Signs You Need Drain Cleaning
Slow drains in multiple rooms, gurgling toilets, foul odors at floor drains, or water rising in the tub when the washer runs all point to a developing blockage. If you’re noticing repeat backups near South Mountain State Park or older homes in Shelby, it’s time to bring in a pro before a small clog turns into a sewer backup.
Our Drain Cleaning Methods
For routine clogs, drain snaking breaks up obstructions and restores basic flow. When buildup is severe, sewer jetting scours the full pipe interior with high-pressure water, removing grease, mineral scale, and roots for a longer-lasting fix. Few local outfits offer true jetting—Badger Plumbing Company invests in specialized equipment so you get the right solution the first time.
Benefits of Hydro Jetting
Jetting restores pipes close to like-new condition, helps prevent recurring clogs, and avoids harsh chemicals. It’s safe for most residential lines when performed by trained techs who assess pipe condition first and set pressure accordingly. That’s our standard in Cleveland County—careful diagnosis, then the right tool.
Simple Prevention That Works
Use sink strainers, avoid pouring fats and oils, flush only toilet paper, and schedule maintenance jetting for problem lines—especially on tree-heavy lots in Polkville, Casar, and Waco. A quick check now beats a weekend emergency later.
Why Choose Badger for Drain Cleaning
Badger Plumbing Company offers fast scheduling (including emergencies), upfront estimates before work begins, and courteous techs who keep your home tidy. If our inspection finds broken or offset sections, we’ll explain options and coordinate seamless handoff to repair crews.
Answers to Drain & Jetting Questions
When should I choose hydro jetting over snaking?
Snaking breaks up simple blockages; hydro jetting scours the full pipe wall to remove grease, scale, and roots. If clogs return, jetting delivers a longer-lasting fix and restores near-original diameter.
Is hydro jetting safe for older pipes?
Yes—when done by trained techs. Badger Plumbing Company assesses pipe material and condition first (often with a camera), then sets pressure accordingly to clean effectively without stressing the line.
How do you find the real cause of a recurring clog?
We start with symptoms and access points, then perform a sewer camera inspection when needed to identify roots, bellies, or collapsed sections so we treat the problem—not just the symptom.
How often should I schedule preventive cleaning?
For homes with heavy kitchen use or mature trees (common around Shelby and Lawndale), plan annual maintenance; otherwise, book service at the first signs—slow drains, gurgling, or odors.
Will chemicals help between visits?
Avoid harsh drain cleaners. They can damage pipes and rarely remove the buildup causing repeat clogs. Professional cleaning or targeted jetting is more effective and easier on your system.
What prep should I do before your visit?
Clear space near sinks, floor drains, and the exterior cleanout; keep pets secured; avoid running water before we arrive so we can evaluate accurately.
What if the camera shows a broken or offset pipe?
Cleaning won’t solve structural damage. We’ll outline repair options, timelines, and costs and coordinate excavation only where needed.
What if this backs up at night?
Call for emergency service. We’ll guide you to pause water use and cap affected drains until help arrives.
