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.

Preventive Drain Maintenance for a Smooth-Running Plumbing System

Regular drain maintenance is crucial to keep your plumbing system running smoothly and prevent costly blockages and backups. At Townsend Energy, we offer comprehensive preventive drain maintenance services to ensure your drains and sewer lines are in optimal condition.

Benefits of preventive drain maintenance include:

  • Preventing clogs: Our professional plumbers will use specialized tools and techniques to remove any buildup or debris in your drains, preventing clogs from forming.
  • Reducing odors: Regular drain maintenance helps eliminate foul odors caused by stagnant water or organic matter trapped in the pipes.
  • Improving water flow: By removing any obstructions in your drains, preventive maintenance ensures proper water flow, preventing slow drains and backups.
  • Extending the lifespan of your plumbing system: By keeping your drains clean and free from blockages, you can extend the lifespan of your pipes, reducing the need for costly repairs or replacements.

Don't wait for a drain blockage or backup to occur. Contact Townsend Energy today to schedule your preventive drain maintenance and keep your plumbing system running smoothly.

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.

Drain & Sewer Line Repair & Replacement

Blockages are not the only problems that can arise with your drain and sewer lines. These pipes are also prone to cracks, punctures, corrosion, misalignment, and a host of other issues that can develop over time. These types of problems often result in leaks in and around your home. Regardless of what kind of damage your pipes have incurred, you can count on our team to repair or replace them.

Common signs that it’s time to repair or replace your drain or sewer lines include:

  • You notice foul smells coming from your drains
  • Your drains are slow or not draining at all
  • You have wet spots in your lawn
  • There are gurgling noises in your drains
  • You see lush patches of grass
  • You have sewage backups and blockages
  • Your walls and ceilings have water damage

When you are experiencing any of the above issues, contact our experienced plumbers for reliable repair and replacement services. After carefully evaluating your pipes, we will advise you on the best options for resolving the situation.

How can I prevent drain blockages?

Can I use chemical drain cleaners?

We do not recommend using chemical drain cleaners as they can damage your pipes and do not address the root cause of the problem. It's best to rely on professional drain cleaning services for lasting results.

    "I don’t expect to ever need to call another plumbing company. I’d recommend them to anyone."
    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.

    "Our very old thermostat failed right before a cold snap during which we’d be out of town."
    Bartlett & Steadman (now Townsend Energy) were available the same day we called, showed up promptly, and made a quick replacement with a new thermostat they already had on hand, saving us so much stress and trouble. Thank you!!!
    - Hannah B.
    "Great service with super knowledgeable technicians that take the time to explain everything very well."
    This is the second time I’ve used this company and they’re great
    - Matthew D.
    "SO impressed!!!"
    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!

    "So pleased with the results."
    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.
    "Fantastic. Highly recommended."
    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.
    "As always the guys did a great job. Arrived on time, we’re professional and efficient."
    - Nick C.
    "Prompt, efficient, knowledgeable, and courteous."
    Jason, our technician, was excellent. He diagnosed the problem fast and knew exactly how to do the repairs. The office staff is friendly and helpful.
