Boston Plumber Offers Drain Cleaning Service

Author A slow-flowing or stopped drain may indicate a clog in the line. One-time or frequent drain clogs in your home indicate a problem for one of our professional plumbers to fix. Call us at HUB Plumbing & Mechanical to clear your drains and get things flowing again. We have been setting the industry standard for plumbing service in Boston since 1999.
Bottles of drain-clearing solutions sold at the stores may be tempting, but they only mask the problem by moving the clog further down the line, where it becomes more difficult to treat. These chemicals may also hurt the plumber you call out to fix the drain. Instead of resorting to caustic chemicals to clear your clogs, call us first to get the drain cleared correctly the first time. One of our plumbers will come out to your home and assess the situation. He will then determine the best method for clearing the drain, whether the problem originated in the fixture trap, sewer lines, or other portion of the line.
There are different means of clearing a drain line, depending on the location of the clog, its size, and the type of piping used in the drain line. Our plumbers have both snake drain cleaning and Hydro Jetting, which uses high pressure water jets, options available. Only an experienced plumber can determine which of these methods to use for a clog and how to most effectively implement the tool to clear the drain line.
When you need a drain cleaning service, don’t just call any Boston plumber, call the best at HUB Plumbing & Mechanical. We do not just operate at the industry standard, we set the standard to which other plumbing companies in the Boston-area aspire.
For drain cleaning, or any other service we provide, call us at HUB Plumbing & Mechanical at 617- 418-1005 to set an appointment today.

How to Handle a Clogged Drain
Clogged drains are one of the biggest – and most common – household problems for residences large and small. As common as it is, a clogged drain can quite simple to manage. It can be fixed quickly and inexpensively.
Some may say to buy chemical liquid drain cleaners (Drano, Liquid Plumr, etc.) to handle clogs. Others may say to just purchase a plumbing snake. Then you have others who would just yield to a professional – such as our expert Boston MA plumbers at Hub Plumbing & Mechanical. Truth is, most clogged can be treated with basic items that you use around the house.
Before anything else, use a sink plunger. They look like the plungers used on toilets, but they’re smaller. Plungers are relatively cheap, but if you would much rather save that money, try some of the items around your kitchen.
Baking soda and white vinegar are three items that should be used more than just for cooking purposes. A half-cup of baking soda teamed with a half-cup of vinegar can make a reliable solution that will break away debris that can affect a drain. Pour the baking soda, then follow it with the vinegar. If it’s working correctly, the two will form a foamy substance that will eat away at the debris. Make sure this is an overnight process, and the following morning, pour very hot water down the drain. Your drain will thank you, as the clog disappears.
If these tips don’t work, you may want to give our plumbing professionals a call, as the problem may be a little more complex than expected. Our Boston plumbing company can detect all issues and prevent them from causing further drain and pipe damage. Call us today, or visit us online for more information.
