Frequently Asked Questions

At The Drain Fighter Jetting and Drain Cleaning Services, we understand that homeowners and businesses often have important questions before scheduling our services. That’s why we’ve created this FAQ section—to give you clear, straightforward answers about our drain cleaning solutions, emergency availability, and prevention tips. As a trusted local company with a strong commitment to honesty and trustworthiness, we’re here to help you make informed decisions and keep your plumbing running smoothly.

Do you offer emergency drain cleaning services for urgent clogs or backups?

Yes. We understand that drain emergencies can happen at any time, which is why we offer 24/7 emergency drain cleaning services. Whether it’s a clogged kitchen sink, an overflowing toilet, or a sewer line backup, our team responds quickly to restore proper flow and prevent water damage to your home or business.

Absolutely. Our advanced jetting equipment is designed to handle the toughest blockages, including grease buildup, intrusive tree roots, and scale deposits. Unlike temporary fixes, our high-pressure jetting thoroughly cleans the inside of your pipes, restoring them to full capacity and reducing the chance of future clogs.

Some warning signs that indicate you may need professional drain cleaning include:

  • Slow-draining sinks or tubs
  • Recurring clogs in the same fixture
  • Gurgling sounds coming from the drains
  • Unpleasant odors from sinks or floor drains
  • Water backing up in toilets or tubs

     

If you notice one or more of these issues, it’s best to call a professional before the problem escalates into a major backup.

Recurring clogs usually happen when the underlying issue hasn’t been fully addressed. Common causes include grease buildup, hair, soap scum, food waste, or tree roots in your sewer line. Store-bought drain cleaners often only push the clog deeper rather than removing it. Our thorough cleaning methods ensure that the entire blockage is removed, preventing clogs from returning quickly.

While chemical cleaners may provide temporary relief, they often do more harm than good. These products can corrode pipes, damage plumbing fixtures, and pose health risks if not used properly. We strongly recommend avoiding chemical drain cleaners and instead calling a professional for safe, effective results that protect your plumbing system.

Preventing future clogs is all about maintenance and mindful use. Here are some simple steps:

  • Avoid pouring grease, oil, or food scraps down the sink
  • Use drain strainers to catch hair and debris
  • Flush drains occasionally with hot water
  • Schedule routine professional cleaning if you have older pipes or heavy use

     

Taking these precautions can extend the life of your plumbing and minimize costly repairs.

In most cases, we can respond the same day—and for emergencies, we’re available 24/7. Our goal is to provide fast and reliable service, whether it’s a clogged drain or a sewer video inspection in Prince George’s County, MD, so you don’t have to deal with the stress and inconvenience of plumbing issues longer than necessary.
