COMPREHENSIVE DRAIN & SEWER CARE

Our Full-Service Drain Solutions

Different drainage problems require different solutions. John Nugent & Sons provides a range of services for clogs, damaged piping, sewer problems, and other drain-system concerns.

Drain Clearing: Professional drain clearing can address buildup and blockages that cause slow drainage, standing water, or recurring clogs.
Drain Repair: When a pipe is cracked, damaged, or deteriorated, professional drain repair addresses the line’s condition rather than repeatedly treating the symptom.
Drain Installation: New piping may be appropriate when existing drainage lines are severely deteriorated or when you’re adding or reconfiguring plumbing.
Sewer Line Services: Multiple drains backing up at the same time may indicate a main sewer issue. Our sewer line services can help identify and address main-line problems.
Trenchless Sewer Solutions: When conditions allow, trenchless sewer line service may provide an alternative to more extensive excavation for certain sewer repairs or replacements.
Water Line Services: Underground supply piping problems require a different approach than drain and sewer issues. John Nugent & Sons also provides professional water line services when the home’s incoming water line needs attention.

DRAIN & SEWER FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

To help you better understand your home’s drainage system and our services, we’ve answered some of the most common questions our customers ask.

What causes drains to clog?

Common causes include hair, soap residue, grease, food particles, and other debris that gradually accumulates inside the line. Main sewer lines can also get blocked by roots, damaged pipes, or other obstructions.

Can I just use a chemical drain cleaner?

Chemical drain cleaners may not address the underlying cause of a recurring clog and may not be appropriate for every piping material. A professional can better evaluate persistent drainage problems.

What is the difference between drain clearing and sewer repair?

Drain clearing focuses on removing an obstruction and restoring flow. Sewer repair addresses physical damage or deterioration affecting the sewer line itself.

How can I help prevent clogged drains?

Avoid putting grease, large food scraps, and inappropriate materials down drains. Drain strainers can help catch hair and debris, while professional drain maintenance may help if a home experiences recurring buildup.

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

Possible signs include multiple drains backing up at once, recurring gurgling, persistent sewer odors, or drainage problems affecting several fixtures. A professional evaluation can determine whether the main sewer line is involved.
