Slow Drains and Backups Handled Properly

Drain Cleaning and Clog Removal in Boyd and surrounding areas

When a drain in your Boyd home slows down or stops entirely, water backs up in sinks, tubs, or floor drains and creates inconvenience and potential damage. Kitchen drains clog with grease and food particles, bathroom drains collect hair and soap buildup, and main sewer lines can be blocked by roots or sediment.

Miller's Hometown Plumbing clears clogs in kitchen sinks, bathroom drains, and main sewer lines throughout Boyd using professional equipment like augers, hydro-jetters, and camera inspection tools. We remove grease, hair, soap scum, and tree roots that block flow, and we address buildup before it becomes a full blockage. Preventative maintenance helps you avoid emergency backups and keeps your plumbing working as it should.

What We Do to Clear Your Drains

We start by identifying where the clog is located in your Boyd home, either through visual inspection or by running a camera line through the pipe. For most clogs, we use a motorized drain auger to break up the blockage and restore flow. For heavy grease buildup or main line obstructions, we use hydro-jetting to flush the pipe clean.

Once the clog is cleared, water drains quickly and completely without standing in the sink or tub. You will not hear gurgling sounds from other fixtures, and toilets will flush without hesitation.

We also inspect the condition of your pipes during the process, especially if you have an older home in Boyd with cast iron or clay sewer lines. Tree roots are a common cause of main line blockages, and if we find them, we explain whether cleaning is enough or if a section of pipe needs repair. Regular drain maintenance reduces the chance of clogs forming and keeps your system running smoothly year-round.

Most People Wonder About the Same Things

Homeowners in Boyd often ask about what causes clogs, how long the work takes, and whether store-bought chemicals are safe to use.

What causes kitchen drains to clog?
Grease is the main culprit. It coats the inside of pipes and traps food particles, soap, and other debris. Over time, the buildup narrows the pipe until water can no longer pass through.

Can I use chemical drain cleaners?
We do not recommend them. Harsh chemicals can damage pipes, especially older or plastic ones, and they rarely clear the entire clog. Professional cleaning removes the blockage completely without harming your plumbing.

How long does drain cleaning take?
Most drain clogs in Boyd are cleared in under an hour. Main sewer line blockages or root intrusions may take longer depending on the severity and location of the obstruction.

Why does my sink drain slowly even after I clear it?
Partial clogs or buildup further down the line can cause slow drainage. A camera inspection helps us locate the problem and clear it completely so the issue does not return.

How often should I have my drains cleaned?
For most homes, annual maintenance is enough to prevent buildup. Homes with older plumbing, large families, or frequent cooking may benefit from more frequent cleaning.
