Clogged Drain? Call McGill! (727) 382-3849

Just because drain clogs are a common plumbing problem does not make them any less serious. A backed up drain more than just a nuisance; because wastewater is unable to be effectively transported away from your home, it can quickly become a hygienic concern.

If you're dealing with a clogged sink, shower, tub, or toilet drain in your Clearwater home, the time is now to call McGill Plumbing & Water Treatment, Inc. We'll come to you quickly with state-of-the-art tools to eliminate clogs at their source, whether they're in close proximity to your drain or located deep within your sewer lines.

To schedule service with our Clearwater drain cleaning team, call (727) 382-3849 now.

Understanding Common Causes of Clogged Drains

Over time, drains can suffer from a buildup of sludge that narrows the space through which wastewater can pass. Sometimes this problem is avoidable with a little drain maintenance and knowledge of what can and cannot go down a drain (looking at you, "flushable" wipes!) Other times, drain problems arise from circumstances outside of our control, such as tree root intrusion into old, aging pipes. Regardless of the cause, drain issues are best left to professionals who can solve the problem at its source instead of bottles of chemical drain cleaners that only treat the symptoms.

Drain clogs can be caused by any of the following common culprits:

  • Hair
  • Soap scum
  • Congealed cooking oil / grease
  • Tree roots
  • Trash
  • Excessive amounts of toilet paper
  • Food particles
  • Damaged sewer line

5 Essential Tips to Prevent Clogged Sewer Lines

  • Proper Grease Disposal: Refrain from pouring cooking grease or oil down your drains. Collect it in a container and throw it in the trash instead.
  • Install Drain Screens: Use drain screens or strainers in sinks, showers, and bathtubs to catch hair, food particles, and other debris.
  • Flush Only Toilet Paper: Only flush toilet paper and human waste. Avoid flushing items like wipes, sanitary products, or paper towels to prevent blockages.
  • Regular Drain Maintenance: Clean your drains regularly using hot water, baking soda, and vinegar to break down buildup and keep clogs at bay.
  • Mindful Landscaping: Plant trees and shrubs away from sewer lines to avoid root infiltration. If you must plant near sewer lines, consider using root barriers.

Experience a Like-New Clean with Hydro Jetting

When traditional drain cleaning isn't the right solution, hydro jetting is an option that can provide great results. Hydro jetting involves the use of specialized equipment that sends jets of highly-pressurized water through your sewer lines, blasting away sludge, debris, tree roots, and mineral buildup. The result is clean, well-functioning pipes without the expense of replacing the line. If you're dealing with frequent drain clogs or are interested in adding hydro jetting to your preventive drain maintenance routine, give us a call now to see if this sewer cleaning method is right for your property.

A common problem Clearwater homeowners encounter is tree roots intruding into aging sewer lines, particularly in older neighborhoods like Harbor Oaks and Old Clearwater Bay.

Another frequent concern is buildup in drains. From hair to food particles to grease, this accumulation can lead to slow drains and eventually full blockages. Our state-of-the-art equipment is designed to tackle these specific clogs, keeping your drains clear and functional.

Commonly Asked Questions

How often should I have my drains cleaned?

It’s recommended to have your drains cleaned professionally every 1-2 years to prevent major clogs and buildup. However, if you have older plumbing or notice slow drainage, frequent blockages, or foul odors, more frequent maintenance may be necessary.

How do I know if my drain is clogged or if there’s an issue with the sewer line?

A clogged drain typically causes slow drainage or standing water in sinks, tubs, or toilets, while sewer line issues can cause multiple drains to back up at once. If you notice foul odors, gurgling noises, or sewage backup in your home, it’s more likely a sewer line issue, which requires professional assessment.
