Ventura Drain Cleaning

Professional Drain Cleaning Services in Ventura County

Naturally over time, drains become clogged due to a build-up of sludge and debris until they’re eventually stopped up and blocked completely. This is caused by a variety of factors such as: soaps, hair, cooking grease, undissolved food particles like rice (which expands in water), and more. Before you know it, you’ve got a stubborn, gunky clog that requires drain cleaning and clearing from your local plumbing professional.

What Causes A Clogged Drain?

More often than not, tree roots grow into sewer lines due to cracks or shifts in the original sewer main pipes. Also, kitchen drains may clog due to food or oils and grease congealing in the drains. One daily tip we recommend for preventing build-up is clearing your plate of food into the trash before rinsing it off into the kitchen sink. Additionally, when using your garbage disposal, run the water for an extra minute or so to help wash off excess food debris.

Another major culprit of clogged drains in households is hair. When you shower, hair winds up in the drain, and that can create clogs that span several feet within your pipes.
