How to tell if your kitchen sink is clogged?

If water is draining slowly or not at all, you’re likely dealing with a clogged kitchen sink. Gurgling noises, water backing up, or foul odors coming from the drain are also telltale signs of a blockage. These issues are often caused by food particles, grease, or soap scum.

If your kitchen sink is clogged, don’t wait—contact Red One Plumbing for professional drain cleaning services in Houston.

How to clear a clogged kitchen sink?

Start by using a plunger to attempt to dislodge the clog. If that doesn’t work, a mix of hot water and baking soda may help dissolve grease buildup. For more stubborn clogs, using a drain snake or calling a professional plumber for drain cleaning is the best solution.

Need help clearing a stubborn kitchen sink clog? Our team at Red One Plumbing is ready to assist with expert drain cleaning.

How to tell if your shower is clogged?

Signs of a clogged shower drain include slow-draining water, standing water in the shower, or an unpleasant smell coming from the drain. Hair and soap scum are common culprits that cause blockages in shower drains.

If your shower drain is clogged, we can help. Schedule a drain cleaning with Red One Plumbing today.

How to unclog a shower with standing water?

To unclog a shower with standing water, you can try using a plunger or a drain snake. If the clog persists, it may be time for professional help, such as hydro jetting, which uses high-pressure water to clear even the toughest blockages.

For stubborn clogs, consider our hydro jetting services for a thorough solution.

How to tell if your toilet is clogged?

A clogged toilet may not flush properly or could cause water to back up in the bowl. You may also hear gurgling sounds or see water rising too high when flushing. Common causes include excessive toilet paper or non-flushable items blocking the drain.

Need help with a clogged toilet? Contact Red One Plumbing for fast, reliable drain cleaning.

How do you clear a clogged toilet?

A plunger is usually your first tool of choice to clear a clogged toilet. If that doesn’t work, a toilet auger (a type of drain snake) can reach deeper into the pipes. Persistent clogs may require professional drain cleaning services.

Struggling with a clogged toilet? Read our complete step-by-step article about "How To Unclog a Toilet". Call Red One Plumbing for expert drain cleaning services.

What is hydro jetting and when do you need it?

Hydro jetting is a highly effective method for clearing tough clogs using a high-pressure stream of water. It’s ideal for removing years of debris, grease buildup, or tree roots from your pipes. You might need hydro jetting if traditional methods like snaking haven’t worked.

For deep, powerful cleaning, schedule our hydro jetting service to restore your pipes to optimal function.

What is drain camera inspection?

A drain camera inspection involves using a high-resolution camera to visually inspect your pipes and locate the exact source of a clog or damage. This non-invasive method allows plumbers to accurately diagnose issues without unnecessary digging.

If you’re unsure of what’s causing your drain problems, book a sewer camera inspection today.

How do you know if your main sewer line is clogged?

Signs of a clogged main sewer line include multiple slow drains throughout your home, water backing up in your shower when you flush the toilet, and gurgling sounds in your pipes. If left untreated, a sewer line clog can lead to serious damage.

If you suspect your main sewer line is clogged, don’t wait. Contact us for professional sewer line repair.

How do I unclog my main sewer line?

Unclogging a main sewer line typically requires professional intervention. Hydro jetting or sewer line cleaning with specialized tools can clear out blockages like tree roots or debris. In more severe cases, sewer line repair may be needed.

Contact Red One Plumbing for expert sewer line cleaning or repair services to protect your home from costly damage.
