Drain Cleaning · Mishawaka, IN

Clogged drains and main lines, cleared by cable or jetter

Drain cleaning opens clogged and slow drains in homes and businesses across St. Joseph County and Elkhart County. The clog may be in one sink line or in the main sewer line out of the building. We find the clog and clear the line so water drains again.

At ASAP Poop, drain cleaning sits next to our septic services in Mishawaka and our sewer line work. We pick a drain cable or a jetter based on what is in the pipe. Call (574) 254-7667, and our office in Mishawaka sets up a time. We look at the job and put the quote in writing before the work starts.

What causes a clogged drain?

Kitchen lines collect grease and food scraps. Bathroom lines catch hair and soap. Toilets clog when wipes or paper towels go down with the toilet paper. Outside, tree roots can find a weak joint in the main sewer line and grow inside.

The drains that act up tell you where to look. A clog in one sink line slows that sink and nothing else. A main line clog shows up all over the house, often first at the lowest drain. Flush a toilet, and water may rise in the tub or a basement floor drain.

On a home with a septic system, slow drains all through the house can be a septic problem. We do septic tank pumping too, so one company can handle the tank or the line.

Cable or jetter: how our drain cleaning service clears a line

Drain cleaning often starts with a drain cable, which many people call a snake. The cable is long and flexible, with a cutting head on the end. We feed it into the line and spin it through the clog. Hair and paper break apart and wash on down the line.

A cable suits a single clog in a sink or toilet line. It opens a path, and some grease or sludge can stay on the pipe walls. When a line clogs again soon after cabling, hydro jetting is the next step. Its high-pressure water scours the pipe walls clean.

We choose the method after we hear how the line has been acting. Kitchen lines heavy with grease often go straight to jetting, at homes and businesses alike.

Clogged main lines in Mishawaka homes

Mishawaka's Sewer Maintenance Department looks after more than 200 miles of city sanitary and storm sewers. The lateral from your house to the sewer main in the street is another matter. The city puts its upkeep, routine cleaning included, on the homeowner.

Some Mishawaka homes share one lateral with the house next door. The city's sewer insurance page says it separates shared laterals between two homes when it finds one. A clog in a shared stretch can back up into both houses.

We clear laterals on city sewer and the line out to the tank on septic homes. Drain cleaning removes what sits inside a pipe. A cracked or sagging pipe needs sewer line repair instead.

FAQ

Drain Cleaning Questions, Answered

Common questions about drain cleaning around Mishawaka and the rest of St. Joseph and Elkhart Counties. If yours is not here, call and ask.

Call (574) 254-7667

How much does drain cleaning cost?
Price comes down to where the clog sits and what it is made of. A hair clog in one sink line clears quicker than roots deep in a main line. How easy the line is to reach matters too, and so does cable versus jetter. We look at the job and put the quote in writing before any work starts.
Why does my drain keep clogging after it was cleaned?
A repeat clog usually means the cause is still there. Roots grow back through the same joint, and a sag in the pipe keeps collecting waste. Habits matter too, since grease and wipes build a new clog over time. When a clog keeps returning to one spot, the pipe itself may need work.
Are chemical drain cleaners safe for a septic system?
The EPA's septic care guide says to avoid chemical drain openers on a clogged drain. Your tank depends on bacteria to break down waste, and those chemicals can kill the bacteria. For a clogged drain, the guide suggests boiling water or a drain snake. If the clog stays put, call (574) 254-7667.
How can I keep my drains from clogging?
Wipe greasy pans with a paper towel and put it in the trash instead of rinsing grease down the sink. Flush only toilet paper and waste, and put wipes in the trash. A hair catcher over the shower drain helps the bathroom lines.
Do you clean drains for businesses?
Yes. We clear drain lines and main sewer lines at businesses as well as homes. Restaurant kitchen lines collect grease, and jetting scours it off the pipe walls. Restroom lines in offices and shops clog too, and a drain cable often opens them.
Do you clean drains outside Mishawaka?
Yes. We clean drains across St. Joseph County and Elkhart County, including Granger, South Bend, Elkhart, Goshen and Nappanee. See the towns we serve, or call (574) 254-7667.

Had a septic emergency and they were able to send a tech out within an hour to clear the tank. Fast, friendly service. Both the dispatcher and the technician were informative and knew exactly what we needed. Highly recommended.
