Drain Cleaning in Hannibal, NY

Drain Cleaning in Hannibal: what the job involves

A slow sink is annoying. A slow main is a warning. We start by working out which one you have, because the fix and the cost are completely different. A single slow fixture in a Hannibal home is usually hair and soap in the trap arm or grease in a kitchen branch. When everything is slow at once, the problem is downstream of all of it and cabling a bathroom sink will not touch it.

We cable branch lines with the right head for the material, jet where build-up is heavy enough to need it, and pull the cleanout cap rather than pushing debris further into the system. If a line has been cleared three times in two years, we say so and put a camera down instead of selling you a fourth cleaning.

When to call us

• Water standing in a sink, tub or shower
• Gurgling from one drain when another one runs
• Kitchen sink backing up into the second bowl
• A drain that clears with chemicals and blocks again in a week

Hannibal and the area around it

Winter is what makes plumbing in Hannibal different from plumbing almost anywhere warmer. Every January we are thawing lines in crawl spaces, garages and exterior walls, and repairing the splits that open up as they thaw. If a run in your house has frozen once, it will freeze again until the cold air feeding it is dealt with, and we would rather fix that than come back.

Every job in Hannibal starts with a diagnosis and a price. You approve the number before any work starts, and that includes nights, weekends and holidays. If we find something else once the wall is open, work stops and we talk to you before it carries on.
