Q&A: Drain Cleaning in Alpine Hills, Mobile, AL — Everything You Need to Know

If you live in Alpine Hills, you’ve probably had this happen at least once:
You turn on the faucet, and the water just… sits there. Or worse — you flush the toilet and hear gurgling from the shower.
What’s going on? And when do you need professional help?

At Adams Plumbing & Drain Company, we handle drain cleaning in Alpine Hills homes every week. Here’s a Q&A guide to help you know what to watch for — and when to pick up the phone.

❓Why is my sink or tub draining so slow?

The short answer? Build-up.
Over time, things like:

• Hair
• Soap scum
• Food grease
• Mineral deposits
  …start collecting inside your drainpipes, narrowing the opening until water can’t flow freely.

It’s not just gross — it can turn into a complete blockage if ignored.

❓I tried Drano and it didn’t work. What now?

You’re not alone. Most over-the-counter drain cleaners:

• Don’t fully remove the clog
• Can damage your pipes (especially PVC or older lines)
• Are just temporary band-aids

We use safe, professional-grade tools to fully clear the blockage — without harming your plumbing.

❓What’s that bubbling sound when I flush or drain?

That’s trapped air in the line — and it’s a sign of a larger issue.
If you hear gurgling:

• When flushing the toilet
• While running the sink or tub
• Or from another room entirely…

…your main drain line might be partially blocked, and the pressure is pushing air and water back through other fixtures.

❓What do you actually do during a drain cleaning?

When we come to clean your drain, we:

1. Ask questions and inspect the problem
2. Use snakes, augers, or jetters (depending on the issue)
3. Test the system afterward to ensure flow is restored
4. Let you know if deeper sewer problems might be developing

We don’t just fix it and leave — we explain what caused the problem and how to prevent it next time.

❓How often should I get my drains cleaned?

For most Alpine Hills homes, we recommend:

• Every 12–18 months for kitchen/bathroom drains
• Immediately if you notice backups, smells, or slow flow
• Before selling your home (adds value and confidence)

Drain cleaning is cheap compared to a backup or sewer flood — especially with Mobile’s clay-heavy soil and shifting lines.
