Causes of Drain Problems
Many routine activities cause buildup that eventually clogs drains. Globs of toothpaste, soap, hair conditioner, and other waxy, oily, or thick substances create layers of buildup over a period of months.
In the kitchen, grease, oil, and other fats lead to drain clogs. Hair, lint, and bits of paper or shed skin cells stick in the oily, waxy or greasy materials. A big clump of toilet paper or a glob of starchy food may clog a drain.
Other items that may clog drains include pests, dirt, menstrual care products, baby diapers and wipes, plastic wrappers, and tree roots. In some cases, an item falls into a drain or gets flushed by mistake. This also causes obstructions that require professional drain services.
Signs You Need a Drain Repair
It’s crucial to arrange a repair at the first sign of a problem. Waiting could make the situation worse. Some signs that you need drain repair services:
- Bad odor from drain
- Sink or tub empties slowly
- Gurgling or bubbling sounds from drains
- Water backs up into the toilet, tub, shower, or sink
- A puddle of water forms after the drain was clear

What Our Drain Repair Services Include
Our plumbers use high-quality equipment to evaluate your drain issue and find the cause and location of the clog. We offer video inspections on drains with a 2-inch or larger diameter pipe.

- Augering: this involves clearing the obstructed drain with a series of blades.
- Bursting: if a drain has collapsed, we offer bursting and repair services.

FAQ: Drain Repair Services at Apollo Plumbing
What causes most drain clogs?
Common causes include grease, hair, soap, food waste, paper products, and foreign objects. Over time, these materials build up and block water flow.
How do I know if my drain needs repair instead of cleaning?
If you notice recurring clogs, foul odors, or water backing up after cleaning, your drain may be damaged or collapsed and require professional repair.
Can I use chemical drain cleaners?
No. Chemical drain cleaners often damage pipes, especially older ones. Professional hydro jetting or augering is safer and more effective.
How often should I schedule a professional drain inspection?
Once a year is best. Regular inspections prevent buildup and identify problems before they lead to major repairs.
Do you offer emergency drain repair services?
Yes. Apollo Plumbing provides 24/7 emergency drain repair for Everett and surrounding areas. Our Ready Right Now Plumbers are always on call to handle urgent issues.
What types of drains can Apollo Plumbing repair?
We service all residential and commercial drains — including kitchen, bathroom, laundry, basement floor, and main sewer lines.
What methods do you use for drain repair?
We use advanced tools like hydro jetting, augering, cable line clearing, bursting, and pipe relining to repair drains efficiently and safely.
Can a damaged drain be relined instead of replaced?
Yes. If the drain is structurally sound but cracked or corroded, pipe relining is often a cost-effective alternative to full replacement.
