Drain cleaning in Post Falls, Idaho

Drain calls in Post Falls

Post Falls drain calls look like the ones in the rest of Kootenai County: slow kitchen sinks, backed-up tubs, toilets that will not clear and, less often, a main line that stops moving. The first thing a contractor wants to know is whether it is one fixture or several.

Water and sewer service

Post Falls gets its water from the Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer through the city’s own wells, according to an Idaho National Laboratory fact sheet. For drains, the useful question is different: whether the home is on a public sewer line or a private septic system. A contractor asks because a septic system changes what is safe to do and who has to be called for certain problems. Mention which one the home has.

What to say on the call

1. The nearest cross streets, so the contractor can confirm Post Falls is in range.
2. Which fixtures drain badly, and whether any drain at all.
3. Whether the home is on public sewer or septic.
4. Whether the problem has happened before.

More on drains

Several drains slow at once usually means the main line. See main sewer line clogs. For repeat clogs, see hydro-jetting and camera inspection. Idaho requires licensed plumbers, and the state licensing FAQ explains how to check.

Preventing repeat clogs

Grease in the kitchen sink, hair in the tub drain and flushed wipes cause a large share of residential clogs. Changing those habits helps, but a clog that keeps coming back after that points to the pipe. Mention it on the call so the contractor can quote a camera look instead of another quick clear.

What to tell the contractor

1. The street or neighborhood, so Post Falls can be confirmed as in range.
2. Which fixtures are slow or backed up.
3. Whether the home is on city sewer or a septic system, since the work differs.
4. Whether the problem has happened before.

Sewer or septic

Many homes in the Post Falls area are on city sewer, while some rural properties use septic systems. A clog in the house drain is cleared the same way either way, but a backup that reaches multiple fixtures on a septic system can point to a full tank or a failing drain field, which is a different job. Say which the home has when calling.

Questions for the contractor

Ask what equipment will be used for the drain, whether the line will be tested for flow afterward, and whether a camera look is recommended when a drain has clogged before. Ask what the contractor suggests to prevent a repeat.

Seasonal factors

Heavy holiday cooking is a classic time for kitchen drain clogs, and fall leaves and roots can affect outdoor drains and yard cleanouts. Winter cold can also stress older lines near the surface.
