring flow. Advanced Septic and Pumping's skilled technicians expertly handle cable equipment to efficiently clear blockages, minimizing the impact on your daily routine.

Sink Drain

Sink drains are prone to clogs from everyday use, accumulating debris such as food particles, grease, and soap scum. Advanced Septic and Pumping specializes in clearing sink drain clogs, using safe and effective methods to ensure your sink drains freely, preventing backups and maintaining the hygiene of your kitchen or bathroom.

Floor Drain

Floor drains, found in basements, garages, and utility rooms, can become clogged with debris and sediment over time. Keeping these drains clear is essential for preventing water buildup and potential flooding. Advanced Septic and Pumping's floor drain services ensure these essential drainage points remain functional, protecting your property from water damage.

Cable Stool

When toilets become clogged, a cable stool method can be employed to clear the obstruction effectively. This technique involves using specialized equipment to remove blockages directly from the toilet without the need for removal. Advanced Septic and Pumping provides fast and efficient clogged toilet solutions, ensuring your facilities remain operational and hygienic.

Pull Stool and Reset

In some cases, the best approach to addressing a clogged toilet is to pull the stool (toilet) and reset it after clearing the blockage. This method allows for thorough access to the drain and ensures any underlying issues are addressed. Advanced Septic and Pumping's professionals are skilled in performing this task, ensuring a comprehensive solution to your clogged toilet problem.

Camera / Locate

Advanced camera technology is not only useful for identifying clogs but also for inspecting the overall health of your plumbing system. Advanced Septic and Pumping utilizes camera inspections to locate problem areas, assess pipe condition, and plan effective maintenance or repairs, offering a proactive approach to plumbing care.

Jetting Lines

High-pressure water jetting is a powerful method for cleaning and clearing pipes, effectively removing grease, sludge, and other debris that can cause blockages. Advanced Septic and Pumping offers jetting services for residential and commercial clients, providing a thorough clean that restores optimal flow to your plumbing system, preventing future clogs and maintaining the integrity of your pipes.

  • What should I do if my drains are clogging frequently?

    Frequent clogs can indicate a deeper issue within your plumbing system. Advanced Septic and Pumping offers comprehensive solutions for clogged drains, using professional techniques like high-pressure water jetting and cable equipment to clear obstructions and restore proper flow. It's essential to address these issues promptly to prevent backups and potential water damage.

  • How does Advanced Septic and Pumping locate and diagnose clogs in my plumbing?

    We utilize advanced technology, including cable equipment and cameras, to precisely locate clogs and inspect the condition of pipes. This approach allows for targeted interventions, solving plumbing problems efficiently without unnecessary disruption or damage to your property. Our diagnostic tools help us identify the exact location and cause of the blockage, ensuring effective resolution.

  • Can you explain the difference between cable and jetting techniques for clearing drains?

    Cable, or plumber's snake, is a direct method used to dislodge blockages within drains and pipes by physically breaking apart the clog. Jetting, on the other hand, uses high-pressure water streams to clean and clear pipes, effectively removing grease, sludge, and debris. While cable is suited for removing solid blockages, jetting is ideal for thorough cleaning and removing buildup that can cause future clogs.

  • What maintenance can I perform to prevent sink and floor drain clogs?

    To prevent sink drain clogs, avoid disposing of grease, food particles, and non-biodegradable materials down the drain. Regularly using a mixture of hot water, baking soda, and vinegar can help maintain clear pipes. For floor drains, keep the area clear of debris and occasionally flush with water to prevent sediment buildup. Advanced Septic and Pumping also recommends professional inspection and cleaning to address and prevent deep clogs.

  • How does pulling and resetting a toilet help with clogs, and when is this method used?

    Pulling and resetting a toilet is used when clogs are deep or difficult to reach with standard methods. This process involves removing the toilet to access the drain directly, allowing for the removal of blockages and addressing any underlying issues. Advanced Septic and Pumping employs this method for comprehensive clog resolution, ensuring the toilet and plumbing system function efficiently and hygienically.
