Dealing With Slow & Clogged Drains in Ankeny Homes

A clogged drain is one of the most frustrating things that can happen in your home. You're trying to get ready for work or make dinner, and suddenly dirty water is filling your sink or pooling around your ankles in the shower. In growing Ankeny neighborhoods, we see all kinds of drain troubles - from brand-new homes where construction dust or settling pipes slow down water flow, to older homes where years of soap scum, hair, and cooking grease have narrowed the pipes. Store-bought chemical drain cleaners often just burn a small pinhole through the clog and can eat away at your pipes. Our plumbers use motorized drain snakes with rotating blades that safely scrub the whole inside of the pipe clean.

If only your bathroom sink is draining slowly, the problem is almost always right under the sink in the curved trap pipe. That's a quick, easy fix. But if you hear your toilet gurgle when you drain the bathtub, or if soapy water bubbles up into your basement floor drain when you run the washing machine, the blockage is further down in your main sewer line. In Ankeny, homeowners are responsible for the sewer line that runs from the house out to the city street main. We carry professional rooter machines that can reach deep into the line to cut through tree roots and thick buildup, protecting your basement from messy backups.
