If your kitchen or bathroom sink is draining slower than it used to, don't wait until it's completely backed up. A slow drain usually means buildup is already narrowing the pipe, and it only gets worse from there.
The fix? We use a drain auger (also called a snake) to clear the blockage at the source, not just push it further down. Chemical drain cleaners can eat away at older pipes and only work temporarily. A proper cleaning removes hair, soap scum, grease, and debris without damaging your plumbing.
Catching it early means you avoid standing water, foul odors, and an emergency call when the drain stops working altogether. Want us to take a look? Give us a call at 210-902-8950.
