CLOGGED DRAIN REPAIR

When "Slow" Becomes "Stopped" — We Fix It Right

A clogged drain that won't budge is more than an inconvenience — it can back up into your sink, tub, or even overflow onto the floor if left unaddressed. Most store-bought drain cleaners are temporary at best, and at worst they damage older pipes without clearing the actual blockage. Professional drain clearing is the right answer.

Downing Plumbing uses professional cable machines and hydro jetting equipment to physically remove blockages — grease buildup, hair clogs, soap accumulation, foreign objects, or tree root intrusion in main lines. We don't just poke a hole through the clog and call it done. We clear the drain line completely and verify full flow before we leave.

Common signs you have a serious clog: water backs up into another fixture when you run water, multiple drains are slow at once, you hear gurgling sounds, or there's a sewer odor in the house. These symptoms can indicate a main line blockage — which requires professional equipment to resolve. Call Downing Plumbing and we'll diagnose it correctly.

How We Clear a Clogged Drain

Professional clog removal is faster, more effective, and safer for your pipes than store-bought solutions. Here's what to expect.

1

Identify the Clog

We determine whether the clog is in an individual drain line or the main sewer line — the fix is different for each.

2

Choose the Right Method

Cable machine, hydro jetter, or hand auger — we use the right tool based on the blockage type and drain location.

3

Clear the Drain

We fully remove the blockage, not just poke a hole through it. The goal is a completely open drain line.

4

Confirm and Advise

We run water to confirm the drain is clear, then explain what caused the clog and what you can do to prevent it from returning.
