Clearing Blockages and Restoring Your Drains

Drain blockages leave plenty of problems behind; slow draining, foul odors, standing water, and gurgling noises, to name a few. In more severe cases, they can even lead to pipe damage or wastewater backing up into your sinks, tubs, or floors.

At PlumbingPro Austin, we take a thorough approach to drain cleaning, using the right tools and techniques to remove blockages at the source. Our goal is to clear your pipes completely, not just push the problem further down the line. With our help, your drains will run freely and your home will stay protected from plumbing problems down the road.

Signs to Have Your Drains Cleaned

Slow Draining Water

A telltale sign of a clogged drain, slow draining water can happen due to buildup inside the pipes that isn’t allowing water to flow through like it’s supposed to. Over time, grease, hair, soap residue, and debris can narrow the flow and slow everything down. Professional cleaning clears out the blockage completely, restoring normal drainage and preventing more serious issues.

Recurring Clogs

When you fully address a clog, you won’t notice it come right back in just a few weeks or so. Instead, your drains should continue to flow freely without issue. If you’re constantly reaching for the plunger or dealing with the same slow drain over and over, it’s a sign that the clog wasn’t fully cleared or that there’s a deeper problem that requires professional drain cleaning to fully resolve.

Unpleasant Smells

Getting hit with a foul odor as soon as you walk into the bathroom or kitchen? That’s usually a sign that food is stuck or bacteria is growing within your drains. Strange, foul smells usually mean organic material is breaking down and lingering within the pipes. A professional drain cleaning clears out the source of the odor, leaving your home smelling fresh and your plumbing flowing properly.

Gurgling Noises

If you hear gurgling sounds when water drains, it could mean air is trapped due to a partial blockage in the line. This is often an early warning sign of a bigger clog forming. Scheduling a cleaning now can prevent a complete blockage and avoid costly repairs down the line.

Ditch the Chemicals and Choose Professional Drain Cleaning

When you notice issues with your drains, it’s easy to pour some chemical cleaner down the drain in an effort to quickly resolve the issue. The problem is, though, that these are usually ineffective and can even end up causing more damage in the long run. Even if they provide temporary relief, they rarely address the root cause of the problem, meaning you’ll be right back where you started before long.

The PlumbingPro Austin Difference

Worse yet, the harsh chemicals in these cleaners can eat away at your pipes over time, weakening them and increasing the risk of leaks or costly repairs. Professional drain cleaning is a safer, more effective solution that targets the real source of the issue. At PlumbingPro Austin, we use proven tools and techniques to clear your drains without damaging your plumbing. It’s a smarter, longer-lasting fix you can feel good about.
