From first call to final inspection, here is what to expect from Phoenician Plumbing in Somerville, NJ.
Our Somerville plumber inspects the clogged drain — checking the cleanout access, running a camera for main line blockages, or assessing the drain type and flow to determine whether snaking or hydro-jetting is the appropriate approach.
We clear the blockage using the appropriate method — a drain snake for localized clogs, or high-pressure hydro-jetting for grease buildup, scale, or root intrusion in main lines.
Phoenician Plumbing verifies that all drains are flowing freely at your Somerville, NJ property after clearing — running extended flow tests and checking downstream connections to confirm the blockage is completely eliminated.
Our Somerville plumber explains what caused the blockage and recommends specific prevention measures — whether that is a grease trap for the kitchen, a hair catcher for the bathroom, or annual hydro-jetting for the main sewer line.
What Somerville homeowners want to know about drain cleaning — answered by our licensed plumbers.
Most Somerville homeowners benefit from professional drain cleaning every 1 to 2 years as preventive maintenance. Kitchen drains in households that cook frequently may need annual service. Homes with large trees near the sewer line should have the main line inspected and cleared annually to prevent root buildup from causing backups.
Chemical drain cleaners are generally not recommended for Somerville homes with older plumbing. The caustic chemicals can accelerate corrosion in metal pipes and degrade older PVC joints over time. They also rarely clear blockages completely and can make the problem worse by causing debris to compact. Professional drain cleaning by Phoenician Plumbing is safer and more effective.
The most common causes of clogged drains in Somerville homes are grease and food particles in kitchen drains, hair and soap scum in bathroom drains, tree root intrusion in main sewer lines, mineral scale buildup from hard water, and flushing non-flushable items that get stuck in the sewer line. Each type requires a different clearing approach.
Recurring drain clogs in Somerville homes usually indicate an underlying issue beyond the immediate blockage — pipe scale that makes the interior rough and catches debris, a partially collapsed pipe section, persistent root intrusion, or an improperly sloped pipe that allows solids to settle. Phoenician Plumbing uses camera inspection to identify the root cause of recurring drain problems.
