What causes clogged drains?

Clogs are typically caused by hair, grease, soap scum, food waste, or foreign objects. In sewer lines, tree roots and buildup over time are also common causes.

Can I use store-bought drain cleaner?

We don’t recommend it. Chemical drain cleaners can damage pipes, especially older systems, and often provide only a temporary fix. Our methods are safer and more effective.

How do I know if I have a sewer line clog?

Signs include multiple slow drains, gurgling toilets, sewage odors, or water backing up in strange places (like a shower when the toilet flushes). We offer camera inspections and sewer cleaning.

Is drain cleaning covered by your emergency services?

Yes! We offer 24/7 emergency drain cleaning in Birmingham. Whether it’s a weekend or after-hours, we’re ready to help.

How long does drain cleaning take?

Most clogs can be cleared in under an hour. If the issue is deeper in the line or requires inspection, we’ll explain the timeline and options before getting started.

What’s the best way to prevent future clogs?

Avoid flushing anything but toilet paper, don’t pour grease down the drain, and use drain strainers. We also recommend annual drain inspections for older homes.

Do you clean outdoor drains too?

Yes, we clean yard, driveway, and downspout drains when they become clogged with debris or roots. Just let us know where you’re having trouble.

Is drain cleaning safe for all types of plumbing?

Absolutely. We tailor our tools and techniques to match your pipes, ensuring a safe clean without any risk of damage.

My experience with Aux was excellent, start to finish. A neighbor recommended them. My initial contact and request for a service call was seamless. Tyler, the technician who visited my home (the very next morning) to service the water heater, did an excellent diagnostic, and reviewed the pros and cons of replacing the 12 year old water heater. I was living on borrowed time with the old unit. Tyler was very professional, made some improvements to the piping connections, and convinced me of the benefit of becoming a member in their annual service contract for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical. He was in and out within 4 hours, including a trip to his warehouse for the new water heater. I highly recommend AUX Mechanical services!
