Drain Cleaning & Clog Removal
A slow drain is a warning; a backed-up one is a mess. Kitchen sinks choked with grease, tubs slowed by years of soap and hair, floor drains that gurgle, main lines invaded by roots — Tannor clears them properly, not just enough to limp along until next month.
Store-bought drain chemicals mostly burn money and pipes. Mechanical clearing gets the blockage out, and an honest look at why it clogged tells you whether this was a one-off or a symptom of a bigger problem, like a bellied or root-damaged line.
What this covers
- Kitchen and bathroom sink clogs
- Tub and shower drains
- Toilet blockages that a plunger won't fix
- Floor drains and laundry standpipes
- Main sewer line clogs and root intrusion
- Recurring-clog diagnosis — finding the why, not just the what
Signs of a main line problem (not just one drain)
- More than one fixture backing up at the same time
- Water rising in the tub when the toilet flushes
- Gurgling from drains when the washing machine empties
- Sewage smell from floor drains
- Recurring clogs in the same line every few months

Questions
Frequently Asked
Why does my drain keep clogging in the same spot?
Repeat clogs usually mean a physical cause: a bellied section holding water, root intrusion at a joint, or a buildup the quick fixes never fully removed. Tannor diagnoses the cause so you can stop paying to treat the symptom.
Are chemical drain cleaners safe to use?
Occasionally, on minor slowdowns, in metal-free drains — but they generate heat that stresses older pipes, they're brutal on septic systems, and they rarely clear a real blockage. Mechanical clearing is safer and actually finishes the job.
