Bathroom drains
Sink and tub drains collect hair and soap film. A plumber pulls or flushes out the buildup, then checks the trap below the fixture so water leaves cleanly.
Drain Cleaning in Mount Vernon
When a drain stops carrying water away, the fixture above it turns into a basin. We clear stoppages in kitchen, bathroom and laundry drains and in main lines for Mount Vernon homes.
Call and say which drain it is and what it does. A drain on one fixture is a different job from a stoppage that shows up in several places at once, and the plumber starts from that.
Drains we clear
Kitchen sinks
In a kitchen drain the trouble is fat and food. Grease sets inside the pipe wall, scraps snag on it, and the sink slows to a trickle until the plumber cuts the blockage out and finds the cause.
Laundry and floor drains
A washer that backs up into the standpipe, or a cellar floor drain that holds water, is cleared the same way, with attention to where the line joins the main.
Main line stoppages
A main line stoppage shows in more than one place, with slow drains upstairs and water rising in the lowest fixture. The plumber clears the line and can send a camera through it to check for a break.
Keeping drains clear
Strainers in sinks and tubs catch hair and scraps before they enter the drain. Grease belongs in the trash, not down the kitchen sink, and only toilet paper should go down a toilet.
Frequently asked questions
Is a slow drain worth fixing?
Yes. A slow drain is a partial stoppage, and a plumber can clear it while water still moves, before the line blocks completely.
A stoppage that keeps coming back may be a damaged sewer line, and a leaking fixture may need fixture repair. See sewer line repair and the other services on the home page.
