Drain Cleaning
Professional drain clearing and maintenance to keep your pipes flowing smoothly.
A slow sink, backed-up shower or recurring main-line blockage needs an assessment of the affected fixtures and accessible piping. Contact Astrada with the symptoms and property location. The cleaning method and any further inspection depend on the blockage, pipe condition and site access.

Frequently Asked Questions
We recommend professional drain cleaning once a year for most homes. If you have older pipes, large trees near your sewer line, or a history of clogs, every 6 months is better. Regular maintenance prevents major blockages and extends the life of your pipes.
Yes. Chemical drain cleaners contain harsh acids or bases that can corrode pipes over time, especially older metal pipes common in Pittsburgh homes. They also rarely clear the full blockage. Professional mechanical cleaning is safer and more effective.
Recurring clogs usually indicate a deeper problem like tree root intrusion, a belly in the pipe where waste collects, or a partial blockage further down the line. A sewer camera inspection can identify the root cause so we can fix it permanently.
