Introduction: 

A Blocked Drain Is More Than Just an Inconvenience

We all know the feeling. The kitchen sink is slow to drain, the bathroom smells a bit off, and you’ve tried every DIY trick in the book. Whether it's a bubbling sound in the pipes or standing water in the shower, clogged drains can turn your peaceful home or productive office into a plumbing nightmare.

At OneLine Maintenance, we don’t just “poke the clog.” We clean, inspect, and future-proof your drain system—safely, professionally, and without damaging your pipes. Our Drain Cleaning & Blockage Removal service is trusted across Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam by homeowners, restaurants, hotels, offices, and villa communities alike.

Let’s walk you through what we do, why it matters, and how you can prevent drainage issues before they happen.


Why Drain Cleaning Isn’t Optional

Most people only notice their drains when things go wrong. But regular cleaning helps prevent:

  • Slow drainage and water pooling

  • Foul odors from decaying waste

  • Bacterial growth and pest attraction

  • Water damage from backups and flooding

  • Costly repairs due to burst or corroded pipes

Our service is ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry areas, rooftops, basements, and even outdoor drains exposed to leaves and roots.


What Causes Drain Blockages?

Understanding the problem helps solve it better. Here are the most common culprits behind clogged drains:

🛁 Hair and Soap Scum

Bathroom drains are often victims of hair buildup combined with soap residue. Over time, this forms a solid clog that slows or stops water flow.

🍳 Grease and Food Waste

In kitchens, cooking oils, fats, and food scraps build up inside the pipe walls. These sticky residues trap debris and cause a complete blockage.

🌳 Tree Roots

Outdoor and garden drains are often damaged by underground root systems that penetrate pipe joints, causing both clogs and leaks.

🚽 Foreign Objects

Children’s toys, sanitary items, or excessive toilet paper can easily cause drain backups, especially in shared or commercial bathrooms.


Our Full-Service Drain Cleaning Approach

OneLine Maintenance doesn’t offer a one-size-fits-all fix. We provide targeted, high-performance drain cleaning using advanced tools designed to work with Saudi infrastructure.

✔️ Kitchen Sink, Bathroom & Floor Drain Unclogging

Whether it’s hair, soap, or grease—we identify the exact blockage and clear it using tools that protect your pipes and tiles.

✔️ High-Pressure Jet Cleaning (Hydro Jetting)

Our hydro jetting machines blast blockages with high-pressure water. This removes even the toughest clogs without chemicals or damage.

✔️ Pipe Descaling

Over time, hard water deposits scale up your pipes, reducing water flow. Our team descales your lines to restore full pressure and flow.

✔️ Garden & Rainwater Drain Clearing

Leaves, mud, and roots can choke outdoor drains. We use non-invasive methods to clean these lines without digging up your yard.

✔️ Camera Inspection for Recurring Issues

Some clogs keep coming back. In those cases, we use drain cameras to inspect the inside of your plumbing and find long-term solutions.

✔️ Maintenance Scheduling

For commercial clients or villa owners, we offer preventive maintenance plans to keep drains clean year-round.


Is Drain Cleaning Safe for Older Pipes?

Yes — especially with our techniques. We use non-invasive tools and avoid harsh chemicals that can eat through aging pipes. Whether you have PVC, copper, or cast iron plumbing, our team adjusts the tools and water pressure for maximum safety.


How Long Does a Cleaning Job Take?

Most jobs are completed in under 1 hour for residential cases. For larger commercial kitchens or full-building cleanouts, it may take a few hours. We value your time and aim to complete work efficiently, cleanly, and professionally.


Will We Need to Break Tiles or Walls?

No—our process is completely non-destructive. We access clogs through existing plumbing access points. In rare cases where a deeper blockage exists behind walls, we’ll recommend the least invasive solution and get your approval first.


Who Needs Drain Cleaning the Most?

  • Restaurants & Cafes: Regular grease trap buildup is a health and safety risk.

  • Apartment Buildings: Shared pipes mean one tenant’s issue can affect others.

  • Villas & Homes: Kitchen and shower drains clog over time with daily use.

  • Commercial Properties: Office buildings with multiple washrooms need routine care.

Whether you're a homeowner in Riyadh, managing a restaurant in Jeddah, or running a commercial property in Dammam, our service is tailored for your environment.


Preventive Tips: Keep Your Drains Happy

Here are a few small habits that can save you from big plumbing headaches:

  • Avoid pouring oils or food scraps down the sink

  • Use drain covers in showers and kitchen sinks

  • Rinse your drains with hot water weekly

  • Schedule annual cleaning for high-usage drains

  • Never flush wipes or cotton products—even if labeled “flushable”
