Items falling into the sink drain can also cause a clog. Toothpaste caps are the most common, but other items found on bathroom counters such as hair ties, bobby pins, and even priceless jewelry can get lost and stuck in the pipe. If a priceless item has fallen into the sink, stop using water immediately. Our team can often retrieve items if they are still in the trap. We can also ensure the proper pop up assembly is installed to protect your drain from objects. 

Showers and tubs also become clogged due to hair and oily bath products. Excessive buildup can cause pressure in the line and eventually lead to leaks or breaks. Ensure that hair is cleaned from shower drains after every shower and use a small mesh strainer to catch hair before it goes down the drain. 

Toilet Clogs and Main Sewer Line Backups 

Toilet clogs are common and happen due to a variety of reasons. When the toilet is blocked but other drains are not affected, a professional toilet auger will solve the problem. However, if the toilet is bubbling or showers and tubs are also backing up, it indicates a problem in the main sewer line. 

It is best to avoid using a plunger, as improper force or the wrong style of plunger can cause leaks in the toilet seal. 

If the main sewer line is problematic, it will require a professional sewer line snaking. Poe’s Plumbing & Backflow uses professional equipment to properly and safely clear main sewer lines. If we discover roots in the line, or it will not clear, we may need to perform a sewer camera inspection to accurately diagnose the cause. 

For root intrusion and heavy scale buildup, hydro jetting is a cost-effective solution. It is the best method of cleaning sewer lines, if they are intact and not missing sections or deteriorating from age. 

We offer free estimates and never charge a travel fee, offer 24/7 emergency services, and provide you with quality work at a reasonable rate.
