Is it Time for a Drain Cleaning?

Drain clogs start small—but they get worse quickly. Catching the signs early can save you from messy backups and expensive repairs. Here’s what to watch for:

  • Water Draining Slowly: A clear sign of buildup in your pipes—often from grease, hair, or soap residue.
  • Gurgling Sounds: Noises from your drain or toilet may indicate a partial blockage or air trapped in the line.
  • Frequent Clogs: Repeated clogs in the same fixture are a signal that deeper cleaning is needed.
  • Foul Odors: A bad smell coming from your sink or tub could be trapped debris or even bacteria in the drain line.
  • Backed-Up Fixtures: Water backing up into your tub or sink when you flush the toilet usually means a main line issue.
  • Standing Water: Water pooling around floor drains or appliances indicates a serious clog or drainage problem.
  • Overflowing Toilets: Frequent overflows—especially when using other fixtures—point to a systemic drain issue.
  • Bubbling in Other Drains: If using one drain causes bubbles in another, your system is likely blocked or unvented.

A One Stop Shop for Drain Cleaning Services

From bathroom sinks to your home’s main sewer line, we have the tools to clear any clog and restore your drains to full working order. Our team uses advanced equipment and proven techniques that protect your plumbing while delivering long-term results.
  • Snaking & Cabling

    For common clogs close to the fixture, we use professional-grade snakes and cables to break through blockages and restore flow.

    This service is perfect for:
    • Bathroom sink and tub drains
    • Kitchen sinks with grease buildup
    • Shower drains blocked by hair
    • Toilet clogs that don’t clear with a plunger

    It’s fast, effective, and safe for all types of pipes.

  • Hydro Jetting

    For stubborn or deep clogs, hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to blast away years of debris, grease, and even tree roots.

    Our hydro jetting process:
    • Scrubs pipe walls clean
    • Flushes out buildup and residue
    • Restores full pipe diameter
    • Prevents future blockages longer than snaking

    It’s ideal for homes with older plumbing or repeated backup issues.

  • Video Camera Inspections

    Before we start or after we finish, our drain camera inspections give you a clear view of what’s going on inside your pipes.

    Camera inspections help:
    • Locate the exact location and cause of a clog
    • Confirm drain cleaning success
    • Identify cracked or broken sections of pipe
    • Plan for future maintenance or replacement

    You’ll get peace of mind knowing the problem’s been solved.

    Kitchen sinks are notorious for grease, food scraps, and soap scum buildup. We specialize in clearing kitchen drain clogs quickly and without damage.

    • Soap and detergent buildup
    • Blocked garbage disposal lines

    We’ll clean the clog and advise you on how to prevent the next one.

Real reviews from your neighbors

Karen Helsel

We found Crystal Water Plumbing when our well pump stopped working. They came out, diagnosed and gave us an estimate, and then repaired the two-fold problem (both the pressure switch and the pump itself had failed) within the day. They also noticed other items, and quickly addressed all of the issues, and now we have a well that should give us decades of worry-free service.
