  • How often should I have my drains cleaned?

    The frequency of your drain cleaning will depend on the age of your plumbing system, usage, and the presence of any recurring issues. In general, drains should be cleaned once a year by a professional plumbing service.

  • Can I use chemical drain cleaners instead of professional drain cleaning?
