Why Get Professional Drain Cleaning vs. DIY?

There are many small or shallow drain clogs that homeowners can clear themselves. But if you’re experiencing persistent slow drains or you have a blockage you can’t seem to clear, consider professional service.

Here are four reasons why professional drain cleaning is a better long-term solution than doing it yourself:

  • Eliminates odors: While a store-bought chemical drain cleaner typically won’t get rid of bad odors, the technicians at Blue Bear can eliminate these smells (and clogs) for good.
  • Use of specialized equipment: Professional plumbers have access to various drain cleaning tools and methods, including drain augers, snakes, and hydro jetting.
  • Saves time, money, and stress: Opting for professional service from the beginning can often prevent minor drain issues from becoming a major plumbing headache. DIY cleaning methods, like chemical drain cleaners, often just make the problem worse.
  • Helps reduce the likelihood of future clogs: Drain snakes, augers, and hydro jetting can eliminate clogs while also maintaining your pipes. However, DIY methods only provide short-term relief and have chemicals that can gradually destroy your pipes, leaving you more open to future drain clogs and other plumbing issues.

Our Drain Cleaning Services in the South Shore

At Blue Bear, we know that every household clog is unique. Ask our technicians about the following services in South Boston:

  • Drain snaking: A snake is a cable-like tool with a corkscrew end to break blockages when rotated.
  • Video camera inspections: In some cases, we may need to use an inline camera to inspect the blockage. Blue Bear also offers pipe repair and replacement services if the job requires more extensive work.
  • Hydro jetting: This high-pressure cleaning technique can blast through even the toughest clogs without damaging your pipes.

How to Prevent Clogged Drains

Staying on top of your plumbing system will give your home the best drainage performance and reduce costly repairs. Here’s a list of everyday items that will cause blockages in your pipes when they go down your drain:

  • Fats, oils, and grease
  • Coffee grounds
  • Hair and pet fur
  • Eggshells
  • Cotton balls and swabs
  • Baby wipes and “flushable” wipes
  • Pesticides and fertilizers
  • Produce stickers
  • Medications

To prevent clogged drains, consider several proactive measures. Start by placing screens or strainers in your sinks and tubs; these will catch hair, food particles, and other debris, preventing them from entering the drain. Instead of pouring grease down your drain, which can lead to blockages, allow it to cool and solidify before scraping it into the trash.

One of the most effective ways to maintain clear drains is through preventative cleaning. Regularly flush your drains with hot water and use a chemical drain cleaner every few months. With consistent care, you’ll observe a noticeable reduction in buildup over time.

What Our Clients Are Saying
Blue Bear was awesome to work with - we had to have an emergency water heater replacement and they were able to come within 24hrs. We received multiple options with pricing and were able to pick a solution that worked best for our needs. Nice install and great clean up afterwards. Had them back out again to install an outdoor shower Again, on time, great communication, completed the installation exactly the way we wanted it and at the exact price quoted. Fantastic job! Oh and we love that they are owned locally!! Congrats to you Chris and team! Thanks for being a great neighbor. Jeremy D.
So the day before Thanksgiving our water heater sprays water all over the basement floor. We think with the holiday and the weekend coming, there goes water usage for at least 5 days. But no! We call blue bear that morning, and the very nice lady sets up a technician to come out to inspect that day! Peter gets to our house, diagnoses the problem, gives our family a few different options explaining everything and gets it all done SAME day! Couldn’t be happier with the friendliness and professionalism of this company. When our furnace decides to let go on us (probably before the next holiday) they will be #1 on the list to call...5 stars and thank you! George K.
Blue Bear was incredible - easy to schedule, clear communication, professional work quality, expert support afterward. We had a complex project (two heat pumps that needed to work with our prior system) and the Blue Bear team absolutely hit a home run! Great work! John K.
Blue Bear exceeded my expectations. Ben was on time, courteous, extremely knowledgeable, and quickly fixed all the issues I had with my boiler. He even noticed a couple other issues I was unaware of, gave me a quote on the spot, and repaired them the same day. This definitely saved me trouble that would have “surprised” me down the road so his attention to detail gave me peace of mind that my system is working properly and efficiently. I would highly recommend Ben and Blue Bear to anyone needing HVAC services. Brian R.
I’ve used Blue Bear plumbing quite a lot. I own a hair salon and often, plumbing issues occur, which is problematic for us to run effectively. Their plumbers have always been super nice, polite and very knowledgeable. Today, Scott came to fix a pipe that burst and he was awesome- but like I said, I’ve used them a bunch and everyone has been outstanding. Carolyn C.
