Recurring clogs aren’t “bad luck.” In many Point Breeze rowhomes, drain lines, venting, and fixture habits combine to create repeat backups—especially in kitchens and main stacks.
Why clogs keep coming back
- Grease buildup in kitchen lines over time
- Partial blockages that never get fully cleared
- Older pipe sections with rough interiors catching debris
- Improper pitch or sagging sections holding water
- Venting issues that slow drainage and cause gurgling
The fix isn’t always the same
A proper service call identifies whether the issue is: fixture-level, branch-line, main line, or vent related. Then we match the method to the problem—so you’re not paying for repeated “quick clears.”
Common solutions we provide:
- Drain cleaning targeted to the blockage location
- Leak repair where corrosion has thinned the pipe wall
- Trap and connection upgrades for better flow
- Toilet repair and flange checks to prevent seepage
- Advice on usage habits that reduce buildup long-term
