Basement drains can clog for several reasons. Over time, debris like dirt, leaves, and small objects can accumulate in the pipes, obstructing water flow. In basements, these drains are often exposed to excess moisture and water runoff, which can carry in dirt and other particles. Additionally, grease, soap scum, and even hair can contribute to blockages. If the basement drain is connected to a sump pump, clogs can also occur from the buildup of sediment or debris around the pump. Tree roots, especially in older homes, can infiltrate pipes and cause blockages as well.

Yes, you can clean drains yourself—especially for minor clogs or routine maintenance. Simple methods like using a plunger, baking soda and vinegar, or a drain snake can clear out hair, soap scum, and small blockages. You can also flush drains with hot water regularly to prevent buildup. However, if the clog is deep, recurring, or affects multiple drains, it may indicate a bigger issue in your plumbing system. In those cases, it’s safer and more effective to call a professional to avoid damage or incomplete cleaning.

Hydro jetting is not recommended as a DIY job. While there are pressure washers and attachments sold for home use, true hydro jetting involves extremely high water pressure (up to 4,000 PSI) and specialized nozzles that require professional equipment and training. If used incorrectly, it can damage pipes, especially older or fragile ones, and may even cause injury.Professional plumbers assess the condition of your pipes first—often with a camera inspection—to ensure hydro jetting is safe and effective. So while it might be tempting to try it yourself, hiring a licensed plumber is the safest and most reliable way to get the job done right.
