Clogged Drain Austin, TX

Over the years, the Mr. Rooter Plumbing brand has helped millions of customers deal with tricky plumbing problems, including drain clogs and damage. We have seen just about everything you can imagine when it comes to drain work, so you know your job won’t surprise us. Our experience also means we keep our vehicles stocked with drain cleaning equipment, like snake cams and rooters, so we can get to work right away on fixing your drain.

Give us a call for help with:

• Kitchen drains: Most home drain clogs occur in the kitchen. Putting the wrong type of food into the garbage disposal can cause significant damage in no time.
• Bathroom drains: We are also called out to work on bathroom drains quite often. Hair, soap scum, toilet paper, feminine hygiene products, and more all contribute to serious bathroom clogs.
• Garage or basement drains: If your garage, basement, or utility room has a floor drain, then it will need maintenance quite often. Otherwise, dirt and debris swept and washed away can form a clog down there.
• Sewer drains: Few things are worse than a sewer drain clog, which can cause hazardous wastewater to flow back into your home. Call us right away if you need sewer drain services!

The bottom line is our team from Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Austin knows how to fix any clogged drain in your home. Why turn to anyone else when our trusted plumbers can do it all?

One of our favorite plumbing tools for spotting clogs in drainage systems is our rooter camera, also called a snake cam. Our trained plumbers can navigate the camera down the drain, carefully looking for any signs of trouble that could result in a clog later. Of course, we can also use the camera to spot the clog — once we hit an unexpected wall of grime, gunk, and other debris, we’ve found it!

When the clog has been identified by our camera, we note how far the camera was fed before stopping. This process lets us easily locate where in your plumbing the clog is stuck, just in case we have to do extra work like repiping to clear it.

We hear it all the time from our drain-cleaning customers in Austin: "Traditional pipe snaking isn’t doing the job." They’re tired of using their plungers. They need a solution that keeps pipes clean and clear – for longer. That’s why Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Austin offers HydroScrub^® Jetting.

So how does HydroScrub^® Jetting work?

HydroScrub^® Jetting is an advanced system that consists of a large water tank, a high-pressure hose and high-strength nozzle, and a machine that pressurizes water and controls the flow. Our plumbers insert the nozzle into an opening in your plumbing system to provide access for debris removal. Once activated, the pressure from the nozzle pulls it through the pipe. Propelled by immense water pressure, hydro jetting works its way upstream, clearing the path for debris to flow easily into the sewer.

Unlike conventional cable methods, such as plumbing snakes, hydro scrubbing prevents future problems. Snakes don’t always remove the source of the clog; instead, they push through the path of least resistance, opening small holes in blockages. Often, deposits such as soap residue or grease are left behind and quickly begin re-collecting paper and other material to form the next clog. Hydro jetting does what snakes can’t: It clears the line of clog-makers like grease and soap to leave a clean that will last.

Preventive maintenance is another reason to use this method. You can have a drain cleaning using this method done annually to prevent the need for a clogged drain repair. Austin, TX plumbers return your plumbing to a completely clear, like-new condition. As some future buildup is inevitable, we also recommend ongoing, scheduled cleanings.

In the meantime, follow these simple tips to help keep your system clear:

• When possible, place fat, grease, oil, and other food matter into the garbage – not the sink drain
• Use BioChoiceES^® Green Drain Cleaner to eliminate food, grease, and hair build-up
• Flush nothing but toilet paper down your toilet
• Add drain strainers to kitchen and bathroom drains, and clean them regularly

Yes. By many meteorological classifications, Austin is actually on the southern edge of Tornado Alley. Although seeing a tornado in the region is thankfully rare, thunderstorms are not. Looking at the region’s weather and precipitation history, it's clear that predicting when rain will fall in sheets over Austin isn't easy.
