CLEAN DRAIN, CLEAN MINNESOTA LAND, AIR & WATER

All of our drains cleaning services are eco-friendly. We use only environmentally safe products from BioOne. The harsh chemicals in many store-bought drain-clearing products slowly deteriorate your pipes and fixtures. The chemicals may remove the blockage, but they often cause significant damage to your pipes. And no surprise, weak pipes lead can lead to burst pipes.

BioOne® DRAIN CLEANER

WHAT IS BioOne®?

BioOne® is a natural biological drain line, septic, and grease trap maintainer that performs without harmful chemicals or additives. BioOne®’s friendly bacteria eat away at greasy slime buildup and odorous residue, leaving your pipes and wastewater systems in top condition all year round when applied on a routine basis. As the old saying goes, ‘an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure’. This natural product works well on:

Drain lines
Septic systems
Grease traps

SAFE ALTERNATIVE TO HARSH CHEMICAL CLEANERS

BioOne® keeps systems clean and free-flowing by unleashing naturally occurring bacteria that thrive on the grease, oil, and stubborn organics found in every wastewater system. Within seconds, these teeny tiny sludge-hungry organisms begin to eat away at waste and other gunk on the lining of your pipes and treatment systems.

Rest assured, it’s safe for both human handling and the environment. Not only is it inexpensive, this technology-based maintenance system is safe and easy to use, BioOne® Liquid formulation has met the EPA’s DfE challenge for biological drain line and septic system products by demonstrating a more positive human health and environmental profile.

Regular drain maintenance with BioOne can help you avoid Paul Bunyan sized problems in the future. BioOne can also save you time, money, and the stress and expense of emergency plumbing services

THE POWER OF WATER — HYDROJETTING

For really tough clogs, you may need a manual snake or the power of water. Paul Bunyan Plumbing & Drains offers hydrojetting which uses water pressure to knock out tough clogs that are no match for conventional drain cleaning methods. Both methods are strong enough to clear almost any clog, but gentle on your pipes.
