[Home](/) 2. Drain Cleaning # Drain Cleaning in Lake City & Gainesville, FL Every drain in your home slowly collects grease, soap scum, hair, food waste, and mineral deposits. Over time that buildup narrows the pipe until water drains slowly or stops altogether. Store-bought chemical drain cleaners may open a small channel for a while, but they rarely clear the pipe completely, and repeated use can be hard on older plumbing. The plumbers at **Glenn I. Jones Home Services** use professional drain cleaning equipment to clear the blockage and restore full flow, not just punch a hole through it. We will also let you know if what we find points to a larger problem, such as a damaged pipe or a [sewer line issue](/plumbing/sewer-line-services). ## Drains We Clean - **Kitchen Sinks:** Grease and food waste are the most common causes of kitchen clogs. - **Bathroom Sinks, Tubs & Showers:** Hair and soap scum build up quickly in bathroom drains. - **Toilets:** Stubborn or repeated toilet clogs that a plunger will not fix. - **Laundry & Floor Drains:** Lint and debris can back up laundry standpipes and floor drains. - **Main Drain Lines:** When several fixtures back up at once, the problem is usually in the main line. ## Warning Signs of a Drain Problem - Water that drains slowly or pools in sinks, tubs, or showers - Gurgling sounds from drains or toilets - Unpleasant odors coming from drains - Water backing up into a tub or shower when a toilet is flushed - Clogs that keep coming back after you clear them Multiple slow drains at the same time, or sewage odors in or around the house, usually mean the blockage is further down the line. Those problems should be looked at promptly to avoid a backup into your home. ## Tips to Keep Drains Flowing - **Keep Grease Out of the Sink:** Let cooking grease cool and throw it away instead of rinsing it down the drain. - **Use Drain Screens:** Inexpensive strainers catch hair and food before they reach the pipe. - **Flush Only Toilet Paper:** Wipes labeled “flushable,” paper towels, and hygiene products are a leading cause of toilet and sewer clogs. - **Schedule Periodic Cleaning:** Homes with older plumbing or a history of clogs benefit from routine professional drain cleaning. ### Count on Glenn I.
