Sink and tub clogs in Alhambra
If the basin or tub holds water for minutes after you are done, the clog is likely close by. Text (310) 628-9399 with which drain and how slow.
Close to the fixture
Hair wraps around the pop-up rod in a sink and the plunger or linkage in a tub. Soap scum, thicker in hard-water homes, glues it all together.
We remove and clean those parts first, then open the trap or use a short hand auger.
No caustic shortcuts
Chemical openers seldom clear hair and can leave a hazard in the trap. Hand tools are more reliable and gentler on older drain joints.
Older Alhambra bathrooms can have brass or galvanized drain parts that do not like being forced.
Building-wide or house-wide backups
In a duplex or apartment, a backup that affects more than one unit, or several fixtures at once, sits in a shared line. We root that line with a powered machine; see drain rooting.
Once the line is open, we can take care of stoppers, traps and spouts.
