Our Drain Cleaning Services
At Western, we use professional-grade equipment and proven techniques to restore flow in blocked drains without damaging your pipes. Our comprehensive drain cleaning services include:
Kitchen Drain Cleaning
Your kitchen sink captures debris from grease, food particles, and soap residue. Over time, these materials build up along pipe walls, creating stubborn blockages that worsen daily. Our skilled technicians use specialized equipment to safely eliminate these tough clogs and restore your kitchen drain to optimal functionality.
Bathroom Drain Cleaning
From hair-clogged shower drains to toothpaste-crusted sink pipes, your bathroom drains take on a unique set of daily challenges. When slow drainages or complete blockages occur, our team quickly diagnoses and repairs the issue to get your bathroom fixtures flowing again.
Water Jetting
For severe or persistent clogs that are resistant to traditional drain cleaning methods, our high-powered water jetting service delivers up to 8,000 PSI of force. This chemical-free drain cleaning approach completely obliterates years of buildup without damaging your plumbing system.
Our Drain Cleaning Process
Western believes in solving drain problems right the first time. Our methodical approach to drain cleaning in Salt Lake City involves the following:
1. Initial Assessment
Our plumbing technicians begin with a thorough evaluation of your drain system to pinpoint the exact cause and location of the blockage.
2. Customized Drain Cleaning Solution
Based on our findings, we select the most effective drain cleaning method for the job — whether it’s traditional snaking for simple clogs or water jetting for more stubborn blockages.
3. Quality Inspection
After cleaning, we can video inspect our work to confirm that your drains are completely clear and flowing freely. We strive to provide lasting results instead of quick fixes.
Signs You Have a Clogged Drain
Don’t wait until your clogged drain escalates into a costly emergency. These are the warning signs that it’s time to call Western:
1. Unusual Sounds:
If your drains make gurgling noises during drainage or strange sounds while flushing, it typically indicates air trapped in your pipes from a developing clog.
2. Slow Drainage:
If you’re standing ankle-deep in water during your shower or watching the water pool in your sink while you brush your teeth, your drain is backed up. Even minor slowdowns can signal the beginning of a more serious blockage.
3. Unpleasant Odors:
Foul smells wafting from your drains indicate that there is trapped debris decomposing within your pipes.

I would like to thank Jose S.
Jose came by to drop off a couple space heaters for us, but instead he fixed our furnace which only took him roughly 15 minutes to do.
It would’ve been a couple very cold days in the house. I appreciate all that he does.

Western Heating, Air & Plumbing was prompt, efficient, and polite. When Jose came to fix the issue with my heating, he was incredibly kind and helpful. He spoke to me directly and helped me understand the problem completely at my level of understanding (lower than his of course). I couldn’t have asked for better service or for a better technician! I will absolutely be using Western for all future needs.

Kyle and Chris came yesterday to upsize my furnace return filter. They even offered to reposition it higher in the vertical duct so I don’t have to kneel down on concrete which was much appreciated. I like that the techs had everything they needed on their truck and could handle everything including handling payment. They were friendly and they never left until the job was done and cleaned up the mechanical room as they left

Micheal and Glen came out to my house today to do a tune-up on my a/c and furnace units. I was so impressed by how professional and knowledgeable they are. My units are 21+ years old and have probably never been serviced. I was not prepared for good news regarding them but wanted to see if I could get a little more time before having to replace them. Michael walked through everything with me in great detail taking pictures and videos so I could see what he and Glen were seeing as well. They answered all my questions and were very honest about what they could and could not do to repair the units, which I appreciated greatly. I have never experienced this level of customer service with any other repair company in my life. I’m so impressed! I highly recommend Western for all your HVAC and plumbing needs. You won’t be disappointed. Thanks for everything Michael and Glen you guys are amazing!!!

I recently used Michael for an HVAC tune up, and I was impressed. He arrived on time, was highly knowledgeable, and explained everything clearly. He worked through my system efficiently and gave me tips on maintaining my system. Michael was professional and easy to talk to, answering all my questions (and I really like asking questions). Highly recommend him for his efficient and informative service!

We have been very pleased with all the service technicians who have serviced our equipment, and were similarly happy with Carson, who came this week to check our furnace. He was thorough in checking all the required items on the service checklist, and as I like to understand what the work, Carson explained what he was doing and why, and how the system functioned. We regretted that we couldn’t justify purchasing some of the equipment recommended to improve the furnace operation, but it was a five-star experience. Thank you, Western, for the excellent technicians you have sent us, and thank you Carson, for your pleasant and thorough assistance.

Drain Cleaning FAQs
How Often Should I Schedule Drain Cleaning Services?
For most homes in Salt Lake City, drain cleaning should be performed annually. However, homes with older plumbing systems, large families, or a history of drain issues may benefit from more frequent cleanings. Regular maintenance not only prevents unexpected clogs but also helps identify potential problems before they become costly emergencies.
What Causes a Blocked Drain?
Several common factors can cause blocked drains in homes. In bathrooms, hair, soap scum, and personal care products are frequent culprits. Kitchen drains often become clogged due to grease, oils, and food particles. Tree roots can also intrude into underground pipes, causing blockages. Hard water can lead to mineral buildup within the pipes, restricting flow. Accidental flushing or dropping of foreign objects down the drain is another common cause. Finally, temperature changes can cause pipes to contract, which can also reduce flow and contribute to blockages.
How Can I Prevent Drain Clogs in the First Place?
Preventing drain clogs is key to good drain maintenance. Installing quality drain strainers in all sinks, showers, and tubs is a great first step. It’s crucial to never pour cooking grease or oils down kitchen drains. When using a garbage disposal, always run hot water. Regularly flushing drains with hot water can also help prevent buildup. Scheduling professional drain maintenance is a good idea to proactively address potential problems. And, of course, being mindful of what goes down your drains is essential for long-term clog prevention.
What Can I Pour Down My Drains to Unclog Them?
While chemical drain cleaners might seem like a quick fix, they can actually damage your pipes and cause more problems. For minor clogs, a safer alternative is to pour half a cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by half a cup of white vinegar. Let this mixture sit for 15 minutes, then flush with hot water. If this doesn’t clear the clog, it’s best to contact a professional drain cleaning service rather than resorting to harsh chemicals that could harm your plumbing.
How Do Plumbers Unclog Drains?
Professional plumbers use a variety of techniques to unclog drains, depending on the specific situation. These methods can include video inspection to pinpoint the exact cause and location of the blockage, professional-grade augers (also known as snakes) for typical clogs, and high-pressure water jetting for more stubborn blockages. Enzymatic treatments are sometimes used for organic buildup, and specialized tools are available for removing foreign objects. Reputable plumbers will choose the most effective and least invasive method to clear the clog while protecting the integrity of your plumbing system.
