Fox Plumbing and Water Treatment - Des Moines's Trusted Plumbing Service

The most effective prevention is installing a simple hair catcher in your shower drain and avoiding pouring grease or harsh chemicals down any drain. For homes with persistent issues, we recommend a professional plumbing inspection. Our team at Fox Plumbing can assess your pipes for early signs of buildup and perform a thorough hydro-jetting service to clear existing blockages and help prevent future clogs common in our area.

Yes, slow-draining kitchen sinks in Des Moines are very often caused by grease and food particles solidifying in the pipes. We strongly advise against using chemical drain cleaners, as they can damage your pipes. Our expert technicians can safely diagnose the issue using a camera inspection if needed. We then use specialized tools to clear the grease clog completely and can discuss garbage disposal maintenance or repair to help prevent the problem from recurring.

A professional plumbing inspection by Fox Plumbing does more than just check for clogs. We examine your entire system for leaks, corrosion, and water pressure issues that are common in older Des Moines homes. We also test your water quality. If we find contaminants or hard water—common local concerns—we can install or repair a water purification system. This protects your plumbing from scale buildup and ensures your household has clean, safe water for drinking and bathing.
