drain clearing

Removing pipe blockages

Drain clearing is the process of removing blockages from pipes and plumbing systems to restore proper water flow.

Professional drain clearing uses tools like augers, hydro-jets, or chemical treatments to break up clogs caused by grease, hair, or debris.

We called a plumber for drain clearing after the kitchen sink backed up.
