Drain Cleaning

& Hydro Jetting

Clogged drains are a common issue in both older Memphis homes and commercial buildings. Over time, grease, soap residue, food waste, and debris can build up inside pipes, slowing drainage and eventually causing backups. Professional drain cleaning helps restore proper flow and reduces the risk of recurring problems.

What Causes Drains to Clog?

Most drain issues develop gradually. Common causes include:

  • Grease and oil buildup in kitchen lines

  • Soap residue and hair in bathroom drains

  • Food particles and debris

  • Tree roots entering sewer lines

  • Aging or improperly sloped pipes

 

In many Memphis neighborhoods, older plumbing systems make these issues more common.

What Is Hydro Jetting?

Hydro jetting is a drain cleaning method that uses high-pressure water to clean the entire inside of a pipe. Unlike snaking, which punches through a clog, hydro jetting removes buildup along the pipe walls.

 

Hydro jetting is often used for:

  • Recurring clogs

  • Grease-heavy commercial lines

  • Sewer lines with heavy buildup

 

Not every drain needs hydro jetting—we help determine the right approach based on the condition of your pipes.

How Drain Cleaning Is Typically Done

Before cleaning, we evaluate the issue to determine what’s causing the blockage. In some cases, a camera inspection may be recommended to check for damage, roots, or collapsed sections.

From there, the appropriate cleaning method is used to safely clear the line and restore normal drainage.

What Happens If Drain Problems Are Ignored?

Minor clogs often worsen over time. Left unaddressed, they can lead to:

  • Frequent backups

  • Slow drainage throughout the home or building

  • Sewer odors

  • Water damage from overflows

Addressing issues early is usually simpler and less disruptive.

When It’s Time to Call a Plumber

You may want professional help if you notice:

  • Multiple drains backing up
