  • What is the difference between drain cleaning and drain clearing?

    Drain clearing and drain cleaning both focus on removing debris from pipes, but their scope and purposes are different. Here's how: Drain clearing is a quick process that targets immediate blockages that stop or slow water flow. Tools like plungers, augers, or snakes are used to dislodge clogs and restore drainage. This is mainly a short-term fix and does not prevent future clogs. Drain cleaning is a more thorough service that removes blockages and cleans the interior of pipes. It eliminates grease, mineral deposits, soap scum, and other buildup. Techniques such as video camera inspections and hydro jetting help restore pipes and reduce the need for future repairs. In short, drain clearing removes an immediate obstruction, while drain cleaning addresses buildup and helps maintain a healthier plumbing system. To determine which service is right for you, contact a plumbing contractor in Cleveland, OH at McHugh's Plumbing Inc.
  • How often should the main sewer line be cleaned?

    In our experience, main sewer lines should be cleaned at least every 1-2 years, but may need more frequent cleanings based on factors such as the type of pipe, the age of the system, or the presence of tree roots in the area. Contact a plumbing contractor in Cleveland, OH at McHugh's Plumbing Inc to see if you're in need of a cleaning.
  • Can I install a sump pump myself?

    Unless you possess both plumbing and electrical skills, it is highly unlikely you will be able to install a sump pump yourself without the help of a plumbing contractor in Cleveland, OH. DIY projects are best suited for things like small renovations-anything involving your home's services can lead to disastrous results if something goes wrong. Professional sump pump installation is advised to ensure correct sizing, drainage, and code compliance.
