Signs of a Clogged Drain

If you have a clogged drain in your home, these telltale signs will let you know:

Water drains away slowly or doesn’t drain at all.
The drain makes gurgling noises as the water goes down.
There is an odor coming from the drain.

5 Common Culprits of Clogged Drains

Drains can clog for many reasons. Sometimes they are easily controlled, while other times professional help may be required to clear a clog.

Inappropriate Items in the Drain or Toilet

Are you tossing things down the drain that shouldn’t be there? There’s a long list of substances and items that shouldn’t go down the drain or in the toilet. These include:

Food remains, especially anything fatty, slimy, or sticky – These can be a problem for your sink drain even if you have a garbage disposal. Just a little fat or oil can cause small food particles to stick together and form a clog.
Anything that’s non-biodegradable, including small items such as paper clips and rubber bands
Harsh chemicals, including chemical cleaners for bathroom sinks, bathtub drains, and more – These aren’t necessarily responsible for clogs, but they can damage pipes and lead to other issues.
Feminine products
“Flushable wipes” – These can cause a stop-up, especially in homes with older plumbing systems.

Damage and Age

Older pipes are more vulnerable to clogs, in part because accumulated rust in cast iron pipes and sediment or grease buildup narrows pipes over time. Any damage to a pipe can disrupt the flow of water and increase the risk of a clog.

Soap Scum and Limescale

In hard water conditions, soap scum and limescale can contribute to the formation of clogs. Soap scum forms as the result of a chemical reaction between soap and the minerals in hard water. The scum deposits on surfaces and in pipes. Limescale is formed by mineral deposits left behind by hard water.

Grime and Sludge

A drain can become clogged after years of use if you don’t clean and unclog it regularly. Grime, grease, and sludge build up inside the pipes, and as these deposits get larger, the risk of a clog increases.

Tree Roots

In a mature yard with large trees and shrubs, there’s a risk that roots may grow into the sewer line. This can cause major problems if the sewer line clogs after the root growth breaks into the sewer pipe.

What to Do When Your Clogged Drain Is a Sewer Line Problem

Sometimes a clogged drain is more than just a clogged drain. It may actually be a sewer line problem. This issue can arise in older homes when tree roots grow into sewer pipes, causing a breakage or blockage. In newer homes, it can happen if items such as sanitary products or paper towels are flushed in the toilet or shifting soil breaks a line in the ground.

Warning signs of a sewer line problem include:

When the toilet flushes, you hear a gurgling noise in the drains or toilet.
Water backs up in the toilet and/or bathroom drains.
You smell sewage odors in the bathroom or anywhere else indoors.

Any sewer line problem is a job for a licensed plumber only. If you notice any of these signs, call CW Service Pros right away for help with drain cleaning in Carrollton or any other DFW location. Sewer line issues can be hazardous because they can result in raw sewage backing up into your home. Not only is this itself a health hazard, but sewage gas is toxic and flammable.

CW Service Pros Uses These Effective Tools and Techniques for Drain Cleaning

Drain clogs don’t always have simple fixes, but you can rely on CW Service Pros to offer an effective solution to your drainage problem. Our local plumbing experts use several tools and techniques to quickly locate the source of a blockage and fix your drain or sewer line.

Video Camera Inspection

We send a small video camera down your drain to pinpoint the exact location and nature of the blockage. With this visual inspection, we can determine the extent of the problem, and it provides essential information that we use to develop the best solution.

Smoke Testing

This leak detection technique is also useful for sewer line issues. We send non-toxic, odorless smoke into your pipe system. It escapes through any cracks, broken pipes, or unsealed connections. We track that smoke to its source to find the location of a break in the drain line.

For everything from minor blockages to stubborn drain clogs, these drain cleaning methods typically provide a speedy solution.

Sewer Snake

This tool is also known as a rooter machine. The sewer snake can quickly break up minor to moderate blockages of grease, soap, and other household substances.

Hydrojetting

For grease buildup in drains, the sewer snake is sometimes ineffective. That’s when CW Service Pros pulls out the big guns, with our hydrojet drain cleaning service. Hydrojetting sends powerful jets of water to clean and unblock the clogged pipe. It’s forceful enough to shift almost any blockage and melts away the grease buildup.

How Long Does It Take to Unclog Drain or Sewer Lines?

The length of time professional drain cleaning takes depends on the nature and location of your clog. A simple blocked drain is usually cleared in less than an hour. Hydrojetting takes 60 to 90 minutes, or a little longer for tough clogs or multiple blockages.

More rarely, if the problem turns out to be related to a broken sewer line, it may take several hours or possibly up to a few days to fully address. However, in most cases, the issue is just a simple blocked drain that’s cleared in under an hour!

Will My Drain Stay Unclogged?

It should, provided there are no other underlying issues to address. If the drain becomes blocked again soon after professional cleaning, there may be something more significant going on, like a broken pipe.

CW Service Pros recommends annual professional drain cleaning to keep your pipes and sewer line flowing freely and to prevent blockages and backups.

Prevent Drain Clogs with Good Drain Care

If your drain is flowing freely, you can help keep it that way with these tips.

Install a drain screen into the bath or shower drain. This keeps hair out of the drain and the pipes.
Avoid putting anything sticky, slimy, fatty, or greasy down the kitchen sink drain, even if you have a garbage disposal unit.
Don’t toss any non-biodegradable items down the drain or in the toilet.
Clear the drain with baking soda and vinegar no more than once a month. If your drains are clean and free from clogs, this should be enough to keep them that way.
Use a product like BioOne monthly to eat up organic matter in the drain.

Does Insurance Cover North Texas Drain Cleaning and Repair Costs?

Most standard insurance policies exclude or limit coverage for damage caused by backed-up drains and sewer lines. Insurance companies consider this damage to be preventable, as regular maintenance and as-needed repairs keep drains and sewer lines in good working order.

Some providers offer supplemental coverage for damage due to sewage backups.
