Professional Drain Cleaning for Lee County, Collier County, and Charlotte County

Slow drains don’t fix themselves. What starts as a sink that drains too slowly often gets worse over time. You might notice water pooling around your feet in the shower or hear gurgling sounds from toilets, both signs that air is trapped behind a blockage deep in your pipes. These minor inconveniences can quickly escalate into serious problems if the clogs are not addressed.

Since 1980, Southern Plumbing Solutions has helped families and business owners across Southwest Florida restore proper flow to their plumbing systems. We understand the unique challenges that Fort Myers properties face, including mineral buildup from hard water and tree roots that infiltrate sewer lines. Our team is ready to clear away the daily waste, like hair, soap residue, and grease, that accumulates inside your pipes and restricts water flow.

We are dedicated to getting your drains flowing freely so you can return to your daily routine. Call us at (239) 426-6100 or contact us online for professional drain cleaning in Fort Myers.

Complete Drain Cleaning Solutions from Southern Plumbing Solutions

Our drain services address everything from minor sink clogs caused by grease and hair to complex sewer line obstructions involving tree root intrusion. We utilize professional-grade equipment, including motorized snakes and high-pressure hydro-jetting systems, to penetrate dense blockages and thoroughly clean your pipes without damaging your infrastructure.

For precise diagnostics, we deploy video inspection cameras to reveal the interior condition of your lines, identifying not only current backups but also structural issues such as cracks or misalignment.

Common Causes of Drain Problems in Southwest Florida

Fort Myers properties face drainage challenges that stem directly from our local environment. Royal palms, mature oaks, and other established trees send roots searching for moisture, and your sewer line provides precisely that. These roots work their way through even tiny cracks in pipes, gradually expanding those openings until they create severe blockages.

Hard water complicates things further. Minerals deposit on pipe walls, creating rough, crusty buildup that narrows the diameter and catches debris. This accelerates clog formation significantly. Older homes with cast-iron or clay sewer lines are particularly vulnerable, as these materials deteriorate over time, developing rough surfaces and small cracks that roots can exploit.

Properties in Lehigh Acres that use septic systems require different handling. Septic tanks rely on beneficial bacteria to break down waste naturally, and harsh chemical drain cleaners destroy these microorganisms. When the bacterial balance is disrupted, your entire septic system stops functioning correctly. We use mechanical cleaning methods instead, employing professional-grade equipment that clears blockages effectively without the use of chemicals that could harm your septic system's biological balance.

Tips for Preventing Clogs

A few straightforward habits prevent most drain problems.

Grease looks harmless when it's liquid, but it hardens as it cools and creates blockages that are tough to clear. Keep a container near the stove and toss grease in the trash instead of pouring it down the sink.

Mesh screens in your shower drains catch hair before it travels into your pipes.

Despite what the packaging says, "flushable" wipes don't break down properly and cause backups. Stick to toilet paper only.

Pay attention to what your drains are telling you. Gurgling sounds, slow drainage, or unpleasant odors indicate problems developing beneath the surface.

Catching these issues early makes repairs more straightforward and prevents a minor problem from escalating into a complete system failure. Running hot water through kitchen drains after washing dishes helps dissolve soap and oily residues before they accumulate.

We handle emergency repairs when drains fail and provide preventive maintenance that stops problems before they start, keeping Fort Myers properties flowing smoothly.
