So if you’re searching for “drain clearing near me” in the Madison Heights area, we’re here to help with fast, reliable service.
YOUR LOCAL EXPERTS FOR SINK, TUB & SHOWER CLOGS
For tough clogs that a plunger can’t fix, we use specialized equipment to get things flowing again. Our drain snaking services in Madison Heights break through blockages caused by hair, soap, and debris lodged deep in the drain line. We work with precision, not chemicals, to safely and effectively clear your pipes without damaging them. We’ll also provide advice to help prevent future clogs and offer recommendations for routine maintenance if needed.
SIGNS YOU MAY HAVE A CLOGGED DRAIN
It’s easy to overlook the early signs of a drain clog—until water stops draining altogether. Here are a few red flags that point to a blocked drain inside your home:
-
Water pooling in sinks, tubs, or showers
-
Gurgling noises when water is draining
-
Foul odors coming from the drains
-
Water backing up in one fixture when using another (like the shower backing up when the washing machine runs)
-
Frequent need to plunge toilets or sinks
​
These symptoms often point to clogged hair, soap scum, grease, or foreign materials—not a main sewer problem, but one that still requires professional attention.
IS THE CLOG IN MY HOME'S PIPES OR IN THE MAIN SEWER?
A common question we get is whether a clog is isolated to a single drain or if it’s part of a larger issue in the main sewer line. One way to tell is by observing where the problem occurs.
If just one sink, tub, or toilet is acting up, the clog is likely local to that specific drain line. On the other hand, if multiple fixtures are backing up at once—especially lower-level drains like a basement shower or floor drain—it may point to a main sewer issue.
Foul odors coming from multiple drains or water backing up when you use appliances like the washing machine are also signs of a main line problem. For isolated clogs, our local drain clearing services and drain snaking in Madison Heights are exactly what you need.
WHAT NOT TO FLUSH DOWN DRAINS
Many common drain issues can be avoided with a few simple preventative habits.
Here’s what our experts recommend keeping out of your drains:
​
Kitchen Sinks:
-
Grease, fats, and oils (they harden and cling to pipes)
-
Eggshells, coffee grounds, and fibrous veggies like celery
-
Pasta and rice (they swell with water and block flow)
​
Bathroom Drains:
-
Hair (use a drain screen to catch it)
-
Excess soap or shampoo buildup
-
"Flushable" wipes – they may say flushable, but they wreak havoc on plumbing systems
​
Toilets:
-
Feminine hygiene products
-
Paper towels or tissues
-
Cotton balls, swabs, and dental floss
​
Our team sees these everyday culprits during drain snaking calls throughout Madison Heights and the surrounding areas.
