  • Drain Cleaning in University City: What Causes Clogs and How to Prevent Them

Living in University City or North Philly, homeowners often experience slow drains or recurring clogs — especially in older rowhomes and duplexes. At Philadelphia Plumbing Experts, we’ve seen it all: grease buildup, invasive tree roots, and even collapsed sewer lines. Regular drain cleaning isn’t just a fix — it’s a key part of preventive home maintenance.

Last week, a Logan homeowner contacted us about a persistent kitchen sink clog. Our team used a video inspection snake to diagnose a grease-packed main line and performed hydro jetting to fully clear the obstruction. This not only restored proper drainage but also prevented future blockages.

Top signs you need professional drain cleaning:

  • Gurgling or slow drainage in multiple fixtures
  • Recurring clogs after DIY solutions
  • Foul odors coming from drains

To understand your rights regarding sewer line work, visit the City of Philadelphia Water Department.

Service areas: West Philly, Logan, North Philly, University City.
