Common Signs of a Clogged Drain

Not all clogs are obvious—some build slowly, with subtle symptoms. The earlier you catch the warning signs, the easier (and cheaper) the fix.

Watch for these signs of drain problems:

  • Water drains slowly from sinks, tubs, or showers
  • Toilet bubbles or gurgles when you flush
  • Foul odors near drains or in bathrooms
  • Water backs up into sinks or tubs
  • Standing water in laundry or basement floor drains
  • Recurring clogs in the same location
  • Gurgling or sucking sounds in pipes
  • Sudden wet spots in the yard (may indicate a sewer issue)

If you notice any of these issues, don't wait. A small clog can become a full-blown backup—and the damage isn't worth the risk.

What Causes Drain Clogs?

Drain clogs are a fact of homeownership, especially in older homes or households with heavy water usage. The most common culprits vary depending on the fixture and location.

Typical causes include:

  • Hair and soap scum in bathroom drains
  • Grease, fat, and food particles in kitchen sinks
  • Baby wipes, feminine products, and paper towels in toilets
  • Tree roots infiltrating underground sewer lines
  • Mineral deposits from hard water
  • Foreign objects accidentally flushed or washed down
  • Collapsed or cracked drain pipes in older plumbing systems

We go beyond the clog to determine the true cause—and provide long-term solutions, not quick fixes.

Advanced Diagnostic Tools: Drain Cameras & Locators

Not sure what's causing the blockage? Hansen uses advanced video inspection technology to see exactly what's happening inside your pipes. Our waterproof drain cameras give us a real-time view of your drain and sewer lines, allowing for precise diagnosis and no guesswork.

Camera inspections help us:

  • Locate the exact source and nature of the clog
  • Identify pipe damage, corrosion, or offsets
  • Verify whether roots or foreign objects are involved
  • Confirm pipe slope and integrity
  • Avoid unnecessary digging or demolition
  • Provide evidence for insurance claims, if needed

Once we've diagnosed the issue, we'll walk you through what we see and explain the most efficient way to fix it.

Snaking vs. Hydro Jetting – What's the Difference?

We offer both mechanical snaking (augering) and high-pressure hydro jetting, depending on your home's needs.

Snaking (Rootering):

  • Best for simple clogs and soft obstructions
  • Uses a flexible steel cable with a cutting head
  • Breaks up and pulls out hair, grease, debris
  • Ideal for sinks, tubs, toilets, and small lines
  • Fast and cost-effective for common issues

Hydro Jetting:

  • Uses high-pressure water (3,000+ PSI) to scour pipes
  • Ideal for major blockages and sewer line clogs
  • Removes grease buildup, roots, and hardened deposits
  • Cleans entire pipe walls—not just a small channel
  • Prevents future clogs with a deep clean

We'll assess your system and recommend the best method to solve your problem and protect your pipes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Drain Cleaning in Huntley, IL

Local Answers from Hansen's Expert Residential Plumbing Team

Clogs are typically caused by hair, grease, food particles, soap scum, paper products, and tree roots. In bathrooms, hair and product buildup are the top culprits. In kitchens, grease and food waste are usually the issue. Sewer line clogs are often caused by tree roots, collapsed pipes, or years of debris buildup.

If your sink, tub, or toilet is draining slowly, making gurgling sounds, or backing up—it's time to call a pro. Foul odors, water backing up into other fixtures, or frequent clogs in the same spot also indicate a deeper problem that requires professional tools and diagnostics.

No. Chemical drain cleaners can damage your pipes and only provide a temporary fix. At Hansen, we use mechanical snaking, hydro jetting, and camera inspections to solve the root of the problem safely and thoroughly.

Yes. Avoid flushing wipes or feminine products, use drain strainers in sinks and tubs, and never pour grease down the kitchen drain. We also offer preventative drain maintenance plans that include regular inspections and cleanings to catch problems early.

Absolutely. We provide 24/7 emergency service for overflowing toilets, floor drain backups, or sewage coming up in tubs and showers. Our team arrives fast, with all the equipment needed to stop damage and restore flow.

Frequently Asked Questions About Drain Cleaning in Huntley, IL

A camera inspection allows us to see inside your pipes in real time. We use it to locate the clog, inspect pipe condition, and confirm a full cleaning after service. It's especially valuable for recurring clogs, unknown blockages, or sewer backups.

Snaking uses a flexible cable to break up or remove clogs and is great for minor blockages. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to clean the entire pipe interior—perfect for grease buildup, sludge, and tree roots in main sewer lines.

If multiple fixtures are draining slowly or backing up at the same time, especially toilets or floor drains, it usually points to a sewer line blockage. Gurgling sounds and sewer odors are also signs. We'll use a camera inspection to confirm the location and severity.

Not when done by professionals. Our methods are safe for PVC, copper, cast iron, and other residential piping. Hydro jetting is powerful but safe when handled by trained technicians who know how to regulate pressure and flow.

For preventative maintenance, most homes benefit from annual drain cleaning, especially in older homes or properties with trees near sewer lines. However, if you notice slow drains between cleanings, don't wait—early intervention prevents major backups.

Costs vary based on the location, severity of the clog, and method needed. Simple sink or tub drains typically cost less than main sewer line cleaning or hydro jetting. We provide clear upfront pricing before starting work, so there are never surprises.
