Clogged Drain? We Clear It and Keep It Flowing

A-Fordable Plumbing & Mechanical provides professional drain cleaning in Sterling Heights and throughout Macomb and Oakland County. We clear kitchen, bathroom, laundry and floor drains and explain how to prevent the clog from coming back. Call (248) 371-0494.

Slow drains are usually the first sign of buildup or a partial blockage. Store-bought chemicals can damage pipes and rarely remove the full clog, so the problem keeps returning.

Our technicians use professional tools to clear the line completely, then tell you what caused it. If we see signs that the problem is deeper in the main sewer line, we will explain that too.

Warning Signs

Signs You Need Professional Drain Cleaning

Slow Draining Sinks

Water that pools in the sink or tub points to buildup narrowing the pipe.

Recurring Clogs

Clogs that return a few days after plunging have not been fully cleared.

Bad Odors

Smells from drains often come from trapped food, grease or hair decaying in the line.

Gurgling Drains

Gurgling sounds mean air is trapped behind a partial blockage.

Toilet Backups

A toilet that clogs often or overflows may have a blockage further down the line.

Standing Water at Floor Drains

Water around a basement floor drain can signal a clog or a main line issue.

Common Causes

What Causes Clogged Drains

Most clogs come from everyday buildup. Knowing the cause helps prevent the next one.

Grease & Food Waste

Cooking grease, oils and food scraps harden inside kitchen lines over time.

Hair & Soap Scum

Hair combines with soap residue to block tub and shower drains.

Wipes & Paper Products

So-called flushable wipes and excess paper are a leading cause of toilet clogs.

Mineral Scale

Hard water leaves deposits that slowly narrow the inside of the pipe.

Disposal Misuse

Fibrous and starchy foods can jam the disposal and clog the drain below it.

Foreign Objects

Toys, jewelry and other items that end up in drains and toilets.

FAQ

Drain Cleaning Questions

Still have questions? Call our team and we will help you figure out the next step.

Call (248) 371-0494
Should I use chemical drain cleaner?

We do not recommend it. Harsh chemicals can damage pipes and usually only clear part of the clog. Professional cleaning removes the blockage completely.

How do I know if it is a drain clog or a sewer problem?

One slow fixture is usually a drain clog. If several fixtures back up at once, the main sewer line is likely involved. See our sewer line service page for more.

How can I prevent clogged drains?

Keep grease out of the sink, use drain strainers in tubs and showers, only flush toilet paper, and run plenty of water with the disposal.

Do you clean commercial drains?

Yes. We clear drains for restaurants, offices and other commercial properties across Macomb and Oakland County.

How quickly can you come out?
