Drain Cleaning

Although there are many do it yourself websites that instruct how to clean your drains, they offer only minimum information on worst case scenarios. Even well maintained drains clog, no matter how much baking soda and vinegar you pour down in there. The obvious indication of a drain problem is when your shower is slow, or the tub takes a while to empty. It is normal for kitchen drains to accumulate crud from greases, garbage or shoving down something that doesn’t fit in the garbage disposal. Lavatory drains can clog from toothpaste and soap scum. Bath drains can clog from hair and shampoo scum. No matter what the cause of your drain clog, Henrik Plumbing can help clean it up. Henrik Plumbing, will use a snake to unclog and free your drains of hair, grease, soap scum and more. The snake is a long flexible steel cable that is used to clear drains. Sink drains and Shower drains can both be unclogged using this snake. The snake is feed through the trap and yanks out any debris causing a clog. You can also ask our service technician to install a strainer to keep hair from going down the shower drain. It is better to clean a strainer once a week then to call Henrik Plumbing every few months to unclog a drain.

It is important to note that not all plumbing systems require repiping or a complete replacement. Often times your home or business can benefit from drain cleaning service and maintenance.
