Frequently Asked Questions
What are the common signs that I need drain cleaning services?

Why is my water draining slowly?
Slow draining water is usually caused by a clog or obstruction in the drain. This can be due to a buildup of organic material, hair, soap scum, or other debris. Professional drain cleaning can effectively remove these blockages and restore proper drainage.
What causes bad smells coming from my drains?
Bad smells from drains are often caused by a buildup of organic material, such as food particles, grease, or hair, that decomposes and produces odors. Thorough drain cleaning by Absolute Services can eliminate these smells by removing the buildup.
How can I prevent sewage backflow?
Preventing sewage backflow involves regular maintenance and cleaning of your drains to ensure there are no blockages in the sewer line. Installing backflow prevention devices can also help protect your home from sewage backups. Absolute Services can assist with both maintenance and installation.
What should I do if I have standing water in my sink?
If you have standing water in your sink, it indicates a significant blockage in your drain. Avoid using chemical drain cleaners, as they can damage your pipes. Instead, contact Absolute Services for professional drain cleaning to safely and effectively clear the blockage.
Can I use chemical drain cleaners to fix a clog?
While chemical drain cleaners can sometimes clear minor clogs, they can also damage your pipes and are not effective for severe blockages. It’s best to rely on professional drain cleaning services from Absolute Services to ensure your drains are cleaned safely and thoroughly.
What is the process for professional drain cleaning?
Professional drain cleaning typically involves inspecting the drains with a camera to identify blockages, using specialized tools like drain snakes or hydro jetting to remove the clogs, and ensuring the entire drain system is clear and functioning properly.
How often should I schedule drain cleaning?

What should I do if I hear gurgling noises in my pipes?
Gurgling noises in pipes often indicate a blockage or venting issue. This can cause air to become trapped and create gurgling sounds. Contact Absolute Services to diagnose and resolve the issue to prevent further problems.
