Drain Cleaning in the Greater Montana Area

Few things are as frustrating as a sink that refuses to drain or a shower that leaves you standing in an inch of soapy water. While it’s tempting to reach for a bottle of liquid cleaner, those harsh chemicals often do more damage to your pipes than they do to the clog. In the Greater Montana area, our plumbing systems face unique challenges, from the mineral-heavy water in Missoula to the debris that finds its way into basement drains during a seasonal thaw. When your home’s drainage system slows down, it’s usually a sign that a deeper issue is brewing within your pipes.

At Hellgate Plumbing, Heating & Cooling, we provide professional drain cleaning that goes beyond a temporary fix. You might be dealing with a kitchen sink backed up with cooking grease or a bathroom drain struggling with years of hair and soap scum buildup. Our team uses specialized tools to clear the entire diameter of your pipes, restoring the smooth, fast flow your household needs. We’ve spent years helping our neighbors in Lolo, Florence, and the surrounding areas keep their plumbing moving without the stress of recurring backups. If you’re tired of fighting with a plunger, let us provide a lasting solution. Reach out today by calling or filling out our online contact form to get your drains back to normal.

Our Drain Cleaning Services

Every drain in your house has its own job to do, and each one can fail for different reasons. We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to plumbing maintenance. Instead, our technicians evaluate the specific type of clog and the age of your pipes to choose the safest and most effective clearing method. Our goal is to protect your plumbing infrastructure while ensuring you don’t have to worry about a backup tonight.

Kitchen and Utility Sink Clearing

Kitchen drains take a lot of abuse from fats, oils, and food particles that solidify over time. Even a high-powered garbage disposal can’t prevent some debris from clinging to the pipe walls. We use professional-grade mechanical snakes and augers to break through these tough, greasy blockages. By thoroughly cleaning the internal surfaces of the pipe, we help prevent the “glue-like” buildup that causes frequent kitchen clogs.

Bathroom Fixture and Shower Drainage

Bathroom drains are the most common victims of hair, toothpaste, and mineral buildup. These materials create a mesh-like obstruction that slowly chokes off the water flow. We specialize in clearing bathroom sinks, tubs, and showers without damaging your decorative fixtures or porcelain. Our process ensures that the entire trap and the connecting branch lines are free and clear, so you can stop worrying about standing water during your morning routine.

Main Line Maintenance and Root Removal

Sometimes, the problem isn’t inside your house at all. In many Greater Montana area neighborhoods, tree roots can find their way into the main sewer line through tiny cracks or joints. This leads to slow drains throughout the entire house or even sewage backups in the lowest points of the home. We offer advanced diagnostics to locate these deep-set obstructions and use heavy-duty equipment to clear the line, protecting your property from the mess and expense of a major sewer failure.
