Drain Cleaning & Clog Repair

Clogs or Drain Problems? Call Catons Now for Help with Your Baltimore Home!

A clogged drain is a pesky, mess-inducing inconvenience that can cause serious damage if it goes untreated. One of the most common causes of a clogged-drain is rinsing excess fats or cooking oils down the kitchen sink. Most of us do it from time to time without thinking about it. These liquid fats solidify in the cold pipes and create clogs. For a quick and easy fix, fit all your tubs and shower drains with a strainer that catches hair and soap chips, and clean the strainer regularly.

Whether your clog is in a kitchen drain, basement drain, utility/laundry-room drain or even an outdoor drain, our professionals are here to help.

Pipes

Are caustic liquid drain openers (like Drano or Liquid Plumber) harmful to pipes?

For minor clogs, they’re fine, but never use them on a drain that is completely clogged. The caustic ingredients are trapped in your pipes, and it can severely damage them. If you can’t snake the drain yourself, call Catons to do so. Never use caustic drain openers in a drain that has a garbage disposal.

Why do I hear a vibrating noise in my pipes?

Noises can be fairly common in plumbing supply lines. If a washer in a faucet or valve is loose, you’ll hear it rattling or knocking. If the sound occurs when you open and close faucets rapidly, it generally means pipes are loose, and can be corrected by anchoring pipes more securely. If it really bothers you, you can add air chambers at the end of long pipe runs. Their installation will probably require a plumbing professional.
