When to Call Us for Clogged Drain Service
Usually, you will see some warning signs when your drains become clogged. You should call Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Palmdale for service as soon as you notice any of these common warning signs of a clogged drain:
- One or more drains in your house are slow, or you notice pools of water over your drains
- You smell rotten food coming from your sink drain or dishwasher
- You smell sewer odors from your drains or around your home
- You can’t clear a clogged drain with a plunger or drain clog remover

Clearing a Clogged Drain Yourself
You may be able to clear a clogged drain yourself using a drain clog remover or a plunger. You shouldn’t ever use a plunger in a sink with standing water in which you have already tried using a chemical drain clog remover. This might cause residual drain clog remover to splash up on your face and eyes, causing burns. You also shouldn’t use drain clog remover on clogged shower drains, bathtub drains, or garbage disposal drains. For clogged sink drains with standing water, use this technique with a plunger:
- Use a cup plunger, not a flange plunger
- If the sink doesn’t have water in it already, fill it with about an inch of water
- Place the plunger over the center of the drain, and plunge up and down forcefully a few times to create a seal
- Remove the plunger to see if the water starts to go down
- If it doesn’t, re-center the plunger over the drain and plunge up and down for one or two minutes
If this doesn’t clear your clogged sink drain, call us for drain cleaning services.
What to Do if Your Bathtub Drain Is Clogged
If your bathroom drain is clogged or you have a clogged shower drain, don’t try to use drain clog remover. It may not completely dissolve a blockage of hair, soap scum, and other bathroom products. If drain clog remover is left to sit in your pipes it will eventually cause corrosion, holes, and breakage. When you call us for drain cleaning services, we can use a powerful plumbing snake or drain remover to fully clear the clog so you can use your tub or shower again.
