Common Drain Problems We Solve

Residential and commercial drain problems can cause stress, property damage, and even health issues. If not addressed immediately, clogged drains can lead to mold, unnecessary structural damage, and other negative consequences. Unfortunately, drain problems such as plumbing clogs and damaged pipes are fairly common—especially when a plumbing system is misused and poorly maintained. Here are the most common drain problems we solve in the San Diego area. 

• Plumbing clogs and blockages
• Slow drains 
• Damaged drain pipes

Professional Drain Cleaning Process

Clearing or repairing a drain without causing further damage is a job that requires professional training, the proper tools, and a proven strategy. Bill Howe’s service professionals exceed those prerequisites and are dedicated to going above and beyond to fix your plumbing problem. Our field-proven approach to drain cleaning and plumbing services is based on industry standards and decades of experience that ensure your drains are in peak condition. 

Diagnose the Drain Problem

Your expert plumber begins with diagnostics. They note the symptoms encountered, such as occasional backups, multiple slow-moving drains, offensive odors, and other related experiences. The plumber then performs a visual inspection of the drain openings, followed by running water down the drain to help determine the degree and location of the clog.

If needed, your plumber will use a waterproof camera to perform a more in-depth inspection. A video camera inspection is a comprehensive view of your drainage system and can reveal deep clogs, cracks, buildup, and root invasion. While many drain clogs respond well to augering, the latest inspection technology is indispensable for more major obstructions. 

Perform the Drain Repair

After gathering the necessary information, your San Diego plumbing expert determines the ideal drain pipe repair approach. Information about the severity, location, and cause of the clog help our plumbers select the best repair method, such as snaking, hydro jetting, or another proven drain-clearing solution. The plumber then relies on specialized tools and professional expertise to clear your drain without damaging the drainage line further. 

Some drain repairs may require more advanced methods, such as patching, installing new sections, replacing fittings, or relining pipes. These methods are necessary for extensive damage or blockages in pipes beneath the ground. Regardless of the severity and location, you can count on Bill Howe for guaranteed results.

Test the Repairs

Once the proper repairs are complete, your plumber performs the final, and maybe most important, step—testing the repairs. Testing begins with a thorough flush to ensure the line is clear of debris. After the drain line is flowing cleanly, your plumber again turns to a camera inspection to verify complete debris removal. Finally, the plumber runs faucets to ensure proper drainage and checks for leaks or other issues. 

A professional sewer and drain cleaning service not only offers damage control in the short term, but it also offers clean, unobstructed drains that will perform effectively and efficiently for years.
