Sewer, Drain, Gas & Water Lines

If you notice that your sinks or showers aren’t draining correctly, this could mean there is a clog in the pipe that you need to clear. Clogs will often require that you call a professional plumber to bring in snakes and other plumbing equipment to locate and remove the clog. If someone drops something down a drain by accident, this can also cause a large clog.



At Darrell’s Plumbing, LLC. , we offer residential drain cleaning as part of our list of plumbing services in Owensboro, KY. Our team has been performing residential drain cleaning since 1989, so no clog is too big for us to handle.

Top Reasons to Avoid Chemicals for Residential Drain Cleaning

At Darrell’s Plumbing, LLC. we understand wanting to try other remedies for a clogged or slow drain in your Owensboro, Ky home before taking the step to call us for residential drain cleaning. While we fully support the use of a plunger or drain auger, also known as a drain snake, we do not recommend that you purchase and use a chemical drain cleaner. Here are the top reasons why you might want to reconsider going that route.

  • Poisonous- Chemical drain cleaners are dangerous to your health whether inadvertently swallowed, inhaled, or splashed on your skin or into your eyes.
  • Damaging to Pipes- While the drain cleaner is sitting in the pipe working on the clog, it is generating heat, which is damaging to pipes. It can damage PVC pipes and also be the nail in the coffin for older, corroded pipes. In addition, the chemicals are harsh against the glue holding pipes together, so you could easily experience a leak after using chemical drain cleaner.
  • Damaging to Rubber- No, you don’t have rubber in the pipes, but you do in the seal around the entrance to the garbage disposal.
  • Storage- If you do not use the entire bottle, you’ll need to store it. Any time you store chemicals, you run the risk of an accidental poisoning or other chemical reaction.
  • Environment- Chemical drain cleaners are horrible for the environment and can create unexpected reactions anywhere along the waste system. It doesn’t matter if you are on a septic system or the municipal sewer system, calling for residential drain cleaning instead of using a chemical drain cleaner is important for protecting ground water that is so vital to mankind.

If you notice that water or sewage is coming up in a drain, you may have a larger clog than you can handle on your own. Since sewage and contaminated water pose a significant health risk, you should always rely on a qualified plumber to remove the clog and clean up the damage. We can easily perform residential drain cleaning and make sure your home is safe and clean for you and your family.

Video Drain Inspection in Owensboro, KY 

When you have a clogged drain in your home or office, it is tough to know exactly what to do next. Many people use chemical drain treatments, but these can be hard on pipes, causing corrosion and other problems that can lead to leaks and water damage. Instead of using harsh chemicals in your pipes, give us a call at Darrell’s Plumbing, LLC. We can easily locate and clear clogs in all types of drains, including sinks, showers, floor drains, and toilets. We also offer video drain inspection, which is a key benefit that other plumbers may not provide. When we use our video equipment, we can see deep into the pipes without having to dig anything up or cause damage to landscaping or plumbing.


Another benefit of performing a video drain inspection is that is a much more cost-effective option. Less time spent by us in finding and fixing the problem will ultimately save you money. When we use our cameras to determine the source and exact location of the clog, it becomes much easier to make a fast and efficient plan to remove the clog. Plumbers who don’t use video drain inspections usually must take more time to use snakes of varying lengths in an attempt to find the clog and move it through the pipes.
