Bloomingdale Drain Cleaning Experts

We Know Bloomingdale's Plumbing Challenges

FloTek Plumbing has been clearing drains in Bloomingdale for years. We understand how the older homes in this area develop specific drainage issues, and we’ve seen what works and what doesn’t.

Our technicians are licensed, insured, and equipped with the right tools to handle everything from simple kitchen clogs to complex sewer line blockages. We’re not the company that shows up with a basic snake and hopes for the best.

Our Drain Cleaning Process

How We Clear Your Drains Right

First, we inspect your drain to understand what we’re dealing with. Not all clogs are the same, and using the wrong approach can damage your pipes or leave the problem partially solved.

Next, we use the appropriate equipment for your specific situation. This might be high-pressure water jetting for grease buildup, specialized augers for hair clogs, or camera inspection for deeper issues you can’t see.

Finally, we test the drain thoroughly and clean up completely. You’ll see the difference immediately – water flowing fast and clear, no odors, no gurgling sounds. We also let you know if we found any underlying issues that could cause problems later.

You get upfront pricing before we start, so there are no surprises on your bill. Our service includes thorough cleaning, testing to ensure proper flow, and a clear explanation of what we found and what we fixed.

If your drains are running slowly, making gurgling sounds, or producing bad odors, it’s time for professional cleaning. You should also call us if you’ve tried store-bought drain cleaners or basic plunging without success. These are signs that the blockage is deeper or more complex than surface-level clogs. Water backing up into other drains when you use a sink or shower definitely requires professional attention, as this indicates a main line issue that won’t resolve with DIY methods.
Professional drain cleaning, when done correctly, won’t damage your pipes. We inspect your plumbing first and choose methods appropriate for your pipe material and age. Many Bloomingdale homes have older cast iron or clay pipes that require specific techniques. We avoid harsh chemicals that can corrode pipes and use mechanical cleaning methods or controlled water pressure that clear blockages without causing damage. Store-bought chemical drain cleaners are actually more likely to damage older pipes than professional cleaning methods.
Most drain cleaning jobs take 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the severity and location of the blockage. Simple sink or shower clogs usually clear quickly, while main sewer line blockages or multiple affected drains take longer. We’ll give you a realistic time estimate after our initial inspection. Complex jobs that require camera inspection or extensive cleaning might take longer, but we’ll keep you informed throughout the process so you know what to expect.
Kitchen drains typically clog from grease, food particles, and soap buildup. Bathroom drains collect hair, soap scum, and personal care products. In Bloomingdale’s older homes, we also see issues from pipe deterioration, root intrusion, and settling that creates low spots where debris accumulates. Hard water in this area contributes to mineral buildup that narrows pipes over time. Understanding these causes helps us provide more effective cleaning and recommend maintenance that prevents future problems.
Most homes benefit from professional drain cleaning every 1-2 years as preventive maintenance. However, this varies based on usage, pipe age, and local water conditions. Homes with older plumbing, large families, or previous recurring clogs may need more frequent service. We’ll assess your specific situation and give you a realistic recommendation based on what we find during cleaning. Regular maintenance is almost always less expensive than emergency calls when drains back up completely.
Yes, we provide emergency drain cleaning when you’re dealing with sewage backups, multiple blocked drains, or situations that could cause water damage. We understand that some drain problems can’t wait for regular business hours. Emergency service does carry additional charges due to after-hours availability, but we’re upfront about pricing before we start work. For non-emergency situations like slow drains, scheduling during regular hours is more cost-effective and gives us better working conditions to solve your problem thoroughly.
