Do You Have a Clogged Drain?

Sometimes pipes that have not been maintained can accumulate buildup over the years. Hair, grease, rust, and mineral deposits can corrode your plumbing. This can lead to severe pipe damage and a clog. When you experience drainage issues, you should reach out to Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Austin.

To tell if your draining system is clogged, look for the following signs:

• Water backs up from sink drains
• Liquid starts pooling around shower drains
• Water pools before slowly dissipating
• The toilet begins bubbling when using the sink
• Drains gurgle after running the laundry or dishwasher
• The kitchen sink smells of old, rotten food
• The smell of sewage starts emanating from multiple drains

The signs of a clog are not always going to be obvious, though, as you can tell from this list of subtle warning signs. Do you pay close attention to your home’s drains? Even if you answered yes, there could be a clog forming down the line, or one that has already formed. When you let us handle your clogged drains, you can just sit back! Let experienced plumbers use industry-grade tools to identify and break apart clogs. Our parts and workmanship are always guaranteed, so you don’t have to worry about a thing!

How Do You Clear Clogged Drains?

Some clogs are simple enough to handle on your own. Others require an experienced plumbing professional to resolve. Before calling a plumber, you can try to see if you can take care of the issue by plunging your drain.

To plunge your drain, follow these steps:

• For double kitchen sinks, use a wet rag to plug one drain
• For bathroom sinks, plug the overflow hole
• Partly fill the sink with water
• Use a cup plunger to plunge the open drain
• Remove the plunger and repeat if necessary

We also advise that you do not run any water down the drain if the clog is resisting plunging. You may only be contributing to the problem. You should also stop flushing the toilet if it is clogged. You do not need to shut off the water to a clogged appliance, though. Just stop using it while the problem persists.

Camera Inspections See All Clogs

One of our favorite plumbing tools we use to spot clogs in drainage systems is our rooter camera, also called a snake cam. Our trained plumbers can navigate the camera down the drain, carefully looking for any signs of trouble that could result in a clog later. Of course, we can also use the camera to spot the clog — once we hit an unexpected wall of grime, gunk, and other debris, we’ve found it!

When the clog has been identified by our camera, we note how far the camera was fed before stopping. This process lets us easily locate where in your plumbing the clog is stuck, just in case we have to do extra work like repiping to clear it.

Hydro Jetting in Austin

We hear it all the time from our drain-cleaning customers in Austin: Traditional pipe snaking isn’t doing the job. They’re tired of using their plungers. They need a solution that keeps pipes clean and clear – for longer. That’s why Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Austin offers HydroScrub^® – the most effective method of residential drain and sewer cleaning available.

How does HydroScrub^® work?

HydroScrub^® is an advanced system that consists of a large water tank, a high-pressure hose and high-strength nozzle, and a machine that pressurizes water and controls the flow. Our technician inserts the nozzle into an opening in your plumbing that provides access for debris removal. Once activated, the pressure created by the nozzle causes it to pull itself through the pipe. Propelled forward by immense water pressure, HydroScrub^® works its way upstream, clearing the path for debris to easily flow away into the sewer.

Why HydroScrub^® surpasses conventional cable methods

Unlike conventional cable methods – plumbing snakes, for example – HydroScrub^® prevents future problems. Snakes don’t always remove the source of the clog, instead pushing through the path of least resistance to open small holes through blockages; often deposits such as soap residue or grease are left behind and quickly begin re-collecting paper and other material to form the next clog. HydroScrub^® does what snakes can’t: It clears the line of clog-makers like grease and soap to leave a clean that will last.

Preventative maintenance

The best way to prevent clogs is to stop them before they start. We recommend a HydroScrub^®drain cleaning. to return your plumbing to a completely clear, like-new condition. As some future buildup is inevitable, we also recommend ongoing, scheduled cleanings. In the meantime, follow these simple tips to help keep your system clear:

You don’t have to suffer the stress of repeated clogs and possible water damage. Instead, call Mr. Rooter, and we’ll defeat those clogs with a powerful hydro jetting in Austin.
