Amazing experience. We’ve had them out to repair a faucet and also to make sure there weren’t any blockages in our pipes leading to the sewer as a different plumbing company advised that we had a major clog but Mother plumbing came out, put their camera down the pipes and confirmed that there is no blockage! They don’t want to charge you for something that is not needed. I beyond appreciate their professionalism and expertise. They are the only plumbing company that I trust.

Rick came out to help us with a problem we were having, and he was able to quickly identify what the issue was. He explained the issue, and the work needed to remedy. I had not heard of Mother Modern Plumbing until the other day, but I’m happy to have them in supporting our needed work!

If you have standing water, a clogged sink or any other plumbing issue related to your drains give us a call.

Why Is My Drain Backed Up?

Debris creating a clogged drain

One of the most common causes of drain blockages is a buildup of debris such as grease, hair, soap scum, food particles, and other household waste. Over time, these materials accumulate inside your pipes, restricting water flow and leading to slow drains or complete blockages.

Roots in Sewer Line

Tree roots naturally seek out moisture and nutrients, and small cracks in sewer pipes attract them. Once inside, roots grow and expand, eventually creating a drain clog, and sometimes pipe breaks. If you have mature trees near your sewer line, root intrusion could be a potential cause of your drainage issues.

Cracked and Leaking Drains

Old or weakened drain pipes can develop cracks, allowing water to leak out and surrounding soil or debris to enter the pipe. This can lead to blockages and eventual pipe collapse if left unaddressed.

Cast Iron Pipe Problems

Many older homes, particularly those built before the 1980s, have cast iron drain pipes. Over time, these pipes corrode from the inside out, leading to restricted flow, leaks, and eventual failure. If your home has cast iron pipes, replacement or lining options may be necessary to prevent ongoing drainage issues.

Separated Pipes

Soil shifting, foundation movement, or poor installation can cause drain pipes to separate at their joints. This can create a blockage where debris catches at the separation point or lead to leaks that attract further debris buildup.

Can I Use My Other Drains Before My Drain Service?

If the clog is isolated to one branch of your plumbing system, such as a single bathroom, any other drain line in your home should still function normally.

If it's a main sewer line blockage it's best to avoid using water anywhere in the home until a professional drain cleaning is scheduled to resolve the problem. How do you know if it's the main sewer line? If multiple drains across different areas of your home are backing up, this likely indicates a main sewer line issue.

What to Expect During a Drain Cleaning?

How Long Will It Take to Unclog?

Simple sink or shower clogs can often be cleared in less than an hour, while more complex sewer line blockages may take a few hours to resolve. We worked on one sewer line for a day and a half before we got it unclogged!

What Tools Will You Use to Unclog It?

We use a combination of professional-grade drain cleaning tool tailored to the specific blockage:

  • Drain Snakes (Augers): Used for minor to moderate clogs, breaking apart and removing debris inside the pipe.
  • Hydro Jetting: A high-pressure water jet that clears out grease, roots, and other obstructions in sewer lines.
  • Video Camera Inspections: We will always perform a camera inspection to ensure it's safe to run a drain machine, and to find the root cause of the clog.

How Much Will It Cost?

Most drain cleanings fall into our 299 drain cleaning special if they can be accessed without going on the roof of the home. Pricing depends on the severity of the clog and the tools required to clear it. Hydro jetting is usually a middle ground option, and some clogs require sewer line repair which is more expensive. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees, and don't begin any work without your explicit approval.

What If There’s a Bigger Issue?

If drain cleaning reveals a more serious issue, such as collapsed pipes or severe root intrusion, we will provide a full assessment and recommend repair options. We believe in transparency, so you’ll receive a clear breakdown of what’s wrong and what solutions are available.

How Do I Keep It Clear?

Once your drain lines have been cleaned the next step is keeping them clear.

What Happens If It Clogs Again Right After You Leave?

We stand by our work, but some drains can clog again quickly if there’s an underlying issue like root intrusion or pipe damage. If your drain backs up soon after a cleaning, we’ll work with you to determine if a deeper issue needs to be addressed.

How Can I Maintain My Pipes?

Regular maintenance is key to preventing recurring clogs. Some best practices include:

  • Avoid pouring grease, coffee grounds, or food scraps down the drain.
  • Use a drain strainer to catch hair and debris in sinks and tubs.
  • Schedule annual drain cleaning, especially if you’ve had previous issues.
  • Consider using enzyme-based drain cleaners rather than a chemical drain cleaner. Endure Pipe Maintenance breaks down and eliminates organic buildup and keep pipes clear.
  • Consider our Pipeline Membership, which includes regular drain maintenance to keep your plumbing system in top condition.
