A slow drain is easy to ignore until it starts backing up into a sink, shower, toilet, or floor drain. R.S. Andrews helps Bluffton homeowners clear clogged drains safely, identify the cause of recurring backups, and understand whether the issue is a simple blockage or a larger plumbing concern.

Our plumbers handle everyday drain clogs as well as tougher problems involving grease buildup, soap residue, hair, roots, and main line restrictions. With professional equipment, camera inspection options, hydro jetting, and emergency service available, we help restore flow without relying on harsh chemical drain cleaners or guesswork.

Signs Your Drain Might Be in Trouble

Drain problems often build slowly, so early signs are easy to overlook. Don’t wait until water starts backing up. If you notice any of the following, it’s time to give us a call:

  • Water Draining Slowly: A sign of buildup inside your pipes, especially from grease, soap, or food particles.
  • Recurring Toilet Overflows: May point to a deeper blockage in the main drain line.
  • Bad Smells from Sinks or Showers: Could be decaying debris or a sign of sewer gas backing up into your home.
  • Gurgling or Bubbling Sounds: This means trapped air, often caused by a clog somewhere down the line.
  • Standing Water: If water pools in the tub or sink and doesn’t drain, don’t ignore it. Get it looked at right away.

Bluffton homes can be affected by coastal humidity, sandy soil conditions, tree roots, and aging drain lines, so recurring clogs should be checked before they turn into a larger repair issue.

Schedule today! We’re ready to deliver expert service and a smile to your door.

Our Drain Cleaning Services in Bluffton

Whole-Home Drain Cleaning

From kitchen sinks and bathroom drains to toilets, laundry lines, and main drains, we clear blockages with professional tools designed for residential plumbing systems. Our plumbers look beyond the immediate clog so you know whether the problem is isolated, recurring, or connected to a deeper line issue.

Video Camera Inspections

When a drain keeps clogging or more than one fixture is affected, a camera inspection can help pinpoint the problem. We can look inside the line to check for buildup, roots, cracks, low spots, or obstructions before recommending the next step.

Hydro Jetting

Tough clog? Our hydro jetting service uses powerful, high-pressure water to cut through grease, sludge, and roots, restoring full flow and helping prevent future backups in heavily used or problem-prone drain lines.

BioSmart Enzyme Treatment

We offer BioSmart, an eco-friendly treatment that introduces beneficial microbes into your drains. They eat away at buildup naturally to keep your system clean, safe, and clog-free over time.

Outdoor Drain Cleaning

Outdoor drains can collect leaves, mud, sand, roots, and yard debris, especially during heavy rain or seasonal storms. If water is pooling near your driveway, patio, garage, walkway, or foundation, our team can inspect the drainage issue and clear exterior drain blockages during an outdoor plumbing appointment.

Drain Repair Support

Some clogs are caused by a deeper issue, such as damaged pipe sections, root intrusion, pipe settling, corrosion, or recurring main line blockages. If cleaning alone will not solve the problem, our plumbers can help determine the next step and recommend the right drain repair solution for your home.

The Drain Cleaning Process

A clogged drain is not always caused by the same problem, so our process starts with understanding what you are experiencing and where the issue is showing up. A single slow sink may call for a different approach than multiple backed-up fixtures, recurring clogs, or water coming up through a floor drain.

Once we assess the symptoms, our plumbers choose the right method for the situation. That may include clearing the blockage with professional drain equipment, inspecting the line with a camera, or recommending more advanced solutions for heavier buildup. If we find signs of root intrusion, pipe damage, or another issue that cleaning alone will not solve, we will explain what we found and walk you through your options before moving forward.

Our goal is to restore proper flow, protect your plumbing system, and help you understand why the clog happened in the first place.

When Drain Cleaning Becomes Drain Repair

Some clogs come back because the pipe itself has a problem. Root intrusion, pipe damage, corrosion, settling, and separated joints can all restrict flow even after a line has been cleared. If we see signs that cleaning alone will not solve the issue, we can explain your repair options and help you decide what makes sense for your home.

What a great team: Paul, Mike, and Elijah. They worked tirelessly from 8am until 7:30 pm to complete the job. I had an old electric water heater removed and a new gas tankless water heater installed. The RS Andrews Van provided a machine shop to tailor and make specific items to fit for my unique house and it's requirements to do the job right. The team was kind and courteous and thoroughly cleaned up after themselves.

I noticed carpet by hot water closet was wet. Upon inspection I found hot water tank was leaking. I called RS Andrews and they sent out Paul within two hours to see what he could do. I needed a new hot water tank and as soon as I decided what I wanted Paul started taking out the old tank and installed a new one. I couldn't believe he was able to replace the tank the same day as it was a Friday. My family and I are so grateful Paul was able to get everything replaced the same day! Paul is an excellent person and very knowledgeable in his field. Thank you Paul and RS Andrews!
