Drain Cleaning in Shreveport, LA
A slow drain rarely fixes itself. Grease, hair, soap and the odd toy narrow the pipe until water backs up, and in older Shreveport homes the pipe itself may be part of the problem.
Request a plumberKitchen sinks
Cooking grease cools and sticks inside the line. Scrape plates into the trash and keep grease out of the sink, even with hot water running.
Bathrooms
Hair and soap scum cause most tub and sink clogs. A simple strainer catches most of it before it reaches the trap.
Laundry drains
Washer lint and the force of a modern washer's pump can overwhelm an old standpipe and cause overflows.
Several drains at once
If toilets gurgle and the tub backs up when the washer drains, the main line is probably blocked; see sewer line repair.
Cable machines
A drain cable breaks through most household clogs and can retrieve objects stuck in the line.
Hydro-jetting
High-pressure water scours grease and buildup off the pipe walls and is often used on kitchen lines and mains.
Camera inspection
A camera shows whether the clog is buildup, roots, a sag or a break, which decides what fixes it for good.
Skip the chemicals
Liquid drain openers sit on top of a clog, heat the pipe and can damage older drains and fixtures.
Request a plumber
Tell the plumber which drains are slow and whether more than one is affected. Send a request and a licensed plumber will get in touch.
