Signs You Need Professional Drain Cleaning
DIY drain cleaning remedies, especially chemical drain cleaners, may seem convenient, but they can damage your plumbing if done incorrectly or used frequently. They also rarely clear the clog completely, so your clog will likely come back at some point.
Signs you need professional drain cleaning include:
- Slow-draining water in sinks and showers
- Gurgling drains
- Foul sewage odors coming from your drains
- Frequent or recurrent clogs
How To Avoid Clogged Drains
Preventing clogged drains starts with being mindful of what goes down them. Even if you have a garbage disposal, certain materials will still get stuck inside your drain pipes, leading to backups.
Avoid sending these items down your sink, shower, and toilet drains:
- Grease and cooking oils
- Coffee grounds
- Eggshells
- Fruit pits, peels, and rinds
- Paper towels
- Feminine hygiene products
- Kitty litter
- Hair
Remember, prevention is key to avoiding clogged drains. Call (410) 413-3549 to request preventative drain cleaning from our expert team.
Drain Cleaning Tools & Process
United Air Temp uses various tools to unclog drains depending on the type of drain and the extent of the clog.
- Plungers are effective for sink, shower, and toilet drains. It creates pressure to loosen and dislodge clogs.
- Drain augers are used by professional plumbers. They have long cords that are inserted into the drain to break up and pull out stubborn clogs.
- Hydro jetting is a powerful drain-cleaning method that uses high-pressure water to blast through tree root infiltration, mineral buildup, and corrosion.
We may conduct a video pipe inspection to determine the source and cause of the blockage if you have particularly difficult clogs or clogs in multiple fixtures.

Fixture Drains vs. Main Drains
Understanding the difference between fixture and main drains can help you determine the urgency of your drain clog.
Fixture drains stem directly from your sinks, toilets, bathtubs, and showers. Main drains are in your walls and feed into the main sewer line. If you have a main drain clog, you need to avoid using any connected drains until the clog is resolved.
United Air Temp can help with any clog. We provide:
- Sink drain cleaning
- Toilet drain cleaning
- Bathtub and shower drain cleaning
- Main drain cleaning
