Hair, grease, debris, and soap residue build up inside pipes over time, restricting water flow and slowing sink, shower, and tub drainage.

Customer Review

What customers are saying about Michael & Son

A Short Pump homeowner noticed multiple drains backed up simultaneously. Water drained slowly from sinks and tubs, and unpleasant odors started coming from the basement floor drain. The issue worsened until wastewater backed up into the home’s lowest drain.

Solution:

The homeowner contacted Michael & Son for help. Our technicians quickly inspected the system and discovered a major clog in the main sewer line. Using professional equipment, the team removed the blockage, thoroughly cleaned the line, and restored the plumbing system.

Professional, respectful, and thorough…

"We had sewage backing up into our house on a Sunday morning…every homeowner’s nightmare. Michael & Son quickly dispatched Stewart, and he arrived right away. He was professional, respectful, and thorough. He put down liners to protect our floors, wore shoe covers, and got right to work. Within no time, he diagnosed a blockage in our main sewage drain and cleared it quickly and cleanly. We couldn’t have asked for better service. Thank you, Stu, for saving our Sunday!"

FAQs

Sewer and Drain Services FAQs

You can either have your drain lines fixed in the traditional way or the trenchless way. Traditional methods include spot repair and full replacement, and trenchless includes pipe lining and pipe bursting.
The best repair will depend on the condition of your pipes and your budget. Trenchless methods only work if the pipes can handle it, and traditional methods may end up being more expensive.
The two most common methods for unclogging drains are hydro jetting and drain snaking. Drain snaking pokes a small hole through the blockage to restore water flow, while hydro jetting uses a high-pressure stream of water to flush the blockage out.
Hydro jetting is more effective than drain snaking — it removes the whole blockage, lowering the risk of additional clogs. However, drain snaking may be the route to go if your pipes are more fragile or if you're looking for a more affordable solution.
In Short Pump, you're responsible for repairing the parts of the sewer line within your property line. Once it crosses over into public territory, the pipe is now the city's responsibility.
Homeowners' insurance usually only covers damage caused by a burst drain pipe, not the pipe itself (unless you've purchased the correct add-ons). Be sure to review your policy for a specific answer.
