Drain Cleaning Service in Salt Lake City Utah

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. 

Our Drain Cleaning Process

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.

We had Western Heating and Air install a heat pump, air conditioner, and air filtration system for our home, and we couldn't be happier. Just wish we had gone through them for the equipment we had replaced.

Everyone we dealt with was friendly, respectful, and helpful. We even got assistance applying for the appropriate rebates. Western Heating and Air took the stress from he entire process.

The indoor climate of our home is more comfortable than it has even been, and we owe it all to Western Heating and Air. In our minds, there is no reason to do business witn anyone else.

He showed me what he had cleaned out of the drains. He was neat and clean and he left the work area neat and clean. Linda Peterson

I originally called to get a quote to have the coils and panel of my furnace cleaned. The person who answered the phone told me they had a special going where they can do a tuneup for $69.00 and that included cleaning the coils. I asked if she was sure that cleaning the coils was part of this special. She put me on hold to double check and came back and said it was part of the special. When the technician came he told me he was scheduled to do a tuneup. I mentioned the cleaning of the coils and he told me that that wasn’t included with a tuneup. Somehow a miscommunication with the scheduler.
We ended up with just having the coils cleaned. The cost was $520.00 which seemed a bit steep. However Ethan the technician was great. Showed and explained what he had to do to clean the coils. Was very efficient. Work space was clean after he finished. He did a great job. Very pleasant and respectful. Ethan deserves a 5 star rating. 3 stars because of the miss communication between scheduler and supervisor.

I would like to thank Dillon when he came out to do our water heater flush that he noticed that the duct work was too low and it could cause carbon monoxide leakage so he fixed the venting so now we can walk completely underneath it and not hit our head anymore. He was totally awesome.

I’ve been on Western Heating & Air’s maintenance plan for a while, and I really appreciate how thorough their whole-home inspections are. They check and service everything in my furnace room and give clear, reasonable recommendations whenever something might be out of code.

Dillon was outstanding. He was extremely knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything he saw and everything he was doing. I felt completely comfortable having him in my home, and his professionalism and clarity gave me total confidence in the work. I’ll definitely be requesting Dillon for future service appointments. Highly recommend!

This company has gone down hill and might be rock bottom. On the last visit which was a furnace tune-up, they did the work (not sure how well) and presented my wife with thousands of dollars of recommended repairs and upgrades. The list was ridiculous and included things that only they could have caused (like crimped wiring inside the unit when it wasn’t mentioned when they came in March nor any of the other times they came and they’re the only ones to access that compartment in the last eight years). My wife called me and we declined the additional services and the technician left.

When I returned home after about a week, I found an absolute mess: the furnace room door was off its hinges, there was a furnace filter propped next to the furnace, and general disarray in the space. I went to work trying to clean things up and discovered that the problems were even worse than I expected. Not only was the door of its hinges, it had actually been broken. The technician didn’t even mention it, let alone offer to fix it. The furnace filter that was propped by the furnace was mangled and torn and plastic packaging (like from a new filter) was stuffed inside it. We figured out that the one leaning there was the new filter I had installed about 6 weeks before (and did not need to be changed) and the plastic was from the spare I keep on hand. It’s a tight squeeze to get the filter in and out and requires care not to damage it. Clearly the technician wasn’t careful and simply ripped it out of its housing. Again, no mention of this from the technician and no offer to replace what he ruined.

Upon further inspection, I found that one of the seals around the PVC pipe that delivers air to the unit was not in place. I went back and looked at the pictures from the previous service (in March) and it was properly seated, which makes me question whether the technician knew what he was doing or cared at all to do the job right. I’ve canceled my service contract with Western Heating and will never utilize their services again. I’d caution you against using them as well.

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!!!

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.
