Our Drain Cleaning Process

From first call to final inspection, here is what to expect from Phoenician Plumbing in Lansing, MI.

1

Drain Inspection

Our Lansing plumber inspects the clogged drain — checking the cleanout access, running a camera for main line blockages, or assessing the drain type and flow to determine whether snaking or hydro-jetting is the appropriate approach.

2

Drain Clearing

We clear the blockage using the appropriate method — a drain snake for localized clogs, or high-pressure hydro-jetting for grease buildup, scale, or root intrusion in main lines.

3

Flow Verification

Phoenician Plumbing verifies that all drains are flowing freely at your Lansing, MI property after clearing — running extended flow tests and checking downstream connections to confirm the blockage is completely eliminated.

4

Prevention Advice

Our Lansing plumber explains what caused the blockage and recommends specific prevention measures — whether that is a grease trap for the kitchen, a hair catcher for the bathroom, or annual hydro-jetting for the main sewer line.

Drain Cleaning FAQ — Lansing, MI

What Lansing homeowners want to know about drain cleaning — answered by our licensed plumbers.

How often should I have my drains professionally cleaned in Lansing?

Most Lansing 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.

What is the difference between snaking and hydro-jetting for drains in Lansing?

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.

Can tree roots damage my sewer line in Lansing?

Yes. Tree roots are one of the most common causes of sewer line problems in Lansing 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.

What causes drains to clog in Lansing homes?

The most common causes of clogged drains in Lansing 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.
