Clogged Drains

A clogged drain in your Rocklin home or Rocklin business is frustrating. A clogged drain could be the result of hair, organic matter, cooking oils or ingredients, or an object blockage. If the clogged drain is a bathroom sink or shower drain, the culprit is almost always hair. The answer can be an easy fix: it might be gross, but start by reaching into the drain and pulling out the hair that is causing the clogged drain.

The severity of the clog may require you to contact a Rocklin plumber. Without knowing the severity of the clog, or the reason for the clogged drain, we can’t offer a diagnosis over the phone. But we have found that the following factors can help determine the complexity of the drain clog.

Source of blockage
Some clogs are minor and homeowners often get relief from their clogged drains using over the counter solutions like Drano, or even the use of a plunger. If these methods don’t work, contact a plumber. Snaking your clogged drain is usually the first step a professional plumber will take.

Number of clogged drains
If just one of your drains is stopped up, that’s an easier fix than multiple drains. The issue could be serious, located between the fixture and the main line.

Fixture assembly/disassembly
Sometimes pipes located underneath the sink, or perhaps even the toilet, may have to be disassembled. Because of the labor and replacement parts involved, this repair will be more expensive than just snaking the drain.

The repair of your slow or clogged drain will be dependent on the severity of the blockage. If you have a plumbing issue, ABT Plumbing can be to your Rocklin home or business the very same day. Call 916.645.9120
