Signs You Need Drain Cleaning in Newtown Square, PA
Clogged sewer lines and indoor drains can be quite inconvenient. To spot them early and get the problem solved as soon as possible, watch for these common signs:
- Slow drains or minor clogging
- Foul odors from your plumbing
- Bubbling or gurgling sounds as drains are used
- Sounds from nearby drains as another is used
- Rising water in the toilet bowl
- Water backing up into the fixture
Our Drain Cleaning Methods
When you have a stubborn clog, our experts at Mattioni have several methods we can use to get your drains and sewers flowing freely again. Our methods include:
- Pipe snakes: For smaller clogs in sinks or tubs, a pipe snake can dislodge the obstruction and get the water flowing again.
- Power augurs: A power auger may be used for more serious issues. Essentially a heavy-duty pipe snake with specialized cutting heads, a power auger is driven by a powerful electric motor to cut through stubborn clogs.
- Pipe cameras: When clogs reoccur, our team can use our pipe camera systems to inspect the interior of sewer pipes, looking for damage that may lead to buildups or verifying the cause of current obstructions.
Although it may be tempting to use commercially available liquids before calling in the professionals, we don’t recommend it. Many drain cleaning products contain corrosive ingredients, acids, or other harsh chemicals, and they may damage your sewer pipes over time, leading to costly leaks and repairs. Plus, these at-home solutions can be quite dangerous for children and pets, whereas our methods are environmentally friendly and safe!
How To Prevent Clogged Drains
Drain clogs tend to form when grease and cooking oils harden or things like foreign objects lodge in the pipes and start catching hair, toilet paper, waste, and food particles. You can avoid many buildups by being careful about what goes down your pipes. Here are a few tips that can help:
- Throw away hardened cooking grease and oil instead of rinsing it down the pipes
- Place strainers or baskets in sinks and tubs to catch hair
- Avoid flushing anything but waste and toilet paper down the toilet
- Never flush paper towels, baby wipes, “flushable” wipes, hygiene products, or foreign objects like toys or keys
- Keep hard or stringy foods out of the garbage disposal, like celery, banana peels, bones, or onion skins
- Avoid grinding soft foods that can congeal or clump, like pasta, rice, oatmeal, or coffee grounds

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the common causes of drain blockages?
Hair and grease buildup are common indoor drain problems. Deeper blockages are often caused by broken pipes, root intrusion, grease buildup, and poor pipe installations.
How often do drains need to be cleaned?
Your drains need a professional cleaning at least once a year. In between, it’s best to maintain your professional results by regularly flushing your pipes with hot water and installing strainers into your sinks and showers.
Why do multiple drains get clogged at once?
An obstructed sewer line can cause backup throughout your indoor plumbing. If all the sinks on your first floor are clogged, it’s time for a sewer line inspection.
Can I use chemical cleaners to clear my drains?
DIY cleaners often contain hazardous compounds that can lead to pipe damage. Despite their toxicity, they can only remove some of the water-based grime. Their potential risks simply don’t live up to their benefits.
