Outdoor & Storm Drain Cleaning in Gaithersburg

Outdoor drains, including storm drains, can become clogged with leaves, dirt, and debris, especially after heavy rains.

We clear these important drains to ensure proper water runoff and protect your property from water damage.

Kitchen Drain Cleaning in Gaithersburg

Bathroom Sink, Tub and Shower Drains in Gaithersburg, MD

Hair, soap scum and toothpaste combine into a stringy mat that slows bathroom drains. We pull the stopper or drain cover, clear the trap and run a small cable into the branch line. For tubs with trip-lever overflows, we cable through the overflow so we do not scratch the finish. Pop-up stoppers that keep catching hair can be adjusted or replaced while we are there. Most bathroom drain calls take less than an hour.

Laundry and Floor Drain Cleaning in Gaithersburg, MD

Washing machines push lint, fabric softener residue and sand into the standpipe, which can overflow onto the laundry room floor. We clean the standpipe and branch line and check that the trap and vent are doing their job. Garage and utility floor drains often collect dirt, gravel and yard debris tracked or blown in. We clear those lines and flush them so they can take a full washer discharge. A lint trap on the washer hose is a cheap fix we can add.

Main Sewer Drain Cleaning in Gaithersburg

When several fixtures back up at once, or the tub fills when the toilet flushes, the main line is usually blocked. We locate your cleanout, often near the front of the house or along the side yard, and run a sectional cable with a cutting head through the 3 or 4 inch line. Roots from mature yard trees are a common cause in older neighborhoods. After clearing the line we recommend a camera inspection to check for breaks or sags. If there is no cleanout, we can add one so future service costs less.
