Commercial Drain Cleaning & Jetting in New England

Professional drain cleaning is more thorough, provides preventative maintenance, and provides a maintenance log to ease future diagnoses.

Regular drain cleaning prevents clogs, eliminates the cost of repair from damage by clogs, and reduces odors from dirty drain pipes.

Drain cleaners can be safe. But, many chemical-based drain cleaners can be corrosive and damage your pipes. Corrosive chemicals include lye, hydrochloric acid, and trichloroethane. We recommend alternative drain cleaning solutions that do not contain corrosive chemicals. Or, turn to a professional drain cleaning service.

GEM Plumbing has cutting-edge equipment for all of your drain cleaning needs. Our hydro jetting equipment uses a special pressurized water hose that clears and maintains your pipes to properly clean any type of debris from your drain system.

During a drain cleaning service appointment, a licensed technician will inspect your system. They will then run a drain cleaning machine through your drains and pipes to clear out the source of the clog. Once the clog has been cleared, the technician will ensure that your fixtures are all working properly, then run a final inspection through your drain system using a camera.

Drain clogs are often caused by debris buildup. Depending on where the drain is located, the type of debris will range and may include food scraps, oil, hair, and even tree roots.

If your drain is clogged, try these steps to resolve the issue. Turn on the faucet and fill the sink partly with water. If you have a double kitchen sink, plug one of the drains with a wet rag. If you’re trying to unclog the bathtub, plug the overflow hole with a wet rag. Next, use a cup plunger to plunge the open drain. Work the plunger up and down several times, then pull it off. Repeat this step a few times. If your drain is still clogged, call GEM Plumbing for professional help. Remember, never use chemical drain cleaners as they can be extremely harsh and cause corrosion to your pipes.

We recommend cleaning your bathroom, kitchen, and utility room drains at least once a year. Hair, soap scum, toothpaste, grime, toilet paper and other bathroom products can build up in your bathroom drain system and cause serious damage to your drains over time. With soaps, fats, grease and food all going down the drain in your kitchen sink, the inner walls of your kitchen pipes can easily get clogged, causing unwanted backup, even if you run your garbage disposal regularly. Dirt, debris, and other messes from daily life can clog up the floor drains in your basement, laundry room and/or utility room, leading to poor drainage and the potential for flooding.
