Fort Myers and the surrounding Southwest Florida communities face unique drain challenges that homeowners in other parts of the country may not encounter. Understanding these local factors can help you protect your plumbing system and know when to call for professional service.
Southwest Florida has some of the hardest water in the state. High concentrations of calcium and magnesium in the local water supply create mineral scale inside pipes over time. This scale gradually narrows the interior diameter of your drain pipes, reducing flow capacity and making clogs more likely. Kitchen drains are especially vulnerable because grease and food particles stick to the rough mineral deposits, accelerating blockage formation.
The lush tropical landscaping that makes Fort Myers beautiful also poses a threat to underground drain and sewer lines. Tree and shrub roots naturally seek out moisture, and even tiny cracks or joints in your sewer pipe can attract root growth. Once roots enter the pipe, they expand rapidly, catching debris and eventually causing complete blockages. Common culprits include ficus trees, palm trees, and banyan trees that are prevalent throughout Lee County.
Florida’s sandy soil provides less stable support for underground pipes compared to clay or rock-based soil in other regions. Over time, pipes can shift, creating bellied sections where water and debris collect. These low spots become chronic clog zones that require professional attention to resolve.
Waterway Plumbing & Drain Cleaning uses professional-grade equipment to handle everything from simple sink clogs to severely blocked main sewer lines.
Before we start clearing your drain, we often run a high-definition sewer camera through the line to see exactly what we are dealing with. The camera feeds real-time video to a monitor, allowing us to identify the type, location, and severity of the blockage. This eliminates guesswork and ensures we use the right method for the specific problem. Camera inspections are especially valuable for recurring clogs, as they can reveal underlying issues like root intrusion, pipe damage, or bellied sections that cause repeated blockages.
Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water, typically between 3,000 and 4,000 PSI, delivered through a specialized nozzle to blast away grease, mineral scale, root intrusion, and debris inside your drain pipes. Unlike mechanical snaking, which punches a hole through the clog, hydro-jetting cleans the entire interior surface of the pipe, restoring it to near-original flow capacity. This method is particularly effective for kitchen drains with heavy grease buildup and main sewer lines with root intrusion.
For standard household clogs in sinks, tubs, and toilets, our motorized drain snakes provide fast, effective clearing. We use different cable sizes and cutting heads depending on the pipe diameter and the type of obstruction. This method is ideal for hair clogs in bathroom drains, food blockages in kitchen drains, and object retrievals from toilet lines.
We believe in honest pricing with no surprises. Before any work begins, we provide a clear estimate based on the specific service needed. Our pricing is straightforward:
We never charge hidden fees for equipment use, travel time within our service area, or standard cleanup. The price we quote is the price you pay.
For most Fort Myers homes, we recommend professional drain cleaning once every 12 to 18 months as preventive maintenance. Homes with mature trees near sewer lines, older galvanized or clay pipes, or a history of recurring clogs may benefit from more frequent service, typically every 6 to 12 months.
We strongly advise against using chemical drain cleaners like Drano or Liquid-Plumr. These products contain caustic chemicals that can corrode pipes over time, especially older metal pipes. They are also only effective on certain types of clogs and often provide temporary relief while the underlying problem worsens. Professional mechanical or hydro-jetting service is safer for your pipes and more effective at resolving the issue permanently.
Contact a professional drain cleaning service if you notice any of the following: water draining slowly in one or more fixtures, gurgling sounds from drains or toilets, foul odors coming from drains, water backing up into sinks or tubs when other fixtures are used, or standing water in the shower that was not there before. These symptoms indicate a developing blockage that will likely worsen without treatment.
