Electric Drain Cleaning in Jacksonville, FL

Jacksonville – St. Augustine – Ponte Vedra

Reliable, Thorough Drain Clearing for Every Type of Blockage

When your drains stop working like they should, life gets frustrating fast. Whether it’s a kitchen sink that won’t empty, a shower that fills like a tub, or a toilet that gurgles after every flush—clogged drains disrupt your home or business and can even lead to costly water damage if ignored.

Turner Plumbing provides professional electric drain cleaning services across Jacksonville and Northeast Florida. Our trained, licensed plumbers don’t just bring a plunger—they bring decades of experience and professional-grade equipment to clear the clog completely and restore your peace of mind.

What Is Electric Drain Cleaning—and Why Does It Work So Well?

Electric drain cleaning uses a motorized machine that spins a specialized cable through your plumbing system. At the end of that cable is a cutting or scraping attachment designed to break up stubborn debris and completely clear your pipe.

Benefits of Electric Drain Cleaning

  • More thorough – It reaches deeper into the system

  • Safer – No risk of damaging pipes with corrosive chemicals

  • Faster – Clears even long-standing blockages in a single visit

  • Cleaner – Prevents mess and backups from worsening

Why Professionals Recommend It

It’s the go-to solution for professional plumbers because it works—and because it gives you lasting results.

What’s Clogging Your Drains?

We’ve seen it all in 75+ years of drain cleaning. Some of the most common culprits include:

Kitchen Sink Clogs

  • Cooking grease buildup

  • Food debris, especially starchy items like rice or pasta

  • Eggshell fragments

  • Coffee grounds

  • Soap and detergent scum

Bathroom Sink and Shower Clogs

  • Long hair and pet fur

  • Soap residue

  • Toothpaste buildup

  • Shaving cream and gel

Toilet Clogs

  • Excess toilet paper

  • Flushable wipes (which often don’t disintegrate)

  • Sanitary products

  • Cotton balls or swabs

  • Small toys or dropped items

Outdoor and Floor Drains

  • Leaves, twigs, and sediment

  • Mud and runoff from landscaping

  • Dirt tracked in from garages or laundry rooms

  • Grease from commercial kitchen floors

These items may start small, but once they collect inside your pipe, they can form a stubborn barrier that slows or blocks water flow entirely. Electric drain cleaning removes the problem at its source—so it doesn’t come back a few weeks later.

When Should You Call a Professional?

DIY methods like plungers or store-bought drain cleaners can offer short-term relief. But if the problem comes back, or if your system shows these warning signs, it’s time to call Turner Plumbing:

  • Water pools in your tub or shower during use

  • Gurgling noises when flushing or draining

  • Foul odors near drains, especially in kitchens or laundry rooms

  • Backups in other areas when one fixture is used (e.g., water in the tub when you flush the toilet)

  • Slow drainage despite attempts to clear it
