How Often Should I Schedule Professional Drain Cleaning?

For most homes, once a year is ideal to keep everything flowing smoothly. However, households with frequent clogs or older plumbing may benefit from more frequent service. Routine cleanings prevent buildup that can lead to bigger problems.

Can Store-Bought Drain Cleaners Damage My Pipes?

Yes, chemical drain cleaners can corrode pipes and harm septic systems over time. They’re often a temporary fix and don’t fully clear blockages. Professional tools are safer and far more effective.

Why Do My Drains Smell Bad Even When They Aren’t Clogged?

Foul odors often come from bacteria, grease buildup, or trapped debris in the drain or P-trap. A thorough cleaning removes the source of the smell and helps keep your system sanitary. If odors persist, it could signal a deeper issue.

What’s the Difference Between Snaking and Hydro Jetting?

Snaking breaks up blockages using a rotating cable, while hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to clean the entire pipe interior. Snaking is great for minor clogs; hydro jetting is best for heavy buildup and long-term prevention.

Call Us If Your Drains Start Doing This

If your sinks or showers are draining slower than usual, Olympic Plumbing Technology can help. Drain issues often start small, but they quickly escalate into bigger plumbing problems if left unaddressed. Our team helps homeowners in Olympia, WA, recognize the warning signs early to avoid costly repairs.

Standing water in sinks or tubs: Pools of water that won’t drain signal a serious blockage.
Gurgling or bubbling noises: Unusual sounds from your drains could mean air is trapped due to clogs.
Unpleasant odors near drains: Lingering smells may indicate food, grease, or bacteria buildup.
Frequent clogs in the same area: Repeated issues often mean deeper obstructions in the line.
Water backing up in other drains: If flushing a toilet causes your tub to fill, there’s likely a system-wide issue.
Slow draining across multiple fixtures: A sluggish drain in more than one room suggests a main line problem.

This is Rafael's second visit to our home. Our prior experience was positive, so we didn't hesitate to call again when we needed a new 80 gal water heater installed in our home. Rafael and Connor were prompt and professional. They stayed until they could verify all was in working order and household faucets had proper water pressure. Office staff were friendly and attentive during scheduling and follow up. We highly recommend Olympic Plumbing.

The Olympic Plumbing Technology techs that performed a service call at my home were professional, polite, and personable. They investigated a possible leak and descaled my water heater. They were such great guys that while they serviced the water heater, I hung out in the garage just to chat with them.
