Question Answers

What should I do if my garbage disposal in my Philadelphia home is jammed?

First, turn off the power at the breaker. Never put your hand down the drain. You can try using a hex key (often provided with the unit) to manually turn the motor from the bottom to free the jam. For persistent jams, motor hums, or leaks, it's best to call a professional like Flow Drain Services. We can safely clear the jam, repair damaged blades, or install a new disposal that's right for your Philadelphia kitchen's needs.

My kitchen sink in Philly is draining slowly. Can hydro-jetting help, and is it safe for old pipes?

Hydro-jetting is highly effective for clearing stubborn grease, soap scum, and debris common in Philadelphia homes. It uses high-pressure water to scour the pipe walls clean. Our technicians will first perform a camera inspection to assess the condition of your pipes. For structurally sound cast iron or PVC lines, hydro-jetting is a safe and thorough solution. If we find weakened or damaged sections common in older Philly homes, we'll recommend the appropriate repair or replacement option first.

I have a recurring clog in my main drain line. Could this be a sewer issue, and do you offer excavation in Philadelphia?

Recurring main line clogs often indicate a problem in the sewer line, such as root intrusion, a belly (sag), or a break—common issues in our older city. Yes, Flow Drain Services provides full excavation services. We use video inspection to pinpoint the exact problem location. If repair is needed, our team can perform targeted trench digging with proper soil backfilling and compaction to restore your yard, all while obtaining any necessary Philadelphia permits. Often, trenchless repair methods are also an option to minimize disruption.
