Frequently Asked Questions
Do you handle both emergency and non-urgent drain cleaning?
Yes. Our Martelle area network handles everything from active backups to slower clogs that just need to get scheduled and cleared properly.
Can tree roots really get into a drain line?
Yes — roots are drawn to the moisture inside drain and sewer lines and can enter through small cracks or joints, gradually causing blockages or pipe damage. This is a common cause of recurring main line backups.
Why does the same drain keep clogging?
Recurring clogs in the same spot often point to something structural — a partial blockage that was never fully cleared, a bellied section of pipe, or root intrusion. A camera inspection can usually identify the underlying cause.
What should I do while waiting for a technician to arrive?
Avoid running additional water into the affected drain, and don't use chemical drain cleaners right before a technician arrives, since residual chemicals can be a safety concern during mechanical clearing.
Will a chemical drain cleaner fix this myself?
Store-bought chemical cleaners can sometimes clear minor clogs, but they often just push the blockage further down the line rather than removing it, and repeated use can damage older pipes. For a persistent or full blockage, mechanical clearing is usually more effective.
