Common Issues Requiring Drain Repair in Austin

Certain drain issues pop up more frequently in Central Austin. Homes in this area tend to be older, and many have rust-prone cast iron plumbing systems. These cast iron pipes, which were installed in the 70s, are near the end of their lifespan. This makes leaks and broken pipes more common than average in this area.

In addition to broken pipes and pipe leaks, we often see the following issues in Austin:

• Bathtub drain clogs
• Sink drain clogs
• Dirty floor drains
• Clogged dishwasher drains
• Cracked outdoor drains

If you’re dealing with any of these issues, our team can replace or repair your broken drain(s). We’ll always recommend the most cost-effective, long-lasting solutions for your plumbing problems.

Benefits of Professional Drain Repair

Because drain issues are so widespread, many people attempt drain repair on their own at some point. But just because you can fix some drain issues yourself doesn’t mean you should. Here are just a few benefits of professional drain repair services:

• Time savings: A drain repair job can go sideways quickly if you’re not an experienced plumber. DIY repairs can add hours or even days to the repair time, making your home less functional and compounding your frustration. Professional plumbers can resolve drain issues much faster than most DIY plumbers.
• Minimized risk of damage: DIY plumbing attempts can often make things worse. If something breaks during a repair attempt, you’re left with a bigger headache than you started with. Our plumbing team can carry out repairs effectively without risking additional damage.
• Long-lasting results: Most drain cleaning solutions only work for a few months at best. Solutions provided by professional plumbers can prevent clogs from returning for years.

In addition to the benefits of professional repair, there are unique benefits to working with Mr. Rooter^® Plumbing. Our team always offers clear, upfront pricing, we never charge for overtime, and we follow the Neighborly^® Done Right Promise^™. This promise means that we don’t consider the job done until it’s done right and will return and fix the issue if it pops up within one month of the repair.

Austin Drain Repair FAQ

Can I repair a drain on my own?

Depending on the issue, it is possible to repair a drain on your own. However, many drain problems require professional repair.

The most common drain issue - a clog - is a great example of an issue you can repair on your own. Most clogs are fairly minor, made up of soap buildup, hair, and food. It is totally possible to clear these on your own using a drain snake or drain cleaner. However, if you use these methods, the clog will likely return in about a month. Professional drain repairs will thoroughly clean your pipes, preventing new clogs from forming.

Some drain issues, like a broken drain pipe, cannot be fixed without professional help. Attempting to repair the damage yourself can lead to further damage to your pipes and even water damage. Generally, it’s best to rely on professionals for all plumbing tasks. This approach will lead to the best possible outcome.
