Contact Bonita Springs Drain Cleaning — Bonita Springs, FL

For a single slow sink or tub, a plunger and a hand-held drain tool are reasonable first steps, and cleaning the stopper or trap often does the job. Stop if more than one fixture is affected, if wastewater comes up in a different drain, or if the drain clears for a day and then clogs again. Those are signs that the problem is in a shared line, and forcing it can make it worse.

A single fixture that is slow usually has a local clog. If the toilet bubbles when you run the shower, or the lowest floor drain wells up, you are probably looking at the main line. The main line clog page has a simple check you can do in about ten minutes.

They solve different problems. A cable is quick and works for most single clogs. Jetting cleans the pipe wall and is a better match for grease and scale. Neither is better in every case; the snake vs hydro jetting post explains how to choose.

You do not need one for a first, simple clog. It is worth considering if the same drain has clogged more than once, if the clog was in the main line, or if you are buying a home with an older sewer line. The sewer camera inspection page shows what an inspection reveals.
