What does drain cleaning in Abington involve?
Drain cleaning in Abington starts with finding where the clog sits: in one fixture, in a branch line or in the main leaving the house. We clear it with a cable sized to the pipe, pull back what caused it, and use a camera when the same drain keeps coming back. Water heater repairs and replacements make up the other half of our Abington calls.
Abington Township covers a lot of ground, from Roslyn and Ardsley to Rydal, McKinley and parts of Glenside, Willow Grove and Huntingdon Valley. Old York Road, Susquehanna Road and Easton Road cut through it, and Lower Moreland, where our office is, borders the township.
The drain calls here split two ways. Kitchen lines choke on grease and food scraps a few feet past the trap, while basement floor drains and laundry tubs back up when the main is the real problem. Telling those apart on the first visit keeps you from paying for the same clog twice. For the hot water side, see our page on replacing a water heater.
Clogs that come back in Abington homes
When a kitchen drain clogs again a month after cleaning, a small cable has usually just punched a hole through grease coating the pipe wall. In that case we suggest jetting the line, which scours the wall back to bare pipe instead of leaving a ring for new grease to grab.
Basement backups are different. If the floor drain and the laundry tub fill together, we go to the main cleanout, clear the line and run a camera so you can see whether roots, a sag or a broken joint is behind it.
Plumbing jobs we handle in Abington
These are the jobs Abington homeowners book with us most.
Drain Cleaning
Kitchen sinks, bathroom lavs and tubs are cleared with a cable matched to the pipe size, never with acid.
Hydro Jetting
Kitchen lines that reclog with grease are jetted so the pipe wall is clean, not just opened.
Main Sewer Line Cleaning
A floor drain bubbling when the washer empties points to the main, which we open from the cleanout.
Water Heater Replacement
Tanks leaking at the base are replaced with a heater sized to the household, plus an expansion tank where needed.
Water Heater Maintenance
A flush and an anode rod check help an existing tank last longer and run quieter.
Garbage Disposal Repair
Disposals that hum without turning or drip from the housing are freed, resealed or swapped.
Grease and food solids build up on the inside of the pipe and narrow it a little at a time. A quick cable job opens a hole but leaves the coating behind. If it keeps happening, jetting the line removes the buildup itself.
We would rather you did not. Caustic cleaners rarely clear a full blockage, they sit in the pipe and can attack older metal drain lines, and they make the job hazardous for whoever opens the line next. A plunger is fine; past that, call.
Once a year is a sensible habit, more often if your water leaves scale. Flushing clears sediment off the tank bottom, which is what causes rumbling and slow recovery. We check the anode rod and relief valve on the same visit.
