Preventive Drain Cleaning

A technician clears buildup from drains before they become fully clogged, which can help keep water moving through your plumbing.

Often A Good Fit When

Your drains are still working, but you'd rather stay ahead of a slow buildup than wait for a full clog.

Pros

  • Addresses buildup before it becomes a full clog
  • Costs less than clearing an active blockage
  • Can help several fixtures at once
  • No obligation to schedule further work

Cons

  • Does not fix an existing clog
  • Buildup can return with normal household use
  • Not a substitute for addressing a damaged pipe
DIY VS PRO

Should you do it yourself?

For a single slow-draining fixture, a plunger is a reasonable first step many homeowners can try themselves.

Clearing a stubborn clog, a blockage further down the line, or a drain that keeps backing up calls for a professional with the right tools to reach it. If a plunger doesn't clear things, a McQuillan technician can take it from there.

DIY versus Hiring a Pro
An Honest Comparison DIY Hiring a Pro

Do the looking. Leave the fixing to us.
