  • Corrosive cleaners and toxic chemicals may seem like the only effective drain cleaning and maintenance option, but they’re not! In fact, while they can clean away buildup, they may also damage your pipes over time.

  • Mr. Rooter Plumbing takes a different approach to residential drain cleaning. We use high-pressure water known as HydroScrub® Jetting and pair it with environmentally-friendly enzymes, Enzymatic Drain Care™.

  • Our enzymatic treatment option is powered by plant-derived bacteria rather than harsh chemicals. It effectively consumes hair proteins, grease, oil, and fats to break down clogs in your pipes and keep them clean long-term!

    Best of all, our cultures are safe for your pipes and family and only target the buildup in your pipes. You can enjoy a fresh-smelling and functioning plumbing system once more!

These codes and their parameters are in place because a failure to properly install and repair plumbing structures can result in serious damage — not only to the home itself, but potentially even to other homes nearby, to city property, or the local environment.

Drain Cleaning FAQs

It’s okay to have questions about how to clean residential drains. After all, many homeowners don’t know much about their home plumbing systems until something goes wrong. Rest assured, we’ve answered some of the more common questions about residential drain cleaning below. If you have others, contact Mr. Rooter Plumbing for more information.

  • You don’t have to wait until you have a clog before cleaning your drains. In fact, frequently cleaning your drains will help prevent them! You may even reduce the risk of related plumbing issues.

    Most drain clogs form slowly over time, meaning that regular drain cleaning can flush out anything that has the potential to become a clog. You may take the same approach for clog prevention as you do for when you have a clog:

    Plunging

    If you own a plunger, you can use it to push debris out of your drains. Plungers work by forcing water into the drain at a higher-than-usual pressure. They can clear clogs and break up grime.

    Snaking

    While most people only use drain snakes for severe clogs, you may use them to clean residential drains. Drain snakes can break up debris, pull out debris like food and hair from pipes, and scrape the sides of pipes clean. However, you must take care with a drain snake to prevent damage.

    Baking Soda and Vinegar

    Two household pantry staples can be an effective drain cleaning solution: baking soda and vinegar. Periodically, pour one part of baking soda down your drain, followed by four parts of distilled white vinegar. Cover the drain with a drain stopper or plate, and let the fizzing reaction clean your pipes and break up potential clogs. The baking soda and vinegar reaction may also kill bacteria, resulting in a cleaner-smelling drain!

    Boiling Water

    If you’re concerned about fat in your pipes, pour boiling water down your drain. It can be an easy way to clean your drains and take care of fat-based grime.
