The kitchen sink
When a kitchen sink basin fills and will not empty, grease, food scraps and soap that have built up in the drain may be the cause. If the dishwasher side backs up as well, say so, because it shows how far down the blockage is.
Drain Cleaning in Mooresville
Water that stands in a sink or creeps away from a tub is a drain telling you its line is partly or fully blocked. We connect you with a local plumber when you call, and the plumber clears it and looks for what caused it.
Which drain is acting up tells the plumber where to start, so here is how each one differs.
Where the clog is
Bathroom sinks, tubs and showers
Hair and soap can narrow these drains over time. A slow tub or shower can be one small blockage or a sign of a bigger one further along.
Laundry and floor drains
When the washer overflows its standpipe or a floor drain fills with water, the blockage sits downstream of that drain.
The main line out of the house
If several drains slow down together, or one gurgles whenever another runs, the main line carrying everything out of the house may be partly blocked. The plumber you hire finds the blockage and clears it.
Between the house and the sewer main
Under the Town’s policy, the owner keeps the building sewer line clear from the house out to the main, which includes the main line leaving the house.
If you are not sure whether the blockage is yours or the Town’s, the emergency plumbing page covers who to call first.
Drain cleaning and the license law
The state treats two jobs differently. A plumbing drain can be cleared without falling under the licensing statute, but connecting, repairing or altering drain, waste and vent piping does fall under it.
If the clog is out in the sewer line, that page takes over, and if the real trouble is a fixture, the fixture page does. The homepage lists the other services for Mooresville homes.
