Drain cleaning and drainage services in Northern and Southern New Jersey

Drain problems aren't just an inconvenience; they pose a potential threat to the comfort, hygiene, and even the integrity of your home or business. Clogged drains, slow-draining water, unpleasant odors, and worst of all, flooding can occur at the most inopportune moment. In such a situation, you need a reliable, efficient, and experienced partner. Drain Care Advocate is just that, specializing in professional drain cleaning and cleaning throughout Northern and Southern New Jersey.

A sewer system is a complex network of pipes that endures significant stress on a daily basis. Over time, various deposits accumulate inside the pipes: grease, hair, food debris, soap, mineral salts, and even tree roots. This buildup gradually narrows the pipes, slowing water flow, and ultimately leading to complete blockage.

The consequences of a clogged drain can be quite serious:

1. Unpleasant Odors: Rotting organic deposits inside the pipes cause a foul odor that permeates the entire room.
2. Slow Drainage: The shower or sink begins to fill with water, and the toilet does not flush properly.
3. Flooding: A complete clog can lead to backflow of wastewater from toilets, sinks, shower trays, or basement drains, which can cause significant property damage and create unsanitary conditions.
4. Damaged Pipes: Constant pressure and stagnant corrosive substances can lead to corrosion, cracks, and even pipe failure, requiring costly repairs.
5. Health Risks: Wastewater contains bacteria and viruses that pose a serious threat to human health.

That's why timely and professional drain cleaning is not a luxury, but a vital measure for maintaining the cleanliness, hygiene, and functionality of your home or commercial property.

Drain Care Advocate offers a full range of drain cleaning and unclogging services, leveraging cutting-edge technology and years of experience. Our approach is based on a deep understanding of clog mechanisms and a commitment to providing not just a "solution," but long-term "prevention."

Our Main Services:

1. Emergency Drain Clearance: Clogs never wait. Drain Care Advocate is available 24/7 for emergency dispatch and prompt removal of any clogs, from kitchen sinks to main sewer lines. Our technicians are equipped to quickly respond and restore your system to working order.
2. Mechanical Drain Clearance: This is a classic and effective method for removing most household clogs. Specialized electric coils of varying lengths and thicknesses with attachments penetrate deep into pipes, breaking up and removing hair, grease, soap, rags, and other hard deposits. This method is ideal for localized clogs in sinks, toilets, showers, and bathtubs.
3. High-Pressure Hydro-Jet Cleaning: Hydro-jetting is one of the most powerful and effective drain cleaning methods. A powerful jet of water under very high pressure penetrates pipes, cutting and washing away even the most stubborn deposits: hardened grease, sand, silt, mineral deposits, and even embedded tree roots. Unlike mechanical cleaning, which creates a channel through the clog, hydro-jetting completely cleans the inside of the pipe, restoring its original diameter. This is an ideal solution for regular prevention and treatment of chronic clogs, especially in commercial properties and main lines.
4. Video Inspection of Sewer Pipes: Before beginning work or to diagnose recurring problems, Drain Care Advocate uses miniature waterproof cameras that are inserted into the pipes. This allows you to get an accurate visual representation of the internal pipe surface, determine the location and cause of the blockage, and assess the overall condition of the system. Video inspection is an indispensable tool for accurate diagnosis, repair planning, and confirmation of cleaning effectiveness.
5. Preventive Maintenance: "The best defense is a good offense." Drain Care Advocate offers customized preventive maintenance plans for residential and commercial properties. Regularly scheduled pipe cleaning helps prevent serious blockages, extends the life of your sewer system, and saves you money on emergency repairs.
6. Odor Elimination: If the source of the odor is buildup inside the pipes, our cleaning methods effectively eliminate the cause, restoring freshness to your space.

To minimize the risk of clogs, Drain Care Advocate recommends following these simple rules:

• Don't dispose of grease down the sink: Allow grease to cool and solidify, then dispose of it in the trash.
• Use mesh strainers: Install them on all drains to catch hair, food debris, and small debris.
• Be careful with garbage disposals: Don't use them for bones, corn cobs, coffee grounds, eggshells, or fibrous foods.
• Limit the use of chemical drain cleaners: They can damage pipes and often only provide temporary relief.
• Flush pipes with hot water: Routinely flush drains with very hot water for several minutes. • Schedule a professional cleaning: Regular preventative hydro-jetting will help keep your pipes in tip-top condition.
