How We Take Care of Clogged Drains
At O'Connor Plumbing, we take a thorough and effective approach to clearing clogged drains. Our licensed plumbers begin with a video inspection, using a high-resolution camera to locate the exact source and severity of the blockage. This allows us to diagnose the problem accurately and choose the most effective solution. For common clogs caused by hair, grease, or small obstructions, we often use drain snaking, a flexible tool that breaks up and removes debris. For more stubborn or deep-rooted blockages, we turn to hydro jetting, a powerful, high-pressure water method that thoroughly cleans the inside of your pipes, eliminating buildup, scale, and even invasive tree roots. Whatever the issue, our goal is to restore full flow and ensure your plumbing is clean, clear, and built to last.
We take pride in providing honest, high-quality plumbing service for our neighbors. If we’ve earned your trust, we’d love to hear from you. Share your experience and help others in the community find a plumber they can count on.
How Often Should I Schedule Drain Cleaning?
For most homes, we recommend scheduling professional drain cleaning at least once a year to keep your plumbing system in top shape. Regular maintenance helps prevent buildup from grease, soap, hair, food particles, and other debris that can lead to slow drains or stubborn clogs. If you have an older plumbing system, a large household, or trees near your sewer line, more frequent cleanings (every 6 to 12 months) may be necessary. Preventative drain and sewer services not only extend the life of your pipes but also help you avoid unexpected backups and costly repairs.

What Causes Drain Clogs?
Drain clogs are one of the most common plumbing issues homeowners face, and they don’t usually happen overnight. Over time, various materials can build up inside your pipes, slowing water flow and eventually leading to full blockages.
Common causes of drain clogs include:
- Hair buildup - Especially in bathroom sinks and showers, hair can bind with soap and other debris to create tough clogs.
- Grease, fats, and oils - These substances may go down the drain as liquids but quickly solidify and stick to the inside of pipes.
- Soap scum - Traditional soap can leave behind a sticky residue that narrows your pipes over time.
- Food scraps - Even with a garbage disposal, starchy or fibrous foods like pasta, rice, and peels can cause trouble.
- Foreign objects - Items like wipes, cotton swabs, dental floss, and kids’ toys can cause blockages if flushed or dropped down drains.
- Mineral buildup - Hard water can leave mineral deposits inside pipes, reducing flow and contributing to clogs.
- Tree root intrusion - In outdoor sewer lines, tree roots can grow into the pipes in search of moisture, causing major blockages and damage.
Understanding the most common causes can help you prevent future problems and know when it’s time to call in a professional.
