What can be done to prevent a clogged drain?

Use a separate container for grease and avoid putting wipes and other items not meant to be flushed down your drains to prevent clogs. Routine cleanings can also be beneficial for this purpose.

Is DIY drain cleaning safe?

Other than putting a mix of vinegar or baking soda and water into your drains now and then, DIY drain cleaning is best avoided. This is especially true with drain cleaning products, which can be corrosive if over-used.

How often should routine drain cleanings be done?

A good rule of thumb is to have your drains cleaned for preventative purposes at least once a year. Some homeowners prefer to do this in the fall when more time is spent indoors and drains are used more often.

Our Process: Drain Cleaning That Works, Every Time

At Optimal Plumbing Solutions, we come equipped for whatever your drains throw our way. We start with a detailed inspection—often with a drain camera—to identify the cause and location of the blockage. Depending on the severity, we’ll use either a professional-grade drain snake or high-pressure hydro jetting to safely and thoroughly clear your lines. We always clean up after ourselves and leave your space better than we found it. It’s just how we do things—clean work, clear drains, and zero headaches.

FAQs

For most homes, once a year is a good rule of thumb. If you experience frequent clogs, more frequent service may be recommended.

Trained technicians know how to adjust the water pressure and flow to safely clean pipes without causing damage. Still, they will assess the condition of the pipes first to confirm that there are no pre-existing issues or weaknesses that could be worsened by the hydro jetting process.

As a homeowner, it’s important to be mindful of what goes down your drains. Avoid pouring grease or oil down the kitchen sink, as it can solidify and create clogs. Also, use drain catchers in your shower and bathroom sinks to catch hair and other debris. Regularly flushing hot water and vinegar down your drains can also help.
