Reading, PA Drain Clearing Services

We recommend having your drains inspected and cleaned at least once a year, or more if you experience frequent clogs. Summer is a great time to schedule your annual drain clearing service as increased water usage during this season can often reveal hidden issues in your plumbing.

Chemical drain cleaners can be harsh on your pipes, especially if used frequently. Our technicians generally recommend that you avoid drain cleaners if possible, and opt for our professional drain clearing services instead. When it comes to stubborn clogs, leave it the pros at Essig!
