Drain Cleaning in Orlando

Call the Largest Septic & Plumbing Service in Central Florida

At Brownie's, A Wind River Company, we know that regular drain cleaning is a vital service for your system's general health and sanitation. Without at least an annual drain cleaning visit, you're running the risk of creating slow drains, causing backup issues, and allowing rotting waste to fill your home or business with a repulsive stench. With hundreds of gallons flowing through your system on a daily basis, having a clear drain should be a top priority. By having your drain system cleaned regularly, you can help to avoid much larger drain repairs in the future.

Let our Orlando drain cleaning technicians handle the problem for you. We've been keeping our clients worry-free since 1948 with fast, affordable, and honest service. Founded on old-fashioned values, our highly-trained technicians come equipped with the latest tools and up-to-date methods for drain cleaning.

Our Orlando drain cleaning offers highly-effective, proven methods for cleaning your drains:

Electric Drain/Sewer Cleaning Machine: This method uses a series of blades or drills to travel down your pipes to the clog and cut away any roots or debris. Cutting away large chunks of debris creates a wide opening for your sewage and restores normal flow quickly.
Hydro-Jetting: Hydro-jetting is a treatment that uses high-pressure hoses to completely clean the inside of your drains and sewer lines. It clears away what the electric drain/sewer cleaning machines don't cut away, and it washes away the debris so your drains enjoy full efficiency for years to come.

Drains are the gateway between your home's wastewater and the public sewage system. You want your drains to be completely clear at all times-keeping your pipes and fixtures clean and completely sanitary. If you don't, the result could be inconvenient at best, and repulsive at worst. If you're a food service business or own a commercial building, the results could be even more costly.

Call (407) 890-0116 to let us service your drains today! Our technicians are available 24/7 to handle any drain issues you might have.

Causes of Clogged Drains

In addition to water, what flows through your drains often includes hair, soap residue, grease, oils, food waste, and minerals (if you have a hard water issue). Over time, these oils and residues harden into a greasy blockage, which slows the flow of water out of your drains. Given enough time and enough debris, the flow of water could stop completely. When this happens, your drains may begin exhibiting the following symptoms.

Signs of a Blocked Drain:

Your toilets are backing up, overflowing, or not flushing properly
The water in your sinks, toilets, and shower take longer to drain completely
Your drains are starting to emit an unpleasant smell
There is a decrease in your home’s water pressure
Several drains throughout your home are clogged at the same time
There are continual clogs in the same drain

While a professional service is the best way to deal with a blockage or clog, there are a few preventive measures you can take to help keep your drains clear for longer. Investing in a drain grate or screen, flushing your bathroom drains regularly, having cold water running when the garbage disposal is on, and being mindful of what goes down your drains are all steps you can take. However, as mentioned previously, even with precautions taken, a clog can still form and a plumber will need to be brought in.

Dangers of a Drain Clog

Clogs keep your sewage within your home's water system, which increases the likelihood that the wastewater will re-enter your home's fixtures and cause potentially serious health issues. Having a clog in your main sewer line also puts an immediate stop to using your home's plumbing system (or it should – if you're using your plumbing still, you're taking a fairly risky gamble).

Identify the Severity of Your Drain Clog

If only one fixture is clogged, then the clog is located close to the fixture's drain.
If only one room's fixtures are clogged, then the drain is further into the system, but not as far as the main sewer line.
If fixtures from multiple rooms are clogged, your main sewer line is clogged – and you have a plumbing emergency on your hands.

Toilets are the fixtures with the most direct line to your sewer line. If your toilet is seriously clogged (and normal household methods haven't worked), then it's more likely that you have a main line clog.

Top Signs You Need Professional Drain Cleaning

The state of your drainage system in your home isn't something you think about on a day to day basis. That is, until your sink has overflowed or your toilet is over flowing. These are nightmares that no one wants to happen to them. But, how can you tell when your drain is in need of drain cleaning? At Brownie's Septic, we have a couple signs to look for in order to avoid this headache of a problem.

Slow Drains -If your drain isn't draining as quickly as it once did, it could be that the culprit for that is a substance is clogging up your drainage system. It could be hair, grease or even soap scum. Address this problem as soon as you notice it as it won't get better on it's own.
Strange Smells -Odd smells coming from your kitchen or bathroom isn't a normal thing and should be addressed. It could be that sewer gas or waste is sitting in your drainage system and could be the sign of a bigger problem then just drain cleaning. Contact our expert drain cleaning services for professional help.
Frequent Clogging -It isn't normal for your kitchen sink or bathroom shower drain to constantly clog. If you notice that your drains are repeatedly clogging it could be that your home is experiencing a major clog inside of the plumbing system.

Tips to Avoid Clogged Drains

By far the best remedy for clogged drains is prevention. While some blockages are inevitable, a fair amount of drain problems can be avoided entirely by knowing their causes and taking certain steps to keep your drains healthy.

Avoid inconvenient drain clogs with these helpful tips:

Never use your toilets or drains as wastebaskets – when in doubt, throw it out!
Regularly flush your drains with a mixture of boiling water, baking soda, and vinegar to eliminate foul odors and keep buildup to a minimum.
Dispose of fibrous foods, vegetable peels, egg shells, and starchy foods like rice and pasta in the garbage instead of flushing it down the drain.
Only flush small, soft food particles down your garbage disposal and follow it with plenty of water.
Pour cooking grease into disposable containers instead of pouring it down the drain

How to Clear a Clogged Drain

In order to effectively clear your drains of any clogs, it’s best to bring in a professional plumber, who has the experience necessary to successfully clear them of any buildup. With different drain cleaning methods available, it's important to understand how each works.

Traditionally, There Are 3 Ways to Deal with a Drain Clog:

Hydro-jetting
Drain snakes
Drain-clearing chemicals

While Brownie's will utilize whatever solution best suits your needs and your budget, each solution has specific benefits and drawbacks. For instance, drain augers (snakes) might clear your clog, but ultimately it only punches a hole through the debris-sometimes, it doesn't get rid of it for good. The results are immediate and affordable though. Drain cleaners are available off the shelf, but they're not effective on every kind of residue and can harm your pipes. Hydro-jetting is the most permanent solution with the least damage to your pipes.
