Where the problem appears, how often it happens and which fixtures are affected can provide important clues. When appropriate, a drain camera can help investigate conditions inside the line.

Drain-cleaning methods depend on the location and nature of the problem. The goal is to use an approach suited to the drain and the conditions found during the visit.

When drain problems keep returning, the next step may involve looking more closely at the drainage or sewer system rather than treating every blockage as an isolated clog.
Environmental Plumbing completed a main drain cleaning at a Barrhaven property. A backwater valve was also noted as part of the home's drainage system.
This is the kind of real local work our plumbers encounter: assessing the drainage system, working directly at the main drain and determining the appropriate next step based on the conditions at the property.
Drain problems are only part of your home's plumbing system. Environmental Plumbing also helps Barrhaven homeowners with water heaters, leaks, sump pumps, plumbing fixtures, pipes and other plumbing concerns.

Leaks • Pipes • Overflows
Hot Water
No hot water, inconsistent temperatures or concerns about an existing water heater? A plumber can assess the system and discuss the appropriate next step.
Environmental Plumbing provides water heater repair and installation services for Barrhaven homeowners.
Repair • Replacement • Installation
Leak Detection
Water stains, moisture, dripping fixtures or an unexplained plumbing problem may require a closer look to determine where the water is coming from.
Finding the source helps determine what needs to be repaired rather than simply treating the visible symptom.
Find the Source • Plan the Repair
Sump Pumps
A sump pump is an important part of managing water around many homes. Existing pumps can be assessed when they are not operating as expected.
We can also discuss sump pump installation or replacement based on the plumbing setup at the property.
Installation • Repair • Replacement
Advanced Drain Cleaning
Drain Cleaning Option
Some drain problems may call for high-pressure water cleaning rather than conventional drain snaking. Hydrojetting can be used to remove certain types of buildup and debris from drain lines when appropriate.
The right method depends on the drain, the symptoms and what is found during the assessment.

Fixtures
Replacing a faucet, sink, toilet or another plumbing fixture involves more than simply making the new fixture fit the space.
Existing plumbing connections and the requirements of the new fixture should be considered as part of the installation.
Faucets • Sinks • Toilets
Pipe Repairs
Leaking, damaged or deteriorated piping may require repair or replacement depending on its condition, location and role in the plumbing system.
An assessment can help determine the extent of the problem and what repair options make sense.
Drain Lines • Water Lines
Water Quality
Water treatment systems can help address specific concerns about the water used throughout your home.
Environmental Plumbing can discuss water softener and filtration options based on your home's plumbing setup and water-treatment needs.
Water Softeners • Filtration
Water Supply
Shut-off valves allow water to be isolated when plumbing fixtures or supply lines need maintenance or repair.
Older, leaking, damaged or difficult-to-operate valves may need repair or replacement depending on their condition.

A few simple habits can help you spot plumbing problems earlier, reduce the chance of clogs and water damage, and know what to do when something goes wrong.
Find your home's main water shut-off before you need it. It is commonly located near where the water service enters the home, often in a basement or utility area.
Chemical drain cleaners can create hazards for anyone working on the drain and may not address the cause of a recurring blockage. If you've already used one, tell your plumber.
Check under sinks, around toilets, near water heaters and around visible piping for moisture, staining or dripping. Finding a leak earlier can help limit additional water damage.
Pipes in colder or poorly insulated areas can be more vulnerable to freezing. Insulating exposed piping and paying attention to colder areas of the home can help reduce the risk.
Strainers can help keep hair, food particles and other debris from entering drains and contributing to a blockage.
Keep wipes, paper towels, hygiene products and other non-flushable items out of the toilet. These materials can contribute to drain and sewer blockages.
Letting the plumber know what product was used helps them understand what may be present in the drain before they begin.
