Commercial Drain Cleaning & Camera Inspection
Is the water in your sink or lavatory refusing to go down the drain? Maybe you have water backing up into a toilet. It is likely because a sink, lav, or sewer line is clogged. Something is obstructing the path where the water needs to flow. While it is much quicker and easier to unclog a sink or lav drain than a main sewer line, it is important that you hire a professional to make sure the clog is removed properly as to not harm your buildings pipes and fixtures.
Sewer Drain Cleaning
Team Plumbing has employed the most qualified technicians with years of experience in sewer and drain cleaning procedures. Over the years, Team Plumbing has had the opportunity to obtain multiple sewer and drain cleaning machines, so that we can properly serve everybody’s needs. Every building has multiple drain sizes, and each drain requires the proper sized drain cleaning machine. By having the ability to meet the needs of so many drain sizes, it ensures we can do the job more quickly and accurately to reduce the intrusiveness on your building.

There are a few things to be aware of to help avoid clogged drain lines:
- Grease is one of the most common causes of clogged drains in the kitchen and break rooms. When grease is drained down a sink while cooking, in time the grease will solidify and impede the passageway. The grease will solidify faster if you run cold water during or after you pour it down the drain.
- Food may also be slowing down your drain. Even if it wasn’t intended to be there. Scraps get stuck on dishes and rinsed off, build up until it blocks the path. Although you may think that softer foods won't clog the drain, it only takes one hard piece of food to pass through and cause softer food particles to stick and block the path completely.
- Foreign objects can also find their way down your drain. You may also accidentally drop something like a piece of plastic, wrapping, or a cap from cosmetics down the drain. They typically flow unreservedly until they get to P-Trap, where they have the best chance at getting lodged.

- Toilets have the most direct path to the sewer and the biggest drain line in the house. If a sewer drain problem arises, your toilets will be affected. It is atypical to have a main line sewer stoppage where the toilets are working properly.
Strange Reactions When Using Fixtures - The next thing to look for when you suspect a sewer drain clog are any strange reactions when using your plumbing.
- Flush The Toilet - If flushing the toilet causes water to back up or come up into another drain, this is generally a sign of a sewer drain block.
- The flushed water that can not go down the sewer drain flows back up the pipes and comes out at the lowest point which is usually a drain.
- Use The Sink - Search for trapped air in the plumbing. Run water in your lavatory or sink closest to the toilet for a minute or two. If the toilet bubbles or you see water rising in the bowl, then it is very likely the main sewer line that is blocked, not the toilet.
