Drain Cleaning & Repair in Utah County

From a slow-draining sink to a fully backed-up line, PPS Plumbing diagnoses and clears drain clogs using the right tools and techniques for the job.

Clearing clogs and diagnosing drain problems for homes and businesses across Utah County

Drains carry wastewater away from appliances and floor drains. Over time, they narrow or block as debris collects inside the pipe. Slow drainage typically progresses to a full clog if it isn’t addressed.

PPS Plumbing diagnoses and clears clogged drains throughout Utah County, from single-fixture clogs to recurring blockages that point to a deeper issue in the line.

Why Utah County drains clog differently

Utah County’s water is notably hard, with mineral content in the 15–25 grains-per-gallon range across much of the area, among the highest levels in the country. 

As that water moves through pipes, dissolved calcium and magnesium form scale on the interior walls, gradually narrowing the pipe diameter. In older galvanized or cast iron drain lines, especially, this mineral buildup can compound with normal debris to clog a line faster than it would in a soft-water region. 

Established neighborhoods with mature trees also see more root intrusion into older clay or cast-iron sewer lines. Together, these factors mean that drain issues in Utah County often have a mineral scale or root intrusion component that a simple plunger or store-bought chemical treatment won’t resolve.

Services we offer

Kitchen Drain Cleaning

Clearing clogs caused by grease, soap scum, and food particles that build up in the kitchen sink and dishwasher drain lines.

Shower and Tub Drain Cleaning

Clearing hair and soap buildup, the most common cause of slow-draining showers and tubs.

Toilet Drain Clearing

Diagnosing and clearing blockages in toilets and the pipes leading from them, for clogs that a plunger can’t resolve.

Floor and Utility Drain Cleaning

Clearing drains found in garages, basements, and utility rooms, which need to stay clear to prevent backups and flooding.

Recurring Clog Diagnosis

Identifying the underlying cause when a drain clogs repeatedly, whether it’s scale buildup, a partial pipe collapse, or root intrusion in the line.

Drain Repair

Repairing damaged sections of the drain pipe once a clog has been cleared, including sections narrowed by mineral scale or compromised by root intrusion.

Benefits of drain repair

  • Clogs cleared at the source 
  • Recurring problems diagnosed
  • Pipes protected from further damage
  • Straightforward, upfront pricing before work begins

How our process works

Step 1

Diagnosis

We identify which drain is affected and, for recurring or stubborn clogs, use camera inspection to see what's actually happening inside the line.

Step 2

Clearing

We clear the blockage using the appropriate method for the clog and pipe material.

Step 3

Root cause check

For repeat clogs, we identify whether scale, roots, or a pipe defect is the underlying cause.

Step 4

Repair (if needed)

Any damaged section of pipe gets repaired or replaced.

Step 5

Verification

We confirm the line is flowing freely before we consider the job done.

Who we help

  • Homeowners with a slow or fully clogged kitchen, shower, or toilet drain.

  • Homeowners in older Utah County neighborhoods who are dealing with root intrusion or scale-narrowed cast iron or clay lines.

  • Property owners with recurring clogs who need the underlying cause identified.

  • Owners of homes with unsoftened hard water who are seeing faster mineral buildup in their drain lines.

  • Commercial properties needing drain maintenance or emergency clearing.
  •  

What we charge

Pricing depends on which drain it is and how it needs to be cleared. Root intrusion or a damaged pipe section is priced differently than a straightforward clearing. We provide upfront pricing after diagnosing the problem.

Ben was told one problem existed, and a part needed replacing, but when he got there discovered that was not the problem. It was just needing cleaning. So he did that. No parts were used. That is what I would call excellent and honest service Thanks Ben

In the last month I had two plumbing issues that needed immediate attention. Despite having a full work schedule, Ben understood my situation and had crews out to my house on the same days that I called and completed the repairs perfectly. They were professional, respectful of my property and did amazing work. I have not always had positive experiences with plumbing services in the past. So I am very grateful to have found a service now that I can completely depend on and trust. Thank you PPS!!

This company is awesome. I called because the drain for my washer was overflowing, and flooding my laundry room. Ben quoted me a price, and said that he could have someone out to me in an hour if I wanted. I was surprised by how fast they could get someone to me. After they arrived, Josh was very helpful, and also thorough. He made sure the drain was working exactly how I wanted before cleaning and packing up his stuff. Then, to quite a relief, the amount charged turned out to be EXACTLY how much I was quoted by Ben. No extra, last minute items or services not previously calculated or anything. How often does that happen with other home maintenance services?! All in all, very pleased with my experience today. Thank you Professional Plumbing!

Common Questions

We recommend having drains professionally cleaned at least once a year to prevent major clogs and keep the system running efficiently. If you notice slow drainage, it’s worth scheduling sooner.

Chemical drain cleaners can provide a temporary fix but can also damage pipes over time, especially older galvanized or cast-iron lines already dealing with mineral scale. Professional clearing methods are safer for the pipe itself.

Persistent clogs, slow drainage, water backing up, and unusual noises from the pipes are the main signs it’s time to have a drain assessed.

Along with the usual culprits like hair, grease, soap scum, and food particles, Utah County’s hard water contributes to mineral scale buildup inside pipes, and older neighborhoods with mature trees see more root intrusion into sewer lines.

Avoid putting grease, coffee grounds, and food scraps down the kitchen sink. Use a hair catcher in showers and tubs. Only flush toilet paper down the toilet. A water softener can also slow mineral scale buildup in hard-water areas.

A clog that keeps coming back usually points to a deeper issue that needs to be diagnosed rather than repeatedly cleared with the same quick fix.
