DRAIN CLEARING Services
Clogged drains and backed-up sewer lines can cause major headaches for homeowners. Luckily, the team at Fenwick Home Services is here for all your drain cleaning and plumbing needs. Our team is trained in all the latest drain clearing plumbing technologies including video pipe inspection and power rodding, both of which allow us to locate and resolve your drainage issue quickly and efficiently. Our team offers drain cleaning services to homes in Jacksonville and other areas of Florida.
Video Pipe Inspection Services
With sewer pipes residing under layers of dirt and concrete, finding and diagnosing a sewer issue used to require large amounts of digging and displacing of sidewalks and driveways. Recent advances in technology have made the process much easier. We are a drain cleaning company that offers video pipe inspection services, Our team can find, diagnose and repair most sewer line issues without digging up your lawn or driveway.
Using a flexible fiberoptic scope inserted into the manhole, drain, inlet or vault, a technician is able to locate the drain cleaning plumbing issue via a live video feed. These scopes are also fitted with transmitters, allowing technicians to pinpoint the exact location of where the repair is needed above ground.
Highly useful, video pipe inspections can be utilized to find:
- Holes and leaks
- Clogs
- Corrosion or breaks
- Root damage
- Weak points in the system
Power Rodding Drain Cleaning Services
If you find yourself with a clogged drain or backed up sewer line, the technicians at Fenwick Home Services offer power rodding drain cleaning services in Jacksonville and other areas of Florida. When power rodding, our plumbers attach a cleaning tool to the end of a flexible metal cable. This cable is then snaked through the drain until it finds the clog. Once the clog is located, a motor rapidly spins the cleaning tool, breaking up the clog and eliminating the drain cleaning plumbing issue.
Items That Should Not Go Down the Drain
Many of us have put the occasional eggshell down the garbage disposal, or flushed a paper towel down the toilet after cleaning. While innocent enough, putting the wrong things down your drainage system can lead to major headaches down the road. Eventually, these small mishaps can lead to big drain cleaning plumbing issues – and plumbing bills! To avoid a service call, refrain from putting the following down your home drainage system:
Kitty Litter
Even if it has “flushable” in the name, putting kitty litter down the drain is not advised. Kitty litter can cause clogging and the transmission of bacteria that can infiltrate the water supply. Our team offers drain cleaning services to homes in Jacksonville, Florida.
Coffee Grounds
Seemingly small enough, coffee grounds still have the ability to stick to and clog up your pipes. Most plumbers would say coffee grounds are one of the most likely reasons a kitchen drain is clogged.
Eggshells
When eggshells are ground up by your garbage disposal, the tiny pieces left behind can become trapped in fats and oils that have also made their way down your drainage system. If the sink in your kitchen is clogged from eggshells, schedule an appointment with our team. Our professional plumbers provide affordable and trustworthy drain cleaning services in Jacksonville, Florida and other locations.
Grease, Fats & Oils
As mentioned above, these three substances act as binding agents, wreaking havoc on drainage systems. When small pieces of food and other particles become stuck in globs of these substances, they form clogs that are tough to break up and remove. The team at our professional plumbing and drain cleaning company will help you unclog the drain in your kitchen or bathroom. Schedule an appointment to receive help with a drain issue.
Produce Stickers
Not only can produce stickers become stuck to the inside of your home’s drainage system, but they can also cause problems at water treatment facilities, clogging up their system. When removing these stickers, it’s best to throw them in the garbage, not down the drain.
Cotton Balls
Thick, super absorbent and a magnet for clogs, cotton balls should only be disposed of in the trash can, not down your pipes.
Paper Towels/”Flushable” Wipes
Along the same lines as cotton balls, thick sheets of paper towel or so-called “flushable” wipes can quickly cause clogs and drain backups. Even one paper towel or wipe can cause a drain cleaning plumbing issue that will need to be repaired by a certified drain cleaning company.
Medication
Medication may not clog drains, but it does end up in our water supply. Avoid sending your medications down the drain and into our drinking water by dropping off unused medications at a local safe drug take-back location.
Feminine Hygiene Products
All feminine hygiene products should be disposed of in the trash can to avoid drain cleaning plumbing problems. These products do not dissolve in water and can easily clog your drainage system, causing a big plumbing bill if removal is needed.
