Our Professional Clog-Clearing Techniques

Drains commonly clog because of hair, grease, soap residue, food particles, mineral buildup, or foreign objects. In more severe cases, tree roots may penetrate the sewer line and create a blockage deep within the system.

Our approach to drain cleaning in Apple Valley begins with a professional video camera inspection. By sending a specialized sewer camera through your drain line, we can pinpoint the exact location and cause of the blockage before recommending the most effective solution.

Once we’ve identified the problem, we select the appropriate cleaning method.

For minor clogs located closer to the drain opening, we often use a professional drain auger to safely remove the blockage and restore water flow.

For more significant buildup or deeper sewer line blockages, we recommend hydro jetting. High-pressure water removes grease, sludge, soap residue, mineral buildup, and other debris while cleaning the inside walls of the pipe.

After the cleaning is complete, we run the inspection camera through the line again to verify that the blockage has been completely removed and your drain is flowing properly.


Why Professional Drain Cleaning Matters

Many homeowners attempt to clear clogged drains using chemical drain cleaners. While these products may temporarily remove minor buildup, they are generally ineffective against tree roots, heavy grease accumulation, or foreign objects lodged deep inside the plumbing system.

In fact, repeated use of harsh chemical drain cleaners may damage certain plumbing materials over time. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommends handling household chemicals responsibly to help protect plumbing systems and water quality:

Professional drain cleaning provides a safer, longer-lasting solution by removing the actual blockage instead of simply creating a temporary opening through it.

Our licensed plumbers have the equipment and experience to remove deep drain clogs without damaging your plumbing system.


Benefits of Regular Drain Cleaning

Scheduling routine drain cleaning can help prevent expensive plumbing repairs while extending the life of your plumbing system.

Professional drain cleaning can help:

  • Prevent recurring drain clogs
  • Improve drainage throughout your home
  • Reduce unpleasant drain odors
  • Remove grease and mineral buildup
  • Protect pipes from excessive pressure
  • Help identify plumbing issues before they become major repairs
  • Reduce the risk of sewer backups
  • Improve overall plumbing performance

If we discover damage during the inspection, we also provide professional trenchless sewer repair and pipe repair services to restore your plumbing system.


Prioritize Pipe Maintenance With Regular Drain Cleaning

Don’t wait until water begins backing up into your home before scheduling drain cleaning.

Routine maintenance helps keep your plumbing system operating efficiently and may reduce the likelihood of emergency plumbing problems.

Our plumbers also recommend several simple ways to help prevent future drain clogs:

  • Use drain strainers to catch hair and food debris.
  • Never pour grease or cooking oils down your drains.
  • Flush drains periodically using hot water.
  • Use baking soda and vinegar occasionally to help reduce minor buildup.
  • Schedule professional drain maintenance before serious clogs develop.

Combined with routine professional cleaning, these habits can help keep your plumbing system in excellent condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need professional drain cleaning in Apple Valley?

Common signs include slow drains, recurring clogs, gurgling sounds, unpleasant odors, water backing up into other fixtures, or multiple clogged drains throughout your home.

Is hydro jetting better than traditional drain snaking?

Hydro jetting is often the better choice for severe grease buildup, mineral deposits, and recurring clogs because it cleans the inside of the pipe rather than simply creating a hole through the blockage. Our plumbers will determine which method is best after inspecting your plumbing system.

Can chemical drain cleaners damage my pipes?

Repeated use of chemical drain cleaners may damage certain plumbing materials and usually does not remove the underlying cause of the clog. Professional drain cleaning is generally the safer and more effective long-term solution.

How often should I schedule professional drain cleaning?

Most homeowners benefit from professional drain cleaning every one to two years. Homes with older plumbing, heavy usage, or recurring clogs may require more frequent maintenance.

Do you provide emergency drain cleaning in Apple Valley?

Yes. Thompson Family Plumbing and Drain offers 24/7 emergency plumbing and drain cleaning services throughout Apple Valley for severe clogs, sewer backups, and other urgent plumbing issues.

  • “Price was more than reasonable, especially last minute”

    What a great local family company. Had a little issue today (Saturday). Gave them a call. The lady said she would have someone here between 3 & 5. It was at 1 when I called. 3:00 on the nose Don was here. Don was very friendly and had the broken pipe fixed in no time at all. The price was more than reasonable, especially last minute on a Saturday.

  • “Took care of it in no time”

    Plumbing technician Dean Taylor came over last week to set up a line so I could get a dishwasher installed. I didn’t have the proper setup but he took care of it in no time! Now the installers will have no problem doing it. He was very knowledgeable and professional. I will definitely have him come back for other plumbing jobs. From start to finish everyone I spoke to was very helpful! Their customer service is outstanding!

    -Jackie L.

  • “Gave me great peace of mind”

    Great experience with TFP! They were super professional and friendly, exactly on time, fixed the issue, AND were inexpensive. I received a text when to expect them with a picture of my two technicians (Dean & Kade) AND their license numbers included in the text. This gave me great peace of mind as I am a woman that lives alone. I highly recommend Thompson Family Plumbing!

    -Brisa A.

  • “Integrity and honesty”

    I cannot say enough good things about this amazing company. We found them through reading other people’s reviews on Yelp. They have helped us with a plumbing issue and installing a new hot water heater. They are prompt, reasonable, and incredibly helpful. John’s integrity and honesty along with the rest of the crew would make it a pleasure to recommend to anyone and everyone.
