Drain Cleaning in Pueblo, CO

Kitchen clogs

Grease, coffee grounds and starchy food scraps are the main causes. They build up slowly until water stands in the sink. A plumber clears the line with a cable or water jet that removes the buildup instead of just poking a hole through it.

Bathroom drains

Hair, soap and toothpaste collect just below the stopper and in the trap. Pulling and cleaning the stopper solves many slow sinks. If that doesn't work, a small cable clears the line without harming the pipe.

Laundry and utility sinks

Washing machines move a lot of water fast, and lint collects in the standpipe and the line behind it. A lint trap on the washer's drain hose is a cheap way to keep the line clear.

Main line problems

Roots in old clay or cast iron, a sag in the line or a blockage near the street all slow every drain in the house. If the lowest drain backs up when a toilet flushes, the main line is the likely cause.

Camera inspections

After clearing a stubborn or repeat clog, a camera shows what caused it. Roots, cracks and bellies in the pipe all show up clearly, and the plumber can measure where they are before any digging.

Preventing clogs

Keep grease out of the drain, use strainers in sinks and showers, and only flush toilet paper. Send a request and a plumber will get in touch.

Older neighborhoods

Homes near downtown Pueblo and in older parts of the city often have cast iron or clay drains that are many decades old. Scale builds up inside cast iron, and roots find clay joints. Regular clogs in these homes are often a sign the line itself needs work.
