What to Expect During a Professional Drain Cleaning Appointment

Every morning, you brush your teeth over a slow-draining sink. Your toddler’s bathwater lingers long after playtime ends. And your kitchen sink? It smells like the ghost of dinners past. Gross!

When your Orange County drains start working in slow motion, it’s more than a nuisance—it’s a sign that your plumbing is calling for help. That’s when it’s time to schedule professional drain cleaning.

So, what does that actually involve? Here’s exactly what to expect when a Barker and Sons plumber shows up at your door.

Finding the Source of the Clog

Before we touch a single pipe, we figure out what we’re working with. That means starting with a camera-line inspection. This non-invasive tool lets us take a peek inside your pipes and find the source of your frustration.

Sometimes it’s just stubborn buildup. Other times? It’s a tree root, a clump of ‘flushable’ wipes, and your toddler’s missing rubber duck. No matter what’s got your pipes cluttered up, we’ll find it and choose the safest and most effective fix for your home.

Comprehensive Drain Cleaning

Once we know what’s causing the backup, we usually break our hydro jet system. This system only uses water. No harsh chemicals required!

This is not your garden hose. Our hydro jet blasts water at up to 3,500 PSI. That’s 50 times the strength of your regular tap!

Here’s how it works:

  • We choose the right hose head to match the size of your pipes.
  • We carefully insert it downstream and snake it through your sewer system.
  • Once we’re near the clog, we turn it on and blast away the gunk, buildup, or blockage!

Hydro jet drain cleanings leave your drains smooth, clear, and flowing like new. It’s one of the best ways to protect your plumbing, especially in a busy household where the sinks never rest.
