Quality Service Company, LLC does drain cleaning in Florence, SC and the Pee Dee region. We clear kitchen, bathroom and main-line drains with the right equipment for the pipe.
Store-bought drain chemicals can be hard on pipes. A plunger often just pushes the clog a few feet down the line.
Before any work starts, your tech quotes it and tells you what helps keep the drain clear.
What usually causes a clogged drain?
Most clogged drains in homes come down to four things.
- Grease and food in kitchen lines
- Hair and soap in bathroom drains
- Wipes and paper towels, even the ones labeled flushable
- Tree roots in the main line
Your tech will check which one you have before choosing how to clear it.
Older Florence homes, older drain lines
Nearly half the homes in the City of Florence were built before 1980 (46.7 percent, Census ACS 2020-2024). The median home there dates to 1983.
Drain lines in homes this age can be a different material than newer ones, and that changes how a clog is cleared.
Your tech will check what your line is made of before clearing it. You’ll hear your options before any work starts.
Why a low drain backs up when it rains
Heavy rain can push water back into a low drain. Florence gets about 45 inches of rain in a normal year, and during Hurricane Matthew in October 2016 the Florence airport got 11.74 inches in one day.
The City of Florence notes that flat terrain puts many areas at flood risk. For flood-prone homes, SC Emergency Management lists sewer check valves.
If a low drain backs up when it rains, tell your tech. They will check the line and explain your options.
How can I keep my drains clear?
- Keep grease out of the sink.
- Use strainers in showers.
- Flush only toilet paper.
- Have the main line cleaned if you’ve had more than one backup.
