Dallas Clogged Drain Services

Dallas clogged drains can cause a multitude of problems—from dirty standing water in your kitchen sink and unpleasant smells, to causing a burst pipe in your home's walls.

Dallas’ clogged drains can range from annoying to devastating, but they always indicate plumbing issues. If you're dealing with a clogged drain that's making your plumbing less efficient and daily tasks more difficult, then it's time to call your local Dallas plumbers to book a drain cleaning service.

About Our Dallas Clogged Drain Services

Usually, there are two main reasons to call the pros at Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Dallas when it comes to handling blocked pipes and hiring a professional drain cleaning service.

• You’ve noticed a problem with your plumbing

• You’re using preventative maintenance to prevent future clogs

Plumbing repairs are usually not caused overnight, and issues tend to sneak up on Dallas homeowners. After all, you're busy living your life—and may have thought to yourself, “it's okay if I flush grease down the sink, just this once...” We've all been there. But the reality is, these “just this time” moments actually result in years of buildup forming in your drains. Depending on how old your home is, how well you care for your pipes and when your last hired professional cleaning services, your system could be clogged without you even realizing it.

The first signs of a clog can be tough to spot. It might be something as simple as your bath taking a little longer to fill-up with hot water, or you smell sewage wafting from your sink from time to time. These signs may not seem particularly problematic, but it's actually very important to take care of Dallas clogs as early as possible. They will get worse over time.

Quality plumbing service and professional maintenance can prevent serious back-ups while also clearing away years of debris accumulating in the system. Also, maintenance is the best way to ensure your plumbing works smoothly for years.

Many companies use toxic, corrosive drain cleaning products to erase build-up in your plumbing system. However, at Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Dallas, we believe in cleaning your plumbing holistically and effectively. It's important to us that your pipes are safe for you and your family. We use a combination of:

• Our cutting-edge HydroScrub® Jetting technology, which uses a hose to shoot high-pressure water through your pipes and blasts away serious grime

• Enzymatic Drain Care™, which are environmentally friendly enzymes that break-down residual debris

Without using corrosive and toxic chemicals, our cutting-edge cleaning system will return your drains to peak performance.

Not only is our technology the best in the industry, but so is our workmanship and customer service. When you hire the team at Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Dallas, our plumbers will show up in a company vehicle, wearing branded uniforms—so you know who's arrived at your door. We also guarantee all our plumbing workmanship and parts, clean-up as soon as we are finished, and offer transparent, upfront pricing.

5 Signs You Need Dallas Clogged Drain Services

Although you shouldn't wait until there's a problem to hire preventative maintenance services, all Dallas homeowners should be familiar with the signs of a clogged drain, so they know when to hire a pro plumber. Soap residue, sludge, grime, food waste, grease and even objects like baby wipes or paper towels contribute to forming clogs. Keep an eye out for the following red flags to know if your pipes are blocked:

1. Slow Drains

Do you find yourself standing in a few inches of water when you shower? Or maybe your kitchen sink drain takes a really long time to empty? It's likely there's a block somewhere in your pipe system. Standing or slow moving water in your sink, tub or shower are common signs of a Dallas clog.

Generally, these clogs are fairly close to the surface, but they can still cause problems. Water will not be able to pass through your plumbing system as quickly as it normally would. This will dirty your basins quite badly. The blockage could worsen over time, possibly causing a leak or burst pipe.

2. Toilet Won’t Flush

If your toilet won’t flush or it backs-up frequently, that’s unusual. Instead, it's likely an indication of a clog. This could be caused by too much toilet paper, items like feminine hygiene products and wipes, or even flushable wipes blocking a pipe. Sometimes, children’s toys could accidentally make their way into the toilet—which will definitely cause it to back-up.

Sometimes issues with your toilet could be a sign of a more serious problem. If you have multiple toilets congested in your home, or notice the toilet backs-up when you use appliances like your dishwasher, there might be a block in your sewer line.

Your main sewer line is the pipe that all other drains in your home feed into. It can sometimes become clogged by tree roots and other debris, which will impact your entire plumbing system.

3. Pools of Water

Have you noticed pools of water in your yard, or areas where the grass is much greener? This could indicate blockages in your sewer line. Perhaps tree roots found their way into the pipe, or it was old and cracked. Either way, a leaking sewer line is a very serious issue. It requires the skills of a professional plumber, like the team at Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Dallas, to resolve.

4. Foul Smell

No one likes smelling sewage or rotting food in their home. If bad odors are seeping out of your sink or shower and wafting throughout your home, that's another sign of a Dallas clog. Smelly drains are often caused by a build-up of food or hair particles that are starting to decompose.

However, if you smell sewage or gas, it could be a couple issues. Your sewer line may have backed-up, in which case you should call a plumber right away. Alternatively, it could be that your P-trap (the section of pipe below your sink that looks like a “P”) has dried out. Try pouring a small amount of water into your sink to remove that smell.

5. Gurgling Noises

It's very common for Dallas homeowners to assume gurgling drains are a natural part of their home’s plumbing system. This is a popular misconception. Your pipes should not gurgle, bang or make any other noises aside from water flushing through. If you hear gurgling, it means there is a clog. Air also flows through your system, and when there's a block, then it can't escape. This causes gurgling and bubbling.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Do You Tell if Your Drain is Clogged?

There are a few red flags to look for that indicate you have a clogged drain in Dallas, such as:

• Standing water in your sinks or tub

• Slow drains

• Foul smelling odors

• Gurgling or banging pipes

• Pools or puddles in your yard

• Bubbling toilets

How Do You Clear an Annoying Dallas Clog?

By far, the most effective way to clear Dallas clogs is by hiring a plumbing professional, especially if it's a serious block. That said, there are a few DIY methods you can try for minor Dallas clogged drains:

• Use a metal hanger as a plumbing snake

• Pour equal parts baking soda and vinegar into your drain

• Pour two liters of hot water down your pipes

How Often Should You Clean Your Drains?

At the bare minimum, you should schedule annual cleaning services to maintain your plumbing, prevent clogs and keep your pipes in the best condition possible. But, if your home is older, you live with lots of other people or you're hard on your plumbing (such as pouring food bits down your kitchen sink), you may want to schedule more frequent cleanings.

How Long Does it Take a Plumber to Unclog a Drain?

This depends on how bad the blockage is and where it’s located. For example, loose clogs near the surface of your toilet, tub or sinks take between 5 and 10 minutes to clear with a plumbing snake.

If you've selected a hydro jetting service—a process that clears pipes using high-pressured water—it will take a total of two hours. The cleaning itself takes roughly one hour, and this is generally followed by an inspection that can take an additional hour to complete.

What is Hydro Jetting?

Hydro jetting works by emitting a high-pressure stream of water through a nozzle. It's similar to pressure washing, but used to clean out the inside of your plumbing system. This is a very powerful method that rapidly eliminates scale, grease, soap scum and other build-up within your pipes.

At Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Dallas, our team uses HydroScrub® Jetting to give your pipes a deep clean. HydroScrub® Jetting is a cutting-edge hydro jetting technology that will clear away even the toughest Dallas clogs without causing a mess or damaging your home.
