What Might Be Causing My Drain Problems?
Hair, paper products, cooking grease, and mineral buildup are among the most common causes of clogged drains. Corroded, broken pipes and leaky joints can cause a whole other set of issues, as can faulty sewage ejector pumps. A sewage ejector pump moves wastewater upward to a sewer line when gravity drainage is not possible. No matter the issues, our plumbing experts will find and fix it.
Which Drains Can We Repair?
Pretty much all of ‘em. Well, more specifically:
- Bathroom, kitchen, and utility sinks
- Shower and tub drains
- Toilets
- Dishwashers and garbage disposals
- Washers
- Floor drains
- Main sewer lines
- Downspouts
What Our Drain Plumbers Do That You Can’t
Professional drain and sewer diagnosis identifies the cause of the problem and helps determine the right repair method. We’re trained to handle these situations, and we actually like doing it. Letting us do our thing right off the bat instead of attempting repairs yourself will probably save you a whole lot of time and money in the long run. Liquid clog removers contain corrosive chemicals that can damage pipes and lead to other problems. We often use video inspections to diagnose your drain or sewer’s maladies. Depending on what’s causing your issues, we’ll use one of the following methods to repair it:
Our Advanced Drain Solutions
- Snaking: Also called cabling. We thread a coiled, metal wire through your pipe and rotate it to clear out debris.
- Rooter Service: Basically, snaking with the added benefit of blades that help to remove major clogs caused by everything from grease to tree roots.
- Hydro Jetting: We pressure wash your drains and pipes to blast away clogs.
Our Sewer Line Solutions
Wolcott offers pipe bursting to replace Orangeburg, cast iron, PVC, ABS, HDPE, and concrete pipes. An off-grade pipe has lost the slope needed for wastewater to flow properly, while a bellied pipe has a low, sagging section where wastewater and debris can collect. Pipe bursting is a trenchless replacement method that breaks apart an old underground pipe while pulling a new pipe into place. We also offer re-piping services. If your water pressure has changed, your water’s changed color, or it smells weird, have a plumber evaluate the cause, as these changes can have several causes. Learn more here and here.
Proactive Sewer Maintenance Plans
Your sewer system is responsible for safely transporting wastewater away from your home or business, ensuring your daily activities run smoothly. But, like any other system, it needs regular care to perform at its best. Routine maintenance is the key to preventing costly and inconvenient sewer troubles. By entrusting us with your sewer service in Portland, OR, and the neighboring areas, you’re investing in the long-term health of your property.
Sewage backup can damage your home and threaten your family’s safety. Don’t try resolving a sewer emergency yourself—call in professionals for safe, effective repairs.
Septic Tank Maintenance & Solutions
Many properties on the outskirts of Portland—particularly in rural or less-developed neighborhoods—depend on well-maintained septic systems. We follow all public health and city guidelines during inspections and cleanings to lower the risk of contamination or fines. Keeping a septic system in good shape will extend its life and prevent expensive disruptions, especially for homes not connected to Portland’s main sewer line.
Our team provides septic tank care that keeps systems running well. Regular inspections and cleanings are important, and our technicians offer advice on maintenance and steps to avoid common problems that cause expensive repairs.
How to Prevent Clogged Drains
- Do not pour hot grease down the drain. When it cools, it solidifies and creates blockages.
- Carefully pour boiling water down your drains every once in a while to keep buildup from hardening on the insides of your pipes. Don’t do this if you have PVC pipes, and be careful not to pour the boiling water directly onto any porcelain sinks. (They can crack.)
- Use drain covers or screens to catch hair, food, etc. before they go down the drain
