Are Stubborn Clogs Disrupting Your Home?
If you are living with a slow-clearing drain or have a nasty clog that’s preventing you from using your sink or toilet, you should reach out for assistance.
If you’re dealing with water sitting in the sink, gurgling noises, or unpleasant odors, you aren’t just facing an inconvenience; you’re looking at a potential home emergency. These symptoms often point to deep-seated mineral buildup or sewer line issues that DIY chemicals simply can’t reach. At Mullen, we don’t just treat the ‘symptom’ with a temporary fix; we eliminate the source.
Any of these problems could indicate the start of a major clog or another problem with your sewer or drain line.
Although you can treat the symptoms with a pour-in DIY drain cleaner, this is only a temporary solution. Our expert plumbing technicians can determine the exact source of the problem and treat it. Our methods are safe and effective, which isn’t always the case when you pour harsh chemicals down the drain.
If your slow drain is a symptom of a bigger problem, such as tree roots, you may require a sewer line repair or replacement. Our professional drain cleaning experts use video cameras to find the exact break or blockage before we begin, saving you time and money.
In addition, if you have a storm drain on your property that is not clearing rainwater as it should, we can help. Our storm drain cleaning services include removing leaves, sticks, and other debris that could cause flooding on your property.

Advanced Drain Cleaning & Hydro-Jetting Solutions
We can perform our drain cleaning services using a few different techniques.
Video Inspection
Our technicians follow industry standards for sewer and drain inspections, utilizing high-resolution video technology to identify structural issues before they become emergencies. We can see the exact location of the clog, and we may even be able to figure out which materials are causing the blockage. If the drain pipes have cracks or other structural issues, our video inspection spots these problems.
The video cameras have their own lighting, ensuring we can see what’s inside the drain.
We may also use a video inspection after performing drain clearing to ensure we eliminate the source of the clog.
Drain Snaking
Drain snaking is a common technique for kitchen and bathroom drains. When our licensed plumbing technicians do so, we place a flexible cable into the drain, with an auger attached to the end. Once the cable reaches the clog, we activate the auger to break it apart. The smaller pieces can then be washed down the drain and into the sewer line.
Water Jetting
With our hydro jetting service, our plumbers use a high-pressure nozzle on a hose inside the drain to wash away any clogs. The pressurized water is highly effective at removing clogs or any debris lodged inside the drain pipe. Because it uses water, it’s one of the safest methods for clearing a clog, especially compared to using harsh chemicals.

Drain Cleaning FAQs
Customer: “How do I know if my drain really needs cleaning?”
Mullen Tech: “Great question! A few things to watch for are slow-draining sinks or tubs, weird gurgling noises when the water drains, or even funky smells coming from the pipes. If you’ve noticed any of these, it’s a sign your drain might be due for a good cleaning and you need to give us a call.”
Customer: “What do you guys do to clean out a drain?”
Mullen Tech: “Well, we’ve got a few tricks up our sleeve! For tough clogs, we might use a drain snake, which is like a mechanical auger that clears blockages. For something more serious, we’ll break out the hydro jet—it’s a high-pressure water tool that blasts away buildup and grease. Sometimes, a gentle chemical treatment helps too. We choose the method based on what your drain needs, so it’s both effective and safe for your pipes. When you are having these issues, schedule online service, so we know what is happening and how we can help right away!”
Customer: “How can I keep my drains from clogging again?”
Mullen Tech: “Oh, I hear this one a lot! A biggie is avoiding pouring grease or oil down the drain—it hardens and sticks. You can also use drain screens to catch hair and other debris before it gets in the pipes. And scheduling regular maintenance, even just a quick inspection, can help catch issues before they turn into clogs. We can even come out and check things for you once in a while.”
