Signs You Need Professional Drain Cleaning
Not sure if you have a simple clog or a more serious issue? If you notice any of the following signs, it’s time to call the professionals at Drain Connection:
- Slow Drains: Water in your sink, shower, or tub takes a long time to drain away.
- Frequent Clogs: You find yourself constantly reaching for the plunger or chemical drain cleaners for the same drain.
- Foul Odors: Unpleasant smells, like sewage or rotting food, are coming from your drains. This indicates trapped buildup.
- Gurgling Sounds: Hearing bubbling or gurgling noises from your drains or toilet when they aren’t in use is a classic sign of trapped air in the line.
- Water Backups: Water comes back up in a different drain. For example, flushing a toilet causes water to appear in the shower.
- Pests: The presence of fruit flies or drain flies can indicate organic material buildup inside your pipes.
Don’t Wait: The Risks of Neglecting a Clogged Drain
A seemingly minor clog can quickly escalate into a major headache, causing significant damage to your property and wallet. Ignoring the warning signs is a gamble. Here are the serious risks you face when you neglect a clogged drain:
- Costly Water Damage: A severe backup can cause water to overflow from sinks, toilets, or floor drains. This can lead to ruined flooring, warped drywall, damaged cabinets, and compromised structural integrity. The cost of water damage restoration far exceeds the cost of a simple drain cleaning.
- Health Hazards: Stagnant water and backed-up sewage are breeding grounds for harmful bacteria, viruses, and mold. Exposure to these contaminants can pose serious health risks to you and your family, while foul odors decrease your home’s air quality.
- Pipe Damage and Corrosion: The constant pressure from a blockage can stress your plumbing system. Over time, this can lead to pipe corrosion, cracks, and leaks within your walls or under your foundation, resulting in complex and expensive plumbing repairs.
- Increased Future Costs: Procrastination is the enemy of your plumbing. A minor, easily-cleared clog can harden and worsen over time, eventually leading to a complete blockage of your main sewer line. This true plumbing emergency is significantly more expensive to resolve.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Drain Cleaning in Texas
Are store-bought chemical drain cleaners a good idea?
While they might offer a temporary fix, we strongly advise against using liquid chemical drain cleaners. These harsh chemicals can corrode your pipes over time, leading to leaks and expensive damage. Furthermore, they often only burn a small hole through the clog, failing to remove the entire blockage. A professional cleaning from Drain Connection is safer and far more effective.
How often should I have my drains professionally cleaned?
For a typical Texas household, we recommend preventative drain cleaning every 1 to 2 years to keep things flowing smoothly. If your home is older, you have frequent clogs, or there are large trees on your property (whose roots can invade pipes), an annual cleaning is a wise investment.
What is the difference between snaking a drain and hydro jetting?
Snaking (or augering) is a traditional method that breaks up a clog or pulls it out. It’s effective for simple blockages. Hydro jetting is a more advanced and thorough solution where we use high-pressure water to completely scour the inside of the pipe. This removes all accumulated grease, scale, and sludge, restoring the pipe to its original diameter and helping prevent future clogs.
Can I do anything to prevent clogs myself?
Absolutely! Here are a few tips:
- Never pour grease, oil, or coffee grounds down the kitchen sink.
- Use a mesh screen or hair catcher in all your shower and tub drains.
- Scrape food scraps into the trash before rinsing dishes.
- Only flush human waste and toilet paper down the toilet.
Why are multiple drains in my house backing up at once?
This is a classic symptom of a clog in your main sewer line, the single pipe that carries all of your home’s wastewater away. This is a serious issue that requires immediate professional attention. If you notice this, call Drain Connection right away to prevent a sewage backup into your home.
How long does a professional drain cleaning service take?
A straightforward clog in a single drain can often be resolved in under an hour. More complex issues, like a main line clog that requires a video camera inspection and hydro jetting, can take a few hours. Our technician will always assess the situation and give you a clear time estimate before work begins.
