Maintaining clean and functional drains is essential for every household, but misinformation about drain cleaning can lead to ineffective practices or even damage to your plumbing system. As 2025 settles in, it’s time to leave these common misconceptions about drain cleaning in Las Vegas, NV in the past and start focusing on proper drain maintenance.
“Boiling Water Fixes All Clogs”
While pouring boiling water down the drain might work for minor grease buildups, it is not a universal solution. For severe clogs caused by mineral buildup, tree roots, or foreign objects, boiling water will do little to no help. In some cases, it can even damage pipes, particularly plastic ones, by softening or warping them. It’s infinitely better to identify the cause of the clogged drain and use appropriate methods or consult a professional.
“Store-Bought Chemicals Are the Best Solution”
Chemical drain cleaners are widely available, but they are not the safest or most effective option. These products often contain harsh chemicals that can corrode pipes over time, especially if used frequently. They can also harm the environment and pose risks to your health if not handled properly. Opt for natural alternatives like baking soda and vinegar for minor clogs and call for professional drain cleaning services for those found deeper in the pipes.
“Frequent DIY Cleaning is Enough”
Regular maintenance is crucial, but relying solely on DIY methods to clean drains can lead to missed problems. Trained technicians use specialized equipment and techniques to uncover any underlying issues that may be causing recurring clogs. They also have the expertise to properly diagnose and address these problems, whether through hydro jetting, drain snaking, or other methods.
“Small Clogs Will Resolve Themselves”
There should be no room for this type of thinking when it comes to drain cleaning. Why? Because there’s simply no way for clogs to magically disappear over time. The more realistic route is for these clogs to grow and worsen, leading to complete blockages or even pipe damage. As soon as you notice signs like slow-draining water or foul odors, take action immediately to prevent further complications.

I had the cartridge in my shower go bad and couldn't shut off my water. I called Walter at 6:00 am. He told me to shut off the water main and waited for him to get to my house and he fixed it in a matter of minutes, about 10-15 to be exact. I highly recommend them for any plumbing issues one might have.

We received a call from one of our tenants at a commercial retail center that all their toilets and sinks were backing up. We manage the property from out of town and rarely have plumbing issues, but now needed a plumber in a hurry. The tenant runs a childcare center and small children need access to bathrooms! After calling several companies who were too busy, one of them recommended Walter at Discount Drain. Lucky for us! Walter answered his phone immediately. He was friendly and committed to helping us out. He arrived at the property at the promised time and resolved our issue, keeping our tenants happy. His invoice arrived overnight with great detail and the price was reasonable. We won't hesitate to call upon Walter again.

Outstanding service. Was on time, price quoted was price charged, drains open and working in 30 minutes !! No mess to clean up, and was explained everything. Forget the ripoff plumbers in this city, that sell with the fear factor, and work you don't need. This is the only company to call.
