Toilet Drain Cleaning
Toilet clogs, no matter how extreme, can be stressful to resolve on your own. When you call Atomic Plumbing, our experts will get there as fast as possible to help keep your home safe and clean. Our team is accustomed to dealing with just about any bathroom disaster – from a toilet that won’t flush to a toilet whose contents have escaped onto the floor.
We’ll come to your home and, with the greatest sensitivity and attention to sanitary conditions, make the situation right.
With regular cleaning and maintenance, you can avoid most toilet drainage issues. A few tips to keep your water flowing smoothly all year round:
- When regularly cleaning your toilet, remove the lid from the tank and flush to check if everything is working properly.
- Flush ONLY toilet paper. Other paper products, even those labeled as “flushable” can cause major clogs.
- Most household toilet clogs are caused by an overuse of toilet paper. Be conscious of what you are flushing.
Shower Drain Cleaning
Standing in a pool of water every time you shower? Call Atomic to schedule a regular shower drain cleaning, or an emergency drain cleaning for immediate assistance.
You can prevent major shower backups by purchasing a drain strainer or hair catcher. This, combined with use of a drain snake when drainage slows can help avoid an ankle-deep pool!

Commonly Asked Questions
What’s the Rush to Clean Your Drains?
Drain cleaning and maintenance is so important to include on your weekly and monthly task list because it will save you from both unpleasant living conditions and major damage. What’s the rush? On the least serious side of the symptoms of unhealthy drains, bad odors can ruin your day. Do you really want to clean your dishes or get drinking water from a smelly sink? Dirty water buildup and waste from food are the only two of the possible sources of drain odors
You probably also don’t want to be dealing with a slow drain. Washing dishes can take double the time if you have to keep turning off the faucet to let the water go down. It’s also unpleasant to be standing in a foot of water while you’re showering. If that’s not bad enough, water buildup anywhere leads to mildew and mold growth and also attracts mosquitos and rodents
Over time, buildup in your drains can become devastating. Water can leak into the structure of your house or business, floods can damage your floors and furniture, and pipes could even burst. You can also be more at risk of flooding during a heavy rainstorm! Whether you are a home-owner, renter, or business owner, drain maintenance is a must. The best way to easily integrate healthy drain habits into your routine is to learn about what causes drains to clog.
What Can Cause a Drain to Clog?
Another great way to find a trustworthy plumber near you is by checking online reviews and ratings on various platforms, including Google, Yelp, and other customer review sites. You should look at these websites even if you get a referral. However, if nobody you know has experience with the company, online review sites are a great place to start.
By reading other people’s opinions, you can get an idea of a potential plumber’s quality of service, reliability, pricing, and overall customer satisfaction. Just look out for AI-generated or fake reviews that bolster the company’s ratings.
What to Do When Your Drain is Clogged
When a drain is clogged, the first thing people usually grab is a toxic, over-the-counter drain cleaner. Chemical drain cleaners can seem like a quick and easy fix, but any plumber will tell you that they actually wreak havoc on your pipes. Cheap chemicals from the store can erode or alter your drains and pipes as well as destroy your septic systems
When your drains clog, think common household items! You can flush the drains with simple concoctions made of baking soda and vinegar followed by hot water. Hot water is a great way to flush your drains regularly, but if that isn’t enough, follow it with a cup of baking soda and a cup of vinegar
The chemical reaction could break clogs loose with another dose of hot water!
If your sink or drain is overflowing with water to the point that you can’t flush it with baking soda and vinegar, you can try using a plunger. Using a plunger on a dry drain can hurt your pipes, but if there’s water backup, it’ll work in the same way it does on a clogged toilet
Garbage disposals can often be the source of the problem as well. A quick and natural way to maintain your garbage disposal is to grind ice and flush it with hot water. You can also follow that with some lemons to achieve a fresh scent. If the clog is so serious that these household solutions aren’t working, it’s time to call Atomic for an emergency plumbing repair!
