Drain Cleaning & Clogged Drains across Greater Orlando
Older neighborhoods with mature trees, such as parts of Winter Park and College Park, can see root intrusion in sewer laterals, while some homes in Longwood and Apopka use septic systems.
Signs you need drain service
- Slow-draining sinks, tubs or showers
- Gurgling sounds from drains or toilets
- Sewage odors indoors or in the yard
- Water backing up in a tub when the toilet is flushed
- Several fixtures clogging at the same time
Common methods plumbers use
- Snaking or augering to clear blockages
- Hydro jetting to scour pipe walls
- Camera inspection to find roots, breaks or sags
- Cleanout access for main line clogs
- Repair or replacement of damaged sections
Avoid pouring grease down drains and flushing wipes, even those labeled flushable. Chemical drain cleaners can be harsh on some pipes, so ask your plumber before using them. Homes on septic systems may need the tank evaluated if multiple drains back up.
Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Grease buildup, tree roots, sagging lines or damaged pipe are common causes. A camera inspection can help identify the issue.
It is often effective, but the right method depends on pipe material and condition. Ask your plumber.
Do your homework
How to Check Your Contractor
Orlando Home Pros connects homeowners with independent providers. We do not perform the work or screen providers for you, so a few minutes of research before hiring is worth it.
Look up the state license
Search the business or license number on the Florida DBPR site at myfloridalicense.com and make sure the status is current. Your city or county may have its own requirements too.
Request proof of insurance
Ask for a certificate of insurance showing general liability coverage and workers' compensation (or a valid exemption), and check the dates.
Research reputation
Review the company's Better Business Bureau profile and read reviews across more than one independent website. Ask for a few recent local references.
Put it in writing
Collect written estimates and sign a written contract that spells out the scope, materials, total price, schedule and any warranty.
Keep deposits reasonable
Be cautious about paying a large amount before work begins. Link payments to finished milestones and keep receipts.
Confirm permits
Check with Orange, Seminole or Osceola County, or your city's building department, whether a permit is required, and make sure inspections are passed.
