You don’t always see a drain problem coming but when it hits, it’s hard to ignore. A slow sink, standing water in the shower, or that unpleasant smell near a floor drain can all point to the same thing: a clog that needs professional attention.
At Scott Hale Plumbing, Heating & Air, we provide expert drain cleaning services for homes and businesses across Salt Lake City.
Whether you’re dealing with a stubborn kitchen clog or a slow-moving main line, we’ll help you clear it fast and prevent it from coming back.
Clogs often build up slowly. This means the symptoms can creep in over time. Knowing what to watch for can help you address the problem early before it turns into a full blockage. Common signs include:
These issues usually don’t go away on their own. If you’ve noticed one or more of these signs in your home, it’s a good time to schedule professional drain cleaning.
Drain cleaning isn’t just for emergencies. Routine maintenance can help prevent bigger problems down the line, especially in households with older pipes, lots of activity, or known trouble spots.
In general:
Regular drain cleaning helps extend the life of your plumbing and keeps everything flowing the way it should.
Professional drain cleaning is about more than just clearing a clog. It’s a safe, targeted approach to keeping your pipes clean and functional without damaging your plumbing system.
We use a combination of tools and methods based on the location and severity of the clog:
Our goal is always to solve the issue at its source and give you lasting results, not a temporary fix.
Ignoring a clog or relying on chemical drain cleaners can lead to bigger headaches. Proper drain cleaning protects both your pipes and your peace of mind.
Here’s why it matters:
If you’ve ever tried to unclog a drain and had it come right back, it’s probably time to let a professional take over.
When you schedule drain cleaning with Scott Hale, here’s what you can expect:
We’re respectful of your time, your home, and your plumbing. Our goal is to make the process simple and leave you with a system that works better than before.
We don’t recommend it. Chemical drain cleaners can damage pipes, especially older ones, and often don’t reach deep clogs. A mechanical or water-based solution is safer and more effective.
If multiple drains are slow or backing up at once, especially on lower floors, the problem could be in your main sewer line. We can confirm it with a quick video inspection.
Most single-drain cleanings take less than an hour. More complex or mainline jobs may take longer depending on the clog’s location and severity.
No. Our team uses protective equipment and cleanup procedures to make sure your space looks just as clean as when we arrived.
Avoid flushing grease, coffee grounds, or wipes. Use drain strainers to catch hair and debris. And consider scheduling annual cleaning if your home is prone to buildup.
When your drains are slow, noisy, or backing up, it’s time to clear the problem at the source. Scott Hale Plumbing, Heating & Air offers professional drain cleaning services across SLC, using proven tools and techniques to keep your plumbing moving.
