Drain Cleaning and Sewer Backup Repair in Richardson, TX

Signs your drain needs professional cleaning

• Water drains slowly in more than one fixture
• Gurgling sounds when you flush or run a sink
• Sewage odors inside or near the cleanout
• Water backing up in a tub when the washing machine drains
• Repeat clogs a few weeks after using store-bought drain cleaner

Common causes in Richardson homes

Grease, wipes and hair cause most kitchen and bathroom clogs. Whole-house backups often point to the main sewer line. Many established Richardson neighborhoods have mature trees, and roots slip into joints in older clay or cast iron lines. Older pipes also sag and trap waste over time.

How we clear it

Snaking

A cable machine breaks through most single-fixture clogs and simple main-line blockages.

Hydro jetting

High-pressure water scours grease and scale from the pipe wall. It is the better fix when clogs keep returning.

Camera inspection

A small camera shows the actual condition of the line, so we can tell you whether it is a clog, a root intrusion or a broken pipe before you spend more.

When a clog becomes an emergency

If sewage is coming up in the lowest drains of your house, stop using water and call right away. Sewage is a health hazard and it spreads fast. See how it fits with our emergency plumbing service, or check typical drain cleaning prices.

Keeping drains clear

Put grease in a can, not the sink. Flush only toilet paper, even if a package says flushable. Use drain screens, and have a persistent slow drain inspected instead of pouring chemicals down it.
