Professional Drain Cleaning & Septic Services
A simple clog may not stand up to your plunger skills, but what happens when that’s not enough? You may have all the tools and expertise you need for a clog, but sometimes, things aren’t straightforward. Especially when multiple drains are clogged, or the smell of your drains takes over your house.
Unusual Sounds and Smells? Might Be Time for a Drain Cleaning
The purpose of our home plumbing is to take away waste from the house. You’ll recognize straightaway when this isn’t happening. If offensive odors emanate from your drains, you likely have a deeper issue on your hands. Somewhere within your plumbing system is a blockage preventing your home’s waste from leaving your home. At this point, you need professional drain cleaning near Tulsa to clear the blockage.
Your nose isn’t your only indication of plumbing problems. Strange noises from drains, particularly your toilet, may point to a backup in the plumbing. Gurgles are a clear indication that water isn’t able to flow out of your house freely. Call Seay Plumbing and let us assess the causes and implement an eco-friendly solution that leaves your home in tip-top shape.
Residential and Commercial
Drain Cleaning Services
The causes of clogs are as varied as our home plumbing needs. Kitchen sinks, washing machines, and toilets serve distinct functions and have different reasons for clogging. Understanding these causes helps our plumbers select and deploy the proper tool for the plumbing project.
Hydro-Jet
Kitchen and bathroom sinks, shower drains, and washing machine drains are prone to clogging within the pipes. Soap can build up in all these drains until water can’t move efficiently, if at all. In kitchen sinks, grease sticks to the pipe’s interior until it’s completely blocked. Hair is a common cause of a clog in showers and bathroom sinks. Storm drain cleaning is another instance where larger, harder-to-remove debris causes back-ups. And in all these drains, hard water can leave mineral build-up that threatens to halt your home’s plumbing.
When there’s build-up from years of neglect, a hydro-jet is the latest technological innovation our top-rated Athens plumbers use to break your pipes free from debris. We’ll assess the blockage, determine if the pipes can withstand the high pressure of the water, and find the best spots for the hose to enter. After initial assessment, we’ll turn the water on at a specified high pressure to dislodge anything, clear away build-up, and leave the pipes clean and efficient. Call us for a bathroom drain cleaning service for your home or commercial building!
Snaking and Cameras
Before the plumber deploys a hydro-jet, they’ll likely rely on video to determine where to place the hose and what pressure level to use. Our Aspen plumbers use the latest technology to find the source of the issue and determine the best course of action to address it. These tiny snaking cameras pass through your drains and home plumbing system, sending critical data to your plumber.
In some homes, a hydro-jet may be unnecessary or improper. If the pipes are older, there may be a concern that a hydro-jet could cause more harm than good. Or, it may be that a single item has become lodged in the drain.
Mechanical snakes are another invaluable drain-cleaning tool to dislodge a blockage. These snakes can break up hair and other soft clogs to return your pipes to proper performance.

How Often Should I Have My Drains Cleaned?
Ideally, you should have your drains cleaned annually. Over a single year, any number of substances go down your drains and collect along the pipes’ interiors. Soap from showers, sinks, and washers collects and builds up. Kitchen grease sticks to the walls of your pipes even more aggressively than soap. You can expect mineral buildup in your plumbing if you have hard water. Even if you aren’t experiencing clogs, the blockage around the pipes may cause an inefficient system, raising your water bill.
What Should I Avoid Putting Down the Drain?
All plumbing aims to bring waste away from your home, so there’s a natural inclination to put any waste down the drain. The old, out of sight, out of mind. Unfortunately, that’s not true for plumbing, and some substances should never go down any drain.
A drain’s number one enemy is kitchen grease. The fats and oils present in our cooking as liquids seem fine to go down the drain like any other liquid. However, when the grease cools, it solidifies, becoming an immovable blockage in the drain. It’s better to dispose of grease by letting it cool in a disposable container and throwing it in the trash. Your pipes will thank you!
Is DIY Drain Cleaning Safe For My Plumbing System?
In short, no. Products like Drain-O seem like great DIY solutions for clogged drains. But just about any way you slice it, they’re unsafe for anybody, plumbers included.
First, the chemicals in these products are highly toxic. When people notice a clogged drain backing up water in their sink, they may grab the DIY drain cleaners and pour them into the standing water. This only creates a dangerous pool of chemicals in your sink that need proper disposal.
These same toxic chemicals make their way out into the town’s water supply. The water in your house has to flow somewhere, usually to municipal water services. Pouring commercial drain cleaners into your home plumbing starts on a journey into everyone’s water. Not exactly safe.
Also, the reaction the chemicals cause in your pipes could damage them. The chemical reaction generates dangerous amounts of heat that can weaken PVC pipes in your house. That heat can also melt the glue holding pipes together. Avoid creating a bigger problem for yourself by avoiding these products altogether. At Seay, we prefer to use plumbing solutions that are safe for your family and ours.
