Drain Cleaning & Clog Removal by Guardian Plumbing in Gladstone, MO

A slow drain is information. Kitchen lines pack up with congealed grease and food waste, bathroom lines bind with hair and soap scum, and older Northland houses with cast iron or galvanized drains narrow from the inside out as scale builds year after year. When every fixture in the house drains slowly at once, the problem is usually the main line, not the fixtures.

We clear drains mechanically with properly sized cabling equipment matched to the line — a small machine for a lavatory arm, a heavier one for a kitchen branch or a main. Cutting the blockage out and pulling the line back to full diameter lasts far longer than pushing a soft clog further downstream, and it doesn't attack your pipes the way repeated doses of caustic store-bought drain chemicals do.

If a line clogs again soon after it's cleared, something structural is usually going on: a belly in the pipe holding water, root intrusion at a joint, a broken section, or a venting problem making fixtures gurgle and drain slowly. We'll tell you what the line's behavior is pointing at and what the repair would involve, rather than selling you the same clearing over and over.
