Reliable Orange County drain cleaning services are always available from us here at Evans Plumbing Inc.. Whether you’re a homeowner, business owner, or the person responsible for any kind of property, clogged drains and sewer lines are probably the most common plumbing problems you suffer. Bad plumbing doesn’t know or care if you own a $200,000 house or $20 million public building, clogged drains, and backed-up sewer lines can run the gamut from being annoying to being dangerous.

How do you know if your drains are clogged? Look for these symptoms:

  • Water drains slowly (or doesn’t drain) from the bathroom or kitchen sinks, the tub or washing machine
  • The toilet gurgles when it flushes
  • The toilet backs up into sinks, tub or shower
  • The base of the toilet has water around it

If you’re experiencing these kinds of problems, it’s time to contact us here at Evans Plumbing & Rooter.

What Causes Clogged Drains or Backed-up Sewer Lines?

Just because clogged drains and sewer lines are the most common plumbing problems doesn’t mean they can’t be very costly. And the strange thing is, they are also among the most preventable problems.

Here are some usual causes of clogged drains and sewer line problems. A little care will prevent many of them from occurring.

  • Fats, oils and grease down the drain
  • Coffee grounds, eggshells in the garbage disposal
  • Food scraps down the drain
  • Anything other than toilet paper down the toilet
  • Invasive tree roots penetrating pipes or sewer lines

Evans Plumbing has high definition cameras on each truck and trained, skilled technicians who know how to use them. A camera inspection on your drains or sewer lines tells the technician where the problem is in the system without using invasive techniques that sometimes cause more damage to the pipes. If work is necessary—a simple cleaning or something more—we will give you an upfront estimate and usually take care of the problem that same day.

Orange County Drain Cleaning Through a Non-Evasive Pushrod Technique

For clearing simple, soft stoppages. We use this method when a backed-up sewer or drain line is caused by using too much paper, paper towels, diapers, cleaning, clothes. This gentler way to clean the lines is especially helpful in older homes with brittle, rusted, and corroded drain and sewer lines. We have the option of inspecting the line at the same time with our combination rodder camera set up.

Rooter Service in Orange County Using a Power Snake, Cable or Drain Machine

For more difficult stoppages. When the stoppage is tougher, we use new-generation, heavy-duty sewer, and drain cleaning equipment. We use closed drum equipment, which is much safer and doesn’t leave a mess. After the plumbing problem is fixed, the last thing you need to be doing is cleaning up after the plumbers.

High-, Low-, Medium-Pressure Orange County Hydro-Jetting

For use only when the time and place demand it. Evans Plumbing Inc.’s service techs are trained to know when to use hydro-jetting—and most importantly, when not to use it. With the proper attachments and correct pressure, we can effectively remove grease and de-scale sewer and drain lines. Jetting is not always easy to use on older homes, especially when cleaning cast iron, clay, and Orange County sewer and drain lines. For that reason, we always exercise extra caution. We have developed a safer jetting process that includes a camera, allowing us to get the job done right without damaging the existing plumbing.

Our Orange County Drain Cleaning Company Also Offers Heavy Duty Root Removal

For invasive tree roots in your sewer. When tree roots invade the sewer, causing a backup, we have several methods of root removal: expandable mechanical cutters, rotary cutters, chain cutters that work with air pressure, and various types of water-powered cutters. Location of the roots and the extent of the damage dictates which method we use. Trenchless technology methods – for situations when sewer and drain lines are collapsed, broken, or beyond cleaning. In these cases, we have an alternative method of repair. Evans Plumbing has developed several sewers and drain relining methods over the years. We are recognized experts in the field of epoxy pipe restoration.

Remember, recurring drain and sewer line problems several times a year are not the norm. If you experience ongoing sewer and drain problems, we can help.
