What Amherst homeowners want to know about drain cleaning — answered by our licensed plumbers.
Most Amherst homeowners benefit from professional drain cleaning every 1 to 2 years as preventive maintenance. Kitchen drains in households that cook frequently may need annual service. Homes with large trees near the sewer line should have the main line inspected and cleared annually to prevent root buildup from causing backups.
The most common causes of clogged drains in Amherst homes are grease and food particles in kitchen drains, hair and soap scum in bathroom drains, tree root intrusion in main sewer lines, mineral scale buildup from hard water, and flushing non-flushable items that get stuck in the sewer line. Each type requires a different clearing approach.
Drain snaking uses a rotating cable to break through or pull out blockages. It is effective for hair clogs and localized obstructions but leaves residue on pipe walls. Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the full pipe interior, removing grease, scale, and root intrusion completely. For main sewer lines and recurring clogs, hydro-jetting provides more thorough and longer-lasting results.
Yes. Tree roots are one of the most common causes of sewer line problems in Amherst neighborhoods with mature trees. Roots enter through small cracks or joints in older sewer lines and grow inside the pipe, eventually causing recurring blockages, complete blockages, or pipe collapse. Annual hydro-jetting and a root treatment can control root growth and extend line life.
