What’s Clogging My Drain?
Most clogs are caused by a slow buildup of everyday waste materials, i.e., things that shouldn't be going down the drain in the first place. Over time, these blockages restrict flow and can cause unpleasant odors, slow drainage, or backups. Knowing what’s going down your pipes is the first step in preventing bigger problems.
The common culprits include:
- Hair and soap scum – Bathroom sinks and tubs are prime spots for hair buildup, which can tangle with soap and form stubborn clogs.
- Grease and food particles – Even with a garbage disposal, grease and debris can line kitchen pipes and harden over time.
- Non-flushable items – Toilets clogged with wipes, hygiene products, or excess paper can lead to overflows and pipe stress.
- Tree roots – Outdoor sewer lines can crack over time, allowing roots to grow inside and block water flow.
- Mineral buildup – Older homes in Central Virginia often deal with hard water deposits that collect inside pipes.
Our team uses advanced tools and techniques to identify and eliminate the cause of the clog. We take the time to fully clear the line—not just poke a temporary hole—so the issue doesn’t come back next month.

How We Clean Drains
At R.J. Tilley Plumbing & Remodeling, we use a range of professional tools and techniques to clean your drains thoroughly and safely. Whether it’s a simple kitchen clog or a more complex blockage, our process aims to make sure every drain in your home is clear and performing its best.
Here are some of the services we provide for effective drain cleaning solutions:
- Drain snakes – For localized clogs in tubs, sinks, and toilets, our techs use high-powered augers to break up debris.
- Hydro jetting – For larger buildup or sewer line blockages, we use water pressure to scour the inside of pipes.
- Sewer camera inspections – When the source of a clog isn’t obvious, we use video to locate the issue before digging or cutting.
- Main line cleanouts – If the clog runs deep, we clear it from the source to restore your entire home’s flow.
- Clean-up and follow-up – Once your line is clear, we test the flow and clean the work area before wrapping up.
These techniques allow us to tackle even the toughest blockages, ensuring your drains are clean and your home plumbing is protected. Whether it’s a preventative cleaning or fixing an existing clog, you can count on us for reliable results.
Professional drain cleaning doesn’t just solve immediate issues; it also extends the life of your plumbing, reduces the chance of future problems, and gives you peace of mind.
