What Causes Drain & Sewer Blockages?
Drain clogs are one of the most common plumbing issues homeowners face. Though all drain clogs slow down and even eventually stop drainage in a sink, tub, or shower, the cause of the blockage can vary extensively. Sewer lines are also prone to backup over time, which can result in foul sewer odors, sewage backup, or even burst sewer pipes.
The most common causes of drain and sewer blockages include:
- Hair buildup
- Fat, oil, and grease
- Tree root intrusion
- Food waste
- Small objects
- Toilet paper
- Mineral buildup
- Offset pipes
No matter how careful you are about what goes down your drain, eventually your pipes will need to be cleaned. If it’s time for a drain cleaning, rely on the professionals at Townsend Energy. Are your drains slowing down? Let our plumbers diagnose the source of the issue and provide an effective solution.

Why Hire a Drain Cleaning Professional?
Many people are hesitant to hire a plumber for professional drain cleaning when they can just pick up a bottle of chemical drain cleaner from the hardware store. It does the same thing, right? Wrong. While you may feel like you're saving some money by skipping the service call, chemical drain cleaners can easily cause more problems than you started with, which will certainly cost more in the long run.
Because these products are made with highly corrosive chemicals, they'll eat through the clog, but they may also eat through your pipes as well. There's no guarantee that the problem won't come back because these products don't actually treat the root of the problem. Plus, you have the added worry of dealing with a dangerous substance that can cause injury if not handled properly.
When you call our Marblehead drain cleaning professionals, you can have peace of mind that your drain clog will be dealt with using the right tools and without the use of harsh chemicals for lasting results.

Always prompt, friendly, professional. Getting a plumber the same day or next day is amazing. I’ve worked with a few different employees at various times and they’re all happy to explain what they’re doing and what my options are for fixes. They’re not cheap, but it doesn’t feel like you’re being taken for a ride on price - I’ve been told when relevant that the best option is to order a simple replacement part myself because it’s more affordable. They always wear shoe covers when coming from outside which is very helpful for keeping the floors clean.- Emily P.

We lost our water heat yesterday morning temporarily. Jason showed up today (within the time specified), checked out the system, explained what happened, showed us how to fix the problem if it ever happens again...all very clear explanations!!! We couldn't be happier! Polite, clean, professional. We'd give 10 stars if we could!- Satisfied Customer

We used Bartlett and Steadman (now Townsend Energy) for a huge AC installation job in our Salem home. The house is old so it was a complex job, and the guys smashed it. They worked hard, were professional throughout the whole process, and communication was always great.- Victoria E.

Called me back quickly following my quote request and came out same-day. Found a few issues with my tankless water heater and explained the options and cost on the spot. Had parts in stock and fixed the same day. Extremely competent, professional, and friendly.- Andrew B.
