What Causes Clogged Sinks and Drains?
Clogged sinks and drains are the most common service calls we receive, so you’re not alone. Drain clogs happen for many reasons and stoppages can occur anywhere, from the easily-accessible piping under sinks to further down the main drain lines.
How Do I Know if I Have a Drain Clog or a Main Line Stoppage?
If you notice water backing up in the lower drains in your home like your tub and shower drains, then you have a main-line stoppage. Main line stoppages are different than a simple drain clog because they occur in the horizontal sewer pipe that runs underneath your home. If you are experiencing water backing up in your home, visit our Sewer Stoppage & Repair page.
What Causes Drain Clogs in the Kitchen?
In the kitchen, food waste is the major culprit in clogged sinks. Sudden clogs often can be fixed by clearing the P-trap under the sink, but food particles and grease can also build up further along the line. This sludge can slow and finally clog kitchen sinks.
What Causes Drain Clogs in the Bathroom?
In bathrooms, hair and soap residue cause slow draining tubs and showers which, over time, can clog completely. And toilets are prone to a number of stoppages along the lines.
Often, drain clogs may cause backups that can result in water damage to the floors and walls of your home. After the clog is resolved, the John Moore Home Renovation and Remodeling team can assist with any additional home repairs that may be needed, such as drywall / sheetrock repair or replacement and painting.

Drain Clog Jetting
When all else fails, John Moore Drain Specialist utilize a system called “drain jetting.”
Jetting is a method used by professional plumbing contractors to clean clogged or slow sewage lines. A blast of water at high pressure is sent into the lines that will usually remove blockages and build up.

Came on Saturday to reinstall toilet that had been removed to work on flood damage to house. Very competent and knowledgeable. Did an excellent job.
I was pleased with his honesty and with the repipe work that I needed done. And was able to give me a final quote and not just an estimate .
Darrell Kresta from John Moore Services provided excellent and friendly customer service in fixing my water heater due to a leak in my attic from Hurricane Harvey this past week in Houston and would recommend to other customers.
John Moore Company is terrific. They were on the spot to help us with a major plumbing leak, sent in a remediation team, removed defective piping and replaced all plumbing piping in the attic, all with great attitudes and consideration.
Had a clogged drain line in my upstairs bathroom. Called John Moore Services and made an appointment for the next day. Edwin G. was the Field Technician to come out to my home. I explained to him the problem and then he explained the options to me. I told him to go with the best option. Drain line was unclogged. He was very professional and very knowledgeable. He explained what he was going to do and also took pictures of the repairs once he was done. Overall it was a great experience and I have to give Edwin G. and the John Moore Services a 5-Star for a job well done. Couldn't ask for anything better, and will be using them in the future. Thank you Edwin G./John Moore Services.
Excellent service from the plumbing side ,the plumber assigned to do the work was thorough and both flues were not reinstalled by the roofing company , the field service rep found the problem and then coordinated the repair with your roofing division. Awesome job that made my new home safe again.
Derick was awesome he cleared the drain in about a 1/2 hour. Unlike the first tech sent he acted like he didn't want to be here.
John Moore sent Rey out when my water heater bit the dust. Very attentive and worked with me so my needs were met perfectly. A pleasure.
Our Field Technician Mark W was thorough, professional and very helpful. He snaked our drain from our washing machine to the end of pipe and all was done quickly, very professionally, the work area was cleaned and he provided valuable information on how to keep our drain clean for the future. We have used John Moore for complete A/C and heating installation to routine plumbing needs and could not be happier with their overall quality of service and pricing. Would highly recommend their services to anyone, especially my family and friends.
Troy Gallow came out to our condo to fix our stackable washer and dryer that had a leak behind it. He arrived on time and quickly diagnosed the problem. He was very professional and courteous. I hope that I can request him to come out next time I have a plumbing issue. I would definitely recommend John Moore to my friends and neighbors. And may I add this was about one week since Hurricane Harvey and the company was extremely busy but , nonetheless, Troy remainded mild mannered and calm. Great job!
Kevin with John Moore Plumbing did an excellent job on our home. Great service. I highly recommend John Moore!
