Signs You Need Professional Drain Cleaning
Drain problems often start small, but they can turn into bigger plumbing issues if ignored. If you notice any of these signs, it may be time to call a professional plumber:
• Water draining slowly
• Standing water in sinks, tubs, or showers
• Gurgling sounds from drains
• Frequent toilet clogs
• Bad odors coming from drains
• Water backing up into another fixture
• Multiple drains clogged at the same time
If more than one drain is affected, the problem may be deeper in the line and should be checked before it gets worse.
Drain Problems We Fix in Fort Myers
Lerma Plumbing & Drains helps Fort Myers homeowners with common and stubborn drain issues, including:

• Slow or gurgling drains

Whether it is a simple clog or a recurring drainage problem, we take the time to evaluate the issue and recommend the right solution.
What Causes Drain Clogs?
Drain clogs can happen for many reasons. Some of the most common causes include grease buildup, hair, soap residue, flushed wipes, paper products, food debris, roots, mineral buildup, and aging pipes.
In many Southwest Florida homes, older drain and sewer lines can also develop scale, corrosion, or buildup that narrows the pipe over time. When that happens, clogs may keep coming back until the underlying issue is properly addressed.
Our goal is to clear the blockage safely and help you understand what caused it.
​
​
Is It One Drain or the Main Sewer Line?
If one sink or shower is draining slowly, the clog may be isolated to that fixture. But if multiple drains are slow, toilets are gurgling, or water is backing up into a tub or shower, the issue may be in the main sewer line.
Common signs of a main line clog include:
-
Multiple drains backing up
-
Toilet bubbling or gurgling
-
Sewer smell inside or outside
-
Water coming up in the shower or tub
-
Repeated clogs after previous drain cleaning
​
If you notice these signs, call before the backup gets worse.​
Our Drain Cleaning Process
When you call Lerma Plumbing & Drains for drain cleaning in Fort Myers, we focus on finding the cause of the problem — not just temporarily clearing the drain.
Step 1: We evaluate the drain problem
We look at the affected fixture, ask about the symptoms, and determine whether the clog appears isolated or connected to a larger drainage issue.
Step 2: We explain your options
Depending on the situation, we may recommend professional drain snaking, augering, hydro jetting, or a camera inspection if a deeper issue is suspected.
Step 3: We clear the drain safely
We use professional tools and avoid harsh chemical drain cleaners that can damage pipes.
Step 4: We test the flow
After clearing the drain, we test the fixture to make sure water is flowing properly.
Step 5: We help prevent repeat problems
If we see warning signs of a bigger issue, we explain what we found and walk you through your options.
Drain Snaking vs. Hydro Jetting
Not every clog needs the same solution.
Drain snaking is often used to break through or remove a blockage so water can flow again. This can be a good option for many common clogs.
Hydro jetting is a deeper cleaning method that uses high-pressure water to clean the inside of the pipe. It may be recommended for recurring clogs, heavy buildup, grease, sludge, or certain main line issues.
We do not believe in pushing services you do not need. We explain the difference, inspect the situation, and recommend the option that makes the most sense for your home.
