Why You Need a Professional for Drain Cleaning Services
While it can be tempting to try to resolve drainage issues yourself, amateur attempts can often exacerbate the problem.
Over-the-counter drain cleaners can harm your pipes, and without the right training and tools, it’s easy to get in over your head.
Hiring a professional not only ensures the job is done right the first time but also helps prevent future clogs and other issues.

The Impact of Regular Drain Cleaning on Your Plumbing Health

Regular cleaning helps to prevent these issues, keeping your drains flowing smoothly and extending the life of your pipes.
Additionally, regular drain cleaning can help you spot potential issues before they become major problems.
During the cleaning process, our technicians will inspect your pipes for signs of damage or wear, allowing for timely repairs and preventing costly future breakdowns.

The Dangers of DIY Drain Cleaning
While it might be tempting to try and resolve a clogged drain yourself, DIY methods can often do more harm than good.
Many over-the-counter drain cleaning products are harsh and can damage your pipes, while DIY methods can often only provide a temporary fix and fail to address the root cause of the problem.
In contrast, professional drain cleaning services from Bert Norman’s Plumbing are designed to not only resolve the immediate issue but also prevent future problems.
Our experienced technicians use safe and effective methods that protect the integrity of your plumbing system.

Common Signs Your Drain Needs Cleaning
Understanding when your drain needs cleaning is key to maintaining the health of your plumbing system. Spotting the early signs of a drain issue can prevent a minor problem from escalating into a major inconvenience.
Here are some common signs that your drain might need a professional cleaning:
- Slow Drains: This is often the first sign of a problem. If water is taking longer than usual to drain from your sink, shower, or tub, it could be due to a partial blockage that is slowing down the flow of water.
- Frequent Clogs: If you regularly reach for a plunger, it might be a sign of a more significant issue. Persistent clogs can indicate a blockage deeper in your plumbing system that requires professional attention.
- Unpleasant Odors: Foul odors emanating from your drain are a clear sign of a problem. This could be due to food or other debris decaying in your pipes, or it could indicate a sewer issue.
- Gurgling Noises: Unusual sounds coming from your drain, like gurgling or bubbling, can suggest a clog is forming. The noise is caused by air trapped in your pipes by the blockage.
- Water Backing Up: If water comes back up out of your drains, it’s a sure sign of a clog. In severe cases, this can lead to flooding, which can cause serious damage to your home.
- Changes in Flush Power: If your toilet isn’t flushing with its usual strength, it may be a sign that your sewer line is developing a blockage.
- Presence of Fruit Flies or Drain Flies: These pests are attracted to the organic material found in clogged drains. If you notice an increase in these insects in your home, it might be due to a drain issue.
- Frequent Need to Refill Traps: If you find that you regularly need to refill the water in your drain traps, it could be because a clog is allowing water to drain out from the trap.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s crucial to act quickly. Ignoring the issue won’t make it disappear; instead, it could worsen over time, leading to more significant problems and potentially expensive repairs.
Don’t hesitate to contact the professionals at Bert Norman’s Plumbing for an expert assessment and thorough drain cleaning services.

How Our Drain Cleaning Process Works
Our drain cleaning process begins with an initial assessment to determine the cause and location of the blockage. This often involves video inspection tools, which provide a real-time view of the inside of your drains and allow us to accurately diagnose the problem.
Once we’ve identified the issue, we’ll select the most effective method for dealing with it. This could involve drain snakes to break up minor clogs or hydro jetting for more serious blockages.
In the case of grease clogs, our technicians use a special method that transforms the grease into CO2 and water, ensuring it’s completely removed from your drain line.
Throughout the process, we’ll keep you informed of what we’re doing and why, ensuring you understand the work and how it will benefit your plumbing system.
