Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs that my drain needs professional cleaning?
Common signs that your drain may need professional cleaning include slow drainage, recurring clogs, unpleasant odors, water pooling, and gurgling sounds coming from your pipes.
How often should I schedule drain cleaning services?
It’s recommended to schedule drain cleaning at least once a year to prevent clogs and maintain the health of your plumbing system. Regular maintenance can help avoid costly repairs in the future.
What is hydro-jetting and how does it work?
Hydro-jetting is a drain cleaning method that uses high-pressure water to remove blockages and clean the interior of your pipes. It is an effective and non-invasive way to clear tough clogs and restore optimal flow.
Can drain cleaning damage my pipes?
When done by professionals like the team at TYCO Plumbing, drain cleaning is safe and won’t damage your pipes. We use advanced techniques such as hydro-jetting and drain snakes to effectively remove clogs without harming your plumbing system.
What is the cost of professional drain cleaning services?
The cost of drain cleaning varies depending on the severity of the blockage and the method used. At TYCO Plumbing, we offer transparent pricing and provide detailed estimates before starting any work.
How can I prevent future drain clogs?
To prevent future drain clogs, avoid flushing non-degradable items down the drain, use drain covers to catch debris, and schedule regular drain cleaning services. TYCO Plumbing offers preventive maintenance to keep your drains in top condition.
What’s the difference between a drain snake and hydro-jetting?
A drain snake is a tool that physically breaks up clogs, while hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to completely clear pipes and clean their interiors. Hydro-jetting is generally more thorough and is ideal for tougher clogs.
Why do my drains smell bad?
Foul odors coming from your drains may indicate a buildup of organic material, such as food waste or grease, causing a blockage. Professional drain cleaning can eliminate these odors by thoroughly clearing the blockage.
