Kitchen sink
Over time, grease, soap film and food scraps coat the inside of a kitchen drain until the basin lingers full. Clearing the line and inspecting the trap beneath it is the plumber’s job.
Drain Cleaning in Fort Worth
Sinks that empty slowly and tubs that gurgle mean something is narrowing the line between the fixture and the sewer. Call us, and the plumber you hire locates the blockage and clears it.
Below are the drains that give trouble, a note on sewer smells indoors and the habits that keep a cleared line clear.
Which drain is giving trouble
Bath and shower drains
Hair and soap build up just below the strainer, so a tub or shower drains slowly long before it stops. The plumber clears the blockage and checks the line beyond it.
Washer and floor drains
A washer standpipe or a laundry-room floor drain backs up once lint and grit pack the line behind it. A plumber feeds a cable through to break up the packing.
The main sewer line
Slow drains at several fixtures together, or water rising in the lowest drain in the house, point at the main line. What lies beyond the house wall is covered on the sewer line page.
A sewage smell indoors
Fort Worth’s sewer FAQ says an odor indoors is likely a problem with a vapor trap, and a plumber can help.
If the smell stays, tell us when you notice it and which fixtures are nearby, and the plumber can trace it.
Keeping drains clear
Hair is caught by a strainer in the shower before it travels down the line. In the kitchen, grease and coffee grounds go in the trash, and wipes stay out of the toilet.
Clogs that keep coming back can point past the drain. Read about sewer line repair if the line itself is suspect, or fixture repair if the trouble starts at a tap or a toilet, or go to the homepage for everything else.
