Drain Cleaning
Slow drains, standing water, or foul smells coming from your sinks and tubs can all point to one thing—your drains need a serious cleaning. At Miami Plumbing Contractors, we provide professional drain cleaning services throughout Miami that get rid of clogs fast and help prevent bigger plumbing problems down the line. Whether it’s your kitchen sink, bathroom tub, or the main sewer line, our team knows exactly how to clear it out and get things moving again.
Why Miami Homes Need Professional Drain Cleaning
Living in Miami means dealing with a unique mix of plumbing challenges. Between aging infrastructure, high humidity, heavy rainfall, and sandy soil, your drains can become a magnet for clogs and backups. Many homes in the area—especially older properties—were built with cast iron or clay pipes that are now deteriorating, narrowing your drains and causing more frequent issues. Store-bought drain cleaners often make things worse, corroding your pipes and only offering a temporary fix.
That’s where Miami Plumbing Contractors comes in. Our professional drain cleaning services go beyond just clearing blockages—we identify what’s causing the problem in the first place. Using advanced tools like video camera inspections and hydro jetting machines, we can see exactly what’s happening inside your drains and remove even the most stubborn buildup. Whether it’s grease, hair, food waste, scale, or invasive tree roots, we’ll remove it safely and completely.
Our team is trained to work on all types of drain systems found in Miami homes and small businesses. That includes kitchen sinks, floor drains, bathroom tubs and showers, laundry lines, toilets, and even main sewer lines. We don’t just get your drains flowing—we make sure they stay that way. With regular maintenance and expert attention, you can avoid the stress and mess of a full-on backup or flood.
Hydro Jetting for a Powerful Clean
When a plunger or snake won’t do the job, it’s time to bring in the heavy-duty solution—hydro jetting. This method uses high-pressure water to blast away years of built-up gunk, grease, roots, and scale from the inside walls of your pipes. It’s incredibly effective and leaves your drains clean as new without the need for harsh chemicals or invasive digging.
Hydro jetting is ideal for Miami’s older homes with cast iron pipes, as well as for newer homes with PVC plumbing that may still suffer from clogs due to heavy use. It’s also a smart choice for preventative maintenance. If your drains are slowing down or your sewer line backs up repeatedly, we’ll use hydro jetting to give it a full reset.
Our hydro jetting machines are calibrated to the right pressure for your specific pipes. We assess the material and condition of your system first, then carefully guide the jetting hose through your drains for a full clean. Because it’s water-based and chemical-free, hydro jetting is safe for the environment and safe for your family too.
Drain Camera Inspections: No More Guessing
If your drain problems keep coming back, there’s likely a deeper issue going on—and it’s not something you can see from the surface. That’s why Miami Plumbing Contractors offers camera inspections with every professional drain cleaning. Our waterproof, high-resolution cameras give us a clear view of your pipes from the inside, showing cracks, corrosion, obstructions, and other problems in real time.
With this information, we can recommend the most effective fix, whether that’s hydro jetting, pipe relining, or a targeted repair. It also helps you avoid unnecessary work or expenses. For example, if your main sewer line is partially collapsed or invaded by roots, a quick snaking won’t be enough—but a video inspection lets us pinpoint the problem and act accordingly.
We record the inspection so you can see the condition of your pipes too. Whether you’re buying a new home, selling your property, or just want peace of mind, a sewer camera inspection from Miami Plumbing Contractors gives you a clear picture—literally—of what’s going on underground.
Common Drain Issues We Handle
Every home in Miami has different plumbing quirks, but most drain problems fall into a few common categories. Here’s what we deal with most often:
- Grease Build-Up: Cooking oils and fats may seem harmless when washed down the sink, but they harden inside your pipes and trap debris, leading to clogs.
- Hair and Soap Scum: Bathroom drains are notorious for slow draining thanks to long hair and soap residue collecting over time.
- Tree Root Intrusion: Older homes with clay or cast iron sewer lines are especially vulnerable to roots growing into joints and breaking through the pipe.
- Scale and Mineral Buildup: Miami’s hard water leaves behind mineral deposits that narrow your drainpipes and reduce flow.
- Foreign Objects: Kids’ toys, cotton swabs, wipes, and other items can easily get flushed or dropped into drains, creating blockages.
No matter what’s causing the clog, we’ll clear it—and give you advice on how to prevent it from happening again.
