Drain Cleaning: Key Takeaways
- Pouring harsh over-the-counter chemicals down a standing backup can corrode your piping over time. For tough blockages in bathroom, kitchen, or floor drains, PDM utilizes professional cable machines (drain snakes) designed specifically for the size and location of the clog to safely restore normal flow.
- If you have large trees on your Joliet property, root growth can quietly invade underground sewer pipes and cause major structural backups. Scheduling a camera inspection every few years allows technicians to snake a video line through the pipes, catching hidden root blockages before they rupture the line.
- Keep your drains clear by disposing of cooking grease in the trash rather than the sink, utilizing mesh screens to catch hair in the shower, and avoiding flushing any "flushable" wipes, which do not break down like standard toilet paper.
“Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.”

Schedule periodic drain cleanings to keep water flowing in your sinks, toilet, and shower. Consider inspecting your sewer line every few years, especially if large trees grow on your property. We can identify emerging problems, such as root growth, by snaking a camera through the sewer line.

Maintenance You Can Do at Home
We recommend leaving drain and sewer line cleaning and flushing to professionals, like our experts at PDM. However, you can help keep your plumbing in top shape by treating it with a little TLC.
Here are some ways you can avoid clogging your drains and sewer line:
- Throw only toilet paper into your toilet. Do not flush other products, even those described as flushable.
- Dispose of oil or grease in the trash, not down your sink drain. After leftover cooking oil cools slightly, pour it into a disposable container to harden before tossing it into the garbage.
- Use a drain screen to catch hair before it goes down the shower drain. Attach a metal mesh lint catcher to your washing machine's discharge hose. Consider placing a drain screen or lint trap in the laundry sink drain hole.
- Pour enzyme-based drain cleaners into your plumbing system periodically to keep clogs from forming. These drain cleaners work best as a preventative measure and remove only organic materials. They are easier on your pipes than chemical drain cleaners.
