Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have my home's drains professionally cleaned?

For most residential properties in Gainesville, a professional drain cleaning is recommended once every 1 to 2 years as preventive maintenance. However, if you live in an older home with original cast-iron pipes, or if your property has large trees with aggressive root systems near the sewer line, you may benefit from annual or bi-annual cleanings. Routine maintenance removes grease buildup and minor root intrusions before they escalate into costly emergency backups.

Is it normal for my kitchen sink to smell like rotten eggs?

No, a persistent foul odor is a strong indicator of a plumbing issue. In kitchen sinks, this smell is usually caused by food particles, fats, and organic debris stuck to the pipe walls or decomposing inside the garbage disposal. In some cases, the smell could indicate a dry P-trap or a blocked plumbing vent stack on your roof, which allows sewer gases to escape back into your living space rather than venting outside.

Why does water back up into my bathtub when I run the washing machine?

When water from a high-volume appliance like a washing machine causes a backup in an adjacent fixture, it indicates a restriction in your home's main sewer line or a shared branch line. Because the washing machine discharges a large volume of water very quickly, the partially blocked pipe cannot drain it fast enough. The water takes the path of least resistance, which is typically the lowest open drain in the house—often a bathtub or shower pan.
