Drain Clogs
Clogged Sinks and Drains Are No Match for John Moore
Have a Drain Clog Problem?
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.
Call 713-730-2525 and schedule a Drain Clog Specialist.
How Do I Know if I Have a Drain Clog or 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.
