Fixing Residential Clogged Drains in Lubbock, TX

How to Tell if You Have a Clogged Drain

You may notice signs of a drain clog, which will allow you to schedule repairs before there's a costly problem. If you think you might have a clogged drain, look for these warning signs:

• Water that is backing up from a sink drain
• Pools of standing water that form around shower and tub drains or on the floor by the sink or tub
• Water drains very slowly
• The toilet bubbles when you turn on the bathroom faucet
• Your drain makes a gurgling noise when you’re using the dishwasher or washing machine
• You smell rotting food from the kitchen sink or dishwasher or sewer odors from one or more drains.

Clearing a Clogged Drain Yourself

You might be able to clear a clogged drain yourself using a store-bought drain clog remover or plunger. If you have a clogged shower drain, you’ll need to call a service professional to use a drain snake or industrial drain clog remover. Here is the best plunging method to use on a clogged drain in a sink:

• Fill the sink halfway full of water
• If it is a double sink, cover one of the drains with a wet towel or rag
• If it is a clogged bathroom sink, cover the overflow hole
• Use a cup plunger centered over the drain
• Plunge up and down a few times to create a seal, then remove the plunger, re-center it, and plunge consistently for 2-3 minutes.

If using store-bought drain clog remover and a plunger doesn’t help, call our 24/7 live answering service to schedule an appointment.
