Types of Drain Cleaning

Drain cleaning can be very simple if professionally done, and often requires little more than a few hours to work. While there are a few methods for cleaning drains out there, we primarily just use the following two.

Drain Snaking

Before hydro jetting, drain snaking was the go-to for small to medium clogs. A flexible metal line with a corkscrew tip breaks up debris and clears blockages effectively.

Hydro Jetting

High-powered water jets clear clogs and clean pipes effectively. We inspect your plumbing first to ensure it’s safe for the process, offering alternatives for older pipes.

Sewer Line Repair

We use sewer scope cameras to assess issues and offer in-house excavation for seamless, affordable sewer line repairs or replacements. Call Hahn Plumbing today for expert solutions!

Conventional Sewer Line Repair

When hydro jetting and drain snaking fail to resolve severe sewer line blockages, traditional repair methods become necessary. The standard method of sewer line replacement requires digging down to the sewer lines, cutting out broken or tattered lengths of pipe, and replacing them. In many cases, conventional sewer line replacement requires removing existing concrete or area and excavating a front, back or side yard, since the plumber must get to the physical pipe. Once there, they replace the pipes with up-to-date piping and materials, ensuring that sewage or wastewater is properly disposed of from the property to the city’s main sewer line.

Many plumbing companies do not offer excavation services or subcontract them out. At Hahn, we have the expertise, proper equipment, and trained professionals to handle any size excavation job, commercial, or residential. This allows us to provide better service at a cost more affordable to our customers.

Any Questions?

Explore answers to frequently asked plumbing questions to help you understand common issues, maintenance tips, and services we offer.

When is it time to replace a sewer line?

You should consider replacing your sewer line if you experience frequent backups, slow drainage, foul odors, or notice wet spots in your yard. Other signs include tree root intrusion, cracks in the pipe, or a complete collapse. If your sewer system is over 50 years old, a professional inspection is recommended to determine its condition.

How often do sewer lines need to be cleaned?

Sewer lines should be cleaned every 18 to 24 months as part of routine maintenance. However, if you experience slow drainage, frequent clogs, or gurgling sounds from your pipes, more frequent cleaning may be necessary. Regular cleaning helps prevent blockages and extends the lifespan of your plumbing system.

How do I know if my sewer line and drains need to be cleaned?

Warning signs that your sewer line and drains need cleaning include slow draining sinks and tubs, unpleasant odors, water backing up, or gurgling noises coming from your drains. If multiple drains are affected simultaneously, it may indicate a blockage in the main sewer line, requiring immediate attention.

How often should I have my drains cleaned?

It’s recommended to have your drains professionally cleaned at least once a year to prevent buildup and clogs. If your household experiences frequent drain issues due to grease, soap scum, or hair accumulation, more frequent cleanings may be necessary. Regular maintenance helps avoid costly repairs and keeps your plumbing system in top shape.
