Before you call
- Stop using the clogged fixture so it doesn't overflow.
- Check whether other drains are slow too. If several are, it's likely the main line.
- Skip chemical drain cleaners. They can damage older pipes and make the job harder for the plumber.
- If water is coming up in a floor drain, stop using water everywhere in the house.
What causes most clogs
Kitchen drains clog with grease, food scraps and coffee grounds. Bathroom drains clog with hair and soap scum. Toilets clog with wipes, even the ones labeled flushable. Floor drains and main lines clog with buildup over time, and in established neighborhoods with mature trees, roots can get into the line.
How plumbers clear drains
Most clogs are cleared with a drain snake or cable machine sized for the line. For heavy grease or recurring clogs, hydro jetting scours the pipe walls with high-pressure water. If the same drain keeps clogging, a camera inspection shows whether there is a deeper problem like a sag, crack or roots.
Keeping drains clear
Use drain screens in tubs and showers, keep grease out of the kitchen sink and only flush toilet paper. If a drain is slowing down, deal with it early. Slow drains usually get worse, not better.

Common questions
Is hydro jetting better than snaking?
Snaking punches through a clog. Jetting cleans the full inside of the pipe, so it's better for grease and recurring buildup. A plumber will recommend one based on the line and the clog.
Why does my drain keep clogging?
Repeated clogs in the same drain often point to buildup further down the line, a pipe that sags, or roots. A camera inspection is the quickest way to find out.
Are enzyme drain cleaners safe?
Enzyme cleaners are gentler than caustic chemicals and can help with mild buildup as maintenance, but they won't clear a real clog.
