Clogged and slow drains.
Slow or clogged drains are one of the most common plumbing problems in a house. Hair, grease, soap, food and dirt build up in sink, shower and tub drains until the water stops moving.
We clear the clog with professional equipment and get the water flowing again, without the harsh chemicals that eat at older pipes. Cleaning a drain properly also stops the smells and the backups that come with a partial clog.
- Bathroom sinks, tubs and showers that drain slowly
- Kitchen sinks backed up with grease and food
- Gurgling drains and bad smells
- Floor drains and laundry drains
Sewer backups and main line clearing.
When sewage backs up, it is more than an inconvenience. It is a health risk for your family. Tree roots, grease and debris can block the main sewer line and cause real damage if they are not cleared quickly.
We clear tough blockages in the main line and restore proper flow. If something keeps causing the clog, like roots getting into the line, we tell you what we found and what the options are.
What it costs: our minimum service charge is $175 per hour plus materials. The price is explained before any work starts.
We had a blockage in the sewer line at a rental home in Ellensburg. Excel Plumbing responded quickly with their equipment and extracted a large root wad from the line. We appreciate their excellent service and knowledgeable plumbing technicians!
Same-day aim, clean finish.
A backed-up drain does not wait, so same-day service is our aim during business hours, Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 4:30 PM. When we leave, the work area is cleaned up. That is guaranteed.
One drain or the main line?
Where the clog is decides the fix. One slow sink or tub is almost always a clog close to that fixture. Several fixtures backing up at once, a floor drain bubbling when the washer drains, or water coming up in a tub when the toilet flushes all point to the main line out of the house.
- One fixture slow: a local clog, usually hair, soap or food
- Several fixtures slow: a partial blockage further down the line
- Gurgling or bubbling in other drains: a main line problem
- Sewage in the lowest drain: stop using water and call
Keeping drains clear.
Grease is the big one in kitchens: it goes down warm and hardens in the pipe. Hair is the big one in bathrooms. Tree roots find their way into older sewer lines. A few habits help, like a strainer in the tub and grease in the trash, and when a line keeps clogging, we tell you what we found and what would actually stop it.
Before you call.
Tell the office which drains are slow (one fixture or several), whether anything is backing up, and whether it has happened before. Several slow drains at once usually points to the main line, which changes what we bring.
