Drain & Sewer Line Cleaning

One of the most common plumbing problems home owners’ experience is slow or clogged drains. With over 20 years serving the plumbing needs of residents of Central Maryland, Apple Plumbing, Heating, & Air has the skills, procedures, and all the cutting technology needed to take care of drain and sewer line cleaning needs.

If you are having problems with just one fixture, like a toilet that won’t flush or a tub that won’t drain, there is probably a clog just at that fixture. Common causes of clogged drains are:

• Kitchen drain lines from food, grease, and soap scum buildup

• Toilet clogs from non biodegradables like baby wipes, too much toilet paper, and the occasional kids toy!

• Shower/Bathtub drains from hair, soap, and other debris that finds it way down the tub drain

• Bathroom sink drains from toothpaste, soap, hair, shaving cream, and lotions causing scum buildup (and yes we retrieve jewelry…. a lot!)

• Laundry tub/washing machine drains from lint and soap buildup

• Floor drains in basements, garages, outdoor stairwells, patios, etc. that become filled with dirt and debris

If your whole house is backed up, you probably have a clog or break in your sewer line. Common causes of sewer line clogs include:

• Tree root infiltration

• Flushing baby wipes, paper towels, q-tips, and other non biodegradable items down the toilet

Apple Plumbing, Heating, & Air takes care of all sewer and fixture clogs, sewer line repair and replacement (city and septic), and sewer pipe location services.

With state of the art equipment ranging from hand tools to cameras to 3/4hp rooting machines we have the technology to take care of a poor flushing toilet to a whole house backing up.
