Recurring Drain Clogs in Fort Worth

Recurring Drain Clogs: what property owners should know

A drain that keeps clogging after it has been cleared can be frustrating. The immediate obstruction may have been removed while residue remains farther along the pipe. In other cases, the repeated problem may come from roots, a damaged section, a belly in the pipe or an object that has not been fully removed.

How hydro jetting may help

Hydro jetting may be useful when inspection indicates that suitable buildup along the pipe wall is contributing to the recurring restriction. Water can loosen and flush material from the line. It is not the right response to every recurring clog, and it will not correct a structural defect.

When cleaning may not be enough

The pattern of the problem matters. One sink affected on its own may point to a local branch line. Several fixtures backing up together may suggest a shared drain or main sewer concern. Gurgling, sewage odors and water appearing in unexpected places are reasons to seek a proper assessment.

What information should you provide?

Keep track of which fixtures are affected and when the symptoms occur. That information can help a technician narrow down the location and likely cause.

• Which fixture or section of the property is affected?
• How long has the problem been happening?
• Has the line been cleared or inspected before?
• Are multiple fixtures affected, or just one?
