Preventative Measures

Taking the necessary precautions can prevent you from needing a drain cleaning, as foreign objects won’t have time to cause a blockage. The City of Tacoma Wastewater Services has provided a checklist of items that should not be flushed or washed down your drains to prevent stoppage, clogs, and sewer backups.

One measure that you can take is having one of our technicians stop by regularly to preemptively clean your drains. That way, you will never end up with a clogged drain and will always have great drainage in every room in your home.

Another thing that you can do is place screens on each of the drains in your home. This prevents large particles from going down the drain, helping to keep these areas clean.

When you have a significant clog in your drain, we have special equipment that cuts right through it and carries the obstruction out to the city main sewer line. We also use a mini camera, which ensures that we have successfully removed every last bit of whatever was causing the clog. Our drain inspection camera is on a long flexible cord that can view and record the inside of drains. The video of the inspection can be saved and provided to you for insurance or home inspection purposes.
