Frequently Asked Questions
Can I clear a drain clog myself?
Some Spokane homeowners are comfortable attempting DIY drain cleaning methods when experiencing a slow drain at just one fixture. If you plan to unclog a drain at home, make sure you use safe methods to avoid causing damage to your plumbing pipes.
- Avoid drain cleaning chemicals and store-bought products advertised to break up clogs. These chemicals are often not safe and can break down your pipes.
- Kitchen sink drains, bathroom sink drains, shower drains, and tub drains can be cleared up with natural products in many cases. A cup of baking soda is poured into the drain followed by a cup of vinegar. Cover the drain opening and leave the solution to sit inside the pipes for at least 30 minutes. Turn on hot water and allow it to flow through the drain.
- Many toilet clogs can be broken up with the help of heat and gravity. Pour a pot of boiling hot water into the bowl, holding it at waist height as you pour. Give the water time to cool and then flush – heat can break down the materials and the force of water rushing in can move the material on through the line.
What drain cleaning services do you offer?
- Video Camera Inspection: Using a camera to diagnose your drains is one of the best ways to analyze the problem your home is facing. Giving the technician eyes deep into the pipe allows us to fully understand the unique issue your pipes are facing, and choose the right tool for the job.
- Drain Snake Services: A drain snake is a power way to clear even the toughest of pipe obstructions. With a trained technician at the helm, we can clear any major obstructions in your pipe system, restoring your drains back to their normal flow.
- Water Jetting Services: When brute force doesn’t work, you need a different kind of weapon to fight clogged drains. A high pressure water jet can easily cut through any build-up that is clogging your drain. Again, a highly trained technician is required to properly assess the issue and choose the right tool for the job.
What are signs tree roots might be blocking my sewer pipes?
At some point, tree roots may grow near your sewer line and damage it. You can’t see this happening, but you will begin to notice signs inside your home if your sewer line is broken or damaged in any way. At Mainstream, we can identify where the damage to your sewer line is and take care of all the necessary repairs.
- Slow-moving drains: When water starts to drain much slower than normal from more than just one drain, it may mean that your sewer line is compromised. Tree roots are often a common cause.
- Sewer backups: When sewage starts backing up in your drains, it’s a sign that something is blocking your sewer line. Tree roots can cause sewer lines to collapse and will block the forward flow of sewage.
- Gurgling, noisy pipes: When your sewer line is plugged, air can be trapped in the pipes and start to gurgle as it moves through the lines.
- Unpleasant sewer gas odors: Sewage has a distinctive odor that is quite unpleasant. When you notice sewer gas odors in your home, it’s a good sign that damage has occurred to your sewer line.
- Puddles or wet spots in your yard: When your sewer line breaks, water will leak into your lawn, causing wet spots and puddles to form. This will put even more pressure on the pipe and damage it further.
If you notice signs of tree root infiltration, call Mainstream Electric, Plumbing, Heating and Cooling professionals to schedule service.
Can I just clean my own drain with a chemical solution?
While you can buy drain cleaners at the store, they’re not always the best answer to a clog. Drain cleaners are caustic chemicals designed to break up a clog, but if they fail at that task, they’ll just sit in your pipes causing damage. If you’re unsure whether or not you should use a drain cleaner, give us a call!
How much does it cost to get a drain cleaned?
Here at Mainstream, we offer a special $79 drain cleaning service! Other companies may charge more, but that’s the price we guarantee.
Can plumbers clear out tree roots from sewer lines?
Absolutely, the skilled plumbers at Mainstream Plumbing and Air have an array of effective techniques at their disposal to eliminate tree roots from your sewer lines. They employ mechanical augers, high-pressure water jetting, and chemical root killers to break up, flush out, or hinder the regrowth of tree roots within the sewer pipes. In cases of more extensive root damage, we may recommend excavation or trenchless pipe replacement as a durable solution. Addressing tree root intrusion promptly is crucial to prevent blockages and damage, ensuring the proper functioning of your sewer system. With our repair and replacement services available in the Greater Spokane and Northern Idaho areas, we are here to keep your home’s sewer line in top condition, addressing any issues, big or small, that could impact your home’s safety and hygiene. Our professionals are even available 24/7 for emergencies!
