Why We Don't Recommend Chemical Drain Cleaners
Liquid drain cleaners are widely sold and widely misused. The caustic chemicals in products like Drano and Liquid-Plumr can dissolve some organic clogs, but they also damage PVC pipes, corrode older metal pipes, and are hazardous to handle and dispose of. They also do nothing for mechanical blockages like tree roots or collapsed sections.
More importantly, they mask the symptom without addressing the cause. If your drain keeps clogging, there's a reason — and a bottle of chemicals won't tell you what it is. Our team uses mechanical snaking and hydrojetting to clear clogs completely and camera inspection to understand recurring problems.
How to Prevent Clogged Drains
- Install drain screens in showers and tubs to catch hair before it enters the drain
- Never pour grease, cooking oil, or fat down the kitchen drain — even with hot water running
- Run hot water for 30 seconds after each use of the kitchen sink to flush residue through the line
- Only flush toilet paper — no wipes (even "flushable" ones), feminine products, or paper towels
- Clean your pop-up drain stoppers in bathroom sinks monthly — they collect hair and soap quickly
- Have your main sewer line inspected every few years if you have mature trees near your home
Even with good habits, drains benefit from professional cleaning every year or two to clear buildup before it becomes a full blockage. We can schedule routine maintenance cleaning that keeps your plumbing system running smoothly year-round.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have a main line clog vs. a single drain clog?
If only one drain is slow, the problem is likely localized to that drain. If multiple drains throughout the house are slow or backing up simultaneously — particularly if toilets are gurgling — you likely have a main sewer line blockage. This requires immediate attention.
Can you clear a drain the same day I call?
We do our best to accommodate urgent drain situations quickly. Call us at (469) 703-2731 and we'll let you know the earliest available appointment.
What is hydrojetting and do I need it?
Hydrojetting uses high-pressure water to completely clear grease, scale, and debris from the interior walls of your pipes — not just punch a hole through the clog. It's more thorough than snaking and is the best option for persistent or recurring blockages and grease-heavy lines.
My garbage disposal is clogged — can you fix it?
Yes. Garbage disposal clogs are very common and usually straightforward to clear. In some cases, the disposal itself may need to be serviced or replaced. We handle both.
Is there anything I can do before you arrive?
Stop using the affected drain to avoid overflow. If a toilet is clogged, don't flush again. You can try a plunger on a single drain — use a cup plunger for sinks and a flange plunger for toilets. If the clog doesn't clear with a few good plunges, it's time to call us.
