Prevent Drain Clogs
It should go without saying that the first step to keeping your drains in good shape is taking a few precautions ahead of time. These preventative measures can save you time and money, making them worth the effort.
Installing screens over your drains is a good first step to take because it can catch debris before it has the opportunity to cause a clog. These screens come in a wire or mesh material and intercept hair and food chunks as they enter your sink, ensuring they don’t get into your pipes and create an obstruction. It’s worth noting that you’ll want to clean these covers every few days because they tend to fill up with debris quite quickly.
Another preventative measure involves simply keeping an eye on everything you put into your sink. Yes, dumping grease and oil into your sink is an easy way to get rid of it, but this practice is a bad habit to get into because it leads to clogs.
A final step you might take is bringing a technician from Hunt’s Services to your home every few months to conduct some preventative maintenance. By having one of our plumbers preemptively remove any obstructions that are forming before they have the chance to cause a clog, you can keep your plumbing fixtures functioning at optimal levels.

While prevention is an excellent first step, it isn’t foolproof because there are always things that can go wrong. Debris will still make its way into your drains from time to time, and clogs can eventually form as a result.
These clogs are annoying, and they can also cause damage around your home if you don’t address them right away, so you’ll want to contact Hunt’s Services to address the problem early in the process.
Once we receive your call, we’ll send a licensed and certified technician to your home to have a look. This plumber will probably begin the job by using a specialized camera to look into your drains and identify the issue. This sewer camera inspection is an excellent diagnostic technique because it provides a visual of the obstruction so that we can move onto the next step.
That next step could involve a clog removal technique called hydro jetting. The idea is that we have a tool that sends a highly pressurized yet completely safe stream of water into your drain to eliminate the obstruction. This technique works well when grease and other items are stuck to the drainpipe.
We also have equipment that cuts right through any clogs and dislodges the debris. From there, we can use water to push the material through your sewer line and all the way to the city main.
After the clog is gone, we’ll do another camera inspection, just to make sure there’s nothing left that could quickly obstruct your drain again in the near future.
Call Hunt’s Services at 253-533-7500 to have one of our technicians inspect and alleviate your drain clog.
