Get Your Drains Flowing Again

A slow drain may seem minor at first, but it can be an early sign of a developing blockage. Grease, hair, soap residue, food debris, mineral buildup, and other materials can gradually restrict water flow. More serious blockages can cause backups or affect multiple fixtures.

Burbank Plumbing provides drain cleaning and clog removal for residential and commercial properties throughout Burbank. Licensed plumbers assess the drainage problem, identify the likely cause, and determine the appropriate way to clear it.

For urgent situations, 24/7 emergency plumbing service is available. The goal is to restore proper drainage while addressing the problem appropriately rather than simply treating the immediate symptom.

 

Common Drain Problems We Handle

Drain problems can develop gradually or appear without warning. Common issues include:

 

Slow Drains

Water that drains slowly can indicate buildup or a developing blockage. We identify the cause and restore proper water flow.

 

Completely Clogged Drains

A drain that will not drain can quickly disrupt your routine. We locate the blockage and clear it to restore normal drainage.

 

Recurring Clogs

If the same drain keeps clogging, there may be an underlying issue. We investigate the cause instead of repeatedly treating the symptom.

 

 

Drain Backups

Water or wastewater backing up through a fixture can indicate a serious blockage. We assess the problem and work to restore proper drainage.

 

 

Multiple Clogged Drains

When several drains are affected at once, the blockage may be deeper in the system. We identify where the drainage problem is occurring.

 

Gurgling Drains

Gurgling sounds can indicate restricted water flow or trapped air inside the drainage system. We inspect the issue and determine the appropriate repair.

 

 

Foul Drain Odors

Persistent drain odors can come from buildup, stagnant water, or drainage problems. We find the source and address the underlying issue.

 

Standing Water

Water that remains in a sink, shower, or floor drain indicates restricted drainage. We identify the blockage and work to restore proper flow.

 

Toilet Drain Clogs

A stubborn toilet clog can quickly become disruptive, especially when plunging does not help. We clear the blockage and check for deeper issues.

Emergency Drain Cleaning When You Need It

Not every clogged drain requires emergency service. However, some drainage problems should be addressed immediately.

Consider emergency drain cleaning when:

  • Wastewater is backing up into the property
  • A drain is overflowing
  • Several fixtures are affected
  • A major blockage prevents essential fixtures from being used
  • Water backs up when another fixture is running
  • A floor drain is backing up
  • A severe clog is causing unsanitary conditions

Professional Clog Removal

A plunger or household drain cleaner may help with a minor blockage, but recurring or stubborn clogs can require professional attention.

Burbank Plumbing handles clogs affecting sinks, showers, tubs, floor drains, laundry drains, and other residential and commercial fixtures. The approach depends on the location, severity, and likely cause of the blockage.

Professional clog removal can help:

  • Clear stubborn blockages
  • Restore normal water flow
  • Address recurring drainage problems
  • Remove accumulated debris
  • Determine whether a deeper drainage issue is present
