Professional Drain & Sewer Cleaning in Grand Haven, Muskegon & Surrounding Areas
Not every clog needs a plumber (right away)
Still stuck?
Whether you’re in Muskegon, Grand Haven, Spring Lake, or Holland, we get calls every day that sound like:
“How do I unclog a bathroom sink without using harsh chemicals?” or “My plunger’s not working on my kitchen sink—what now?”
Some customers in Whitehall and Zeeland tell us their basement floor drain is backing up after heavy rain, or that their toilet bubbles when the dishwasher runs—both signs that you might have a deeper sewer clog that a plunger or store-bought snake can’t fix.
If you’ve tried a plastic drain snake, boiling water and dish soap, or even just Googled “DIY fix for clogged drain in Muskegon” or “drain snake vs plunger,” it might be time to stop guessing. We offer local drain and sewer cleaning throughout West Michigan, including Fennville, Hudsonville, and Saugatuck. If your clog keeps coming back—or if multiple drains are slow at once—let our licensed team take a look. We’ll explain when to call a plumber for a sewer clog, show you the problem on video, and clear it for good.
Drain & Sewer Cleaning
Some drain clogs are just surface-level. Others are deeper and need professional tools. Here’s how to tell the difference—and what you can safely try before calling Rapid Flush.
Identify Which Drain is Affected
- Is it just one drain (like your bathroom sink)?
- Or are multiple fixtures backing up (like the shower and toilet)?
A single slow drain is often a localized clog. But if water backs up in the basement floor drain when you flush the toilet, or if your kitchen sink and dishwasher both gurgle, you might be looking at a main sewer line clog. Call us right away if this is the case.
Try These Easy Fixes
Use a plunger the right way
- Fill the sink or tub with a few inches of water.
- Cover the overflow hole with a rag.
- Use a strong, quick motion to plunge 6–10 times.
- This often dislodges gunk in the trap or nearby pipe.
Use boiling water + dish soap (for greasy drains)
- Slowly pour a kettle of boiling water down the drain.
- Follow with a squeeze of grease-cutting dish soap.
- Then another flush of hot water.
If the clog improves temporarily, that’s a sign it’s grease-related and may still be reachable.
Use a plastic drain snake (for hair clogs)
- These are cheap, safe, and surprisingly effective for bathroom sinks and tubs.
- Just insert gently and pull out slowly—you’ll know if you hit the jackpot (gross, but satisfying).
Listen for Warning Signs
These symptoms often point to a deeper clog in your main line:
- Toilet bubbles or gurgles when you run water elsewhere
- Basement drain overflows during laundry or rainstorms
- Multiple drains are slow or backing up
These usually mean it’s time for a professional drain inspection—or a full sewer line cleaning.
