Drain Cleaning

Austin Drain Cleaning Plumbers

When a drain stops functioning properly, everyday routines can quickly become frustrating. A slow tub suddenly turns a quick shower into an ankle-deep soak. The kitchen sink backs up at the worst time. A laundry drain starts to bubble and spit water onto the floor. In the Greater Austin area, property owners face a combination of older neighborhoods, shifting limestone soil, and high mineral content in the water supply. It’s no surprise that buildup, blockages, and compromised pipes can show up without warning and necessitate a professional drain cleaning.

Rooterman Plumbing of Austin has served residential and commercial properties since 2012. We take the time to diagnose what’s actually happening inside your system rather than rushing through a quick fix. We communicate clearly, and we treat your property and plumbing system with the same care we would our own.

That’s the standard our plumbers bring to every appointment, whether you’re in South Austin, Windsor Park, or out along 183. We focus on delivering service that helps you feel informed, confident, and supported as we get your drains back to normal.

Call (737) 302-5625 or contact us online today to schedule an appointment and get an estimate.

The Signs You Need Professional Drain Cleaning Now

We offer emergency service, and even for so-called “non-urgent” situations, our plumbers strive to put you on the schedule the same day you call. Reach out when you spot any of the following red flags…

Slow Drains Throughout Your House

A single slow drain can sometimes be solved with a minor fix, but when your sinks, tubs, and showers all start draining sluggishly at the same time, it’s usually a sign of a deeper obstruction. Austin’s mineral-heavy water and thick sediment can settle in older cast-iron or PVC lines, building up until water barely squeezes through.

The longer that blockage sits, the more pressure it places on the system, which can trigger leaks and structural pipe issues. If multiple drains are lagging, it’s a strong indication that professional cleaning is needed.

Foul Odors Coming from Drains

Unpleasant smells drifting from your kitchen, bathroom, or laundry drains often point to organic buildup, decaying debris, or sewer gas lingering inside the line. In our humid Austin weather, especially during long stretches of heat, those odors intensify.

While store-bought cleaners might mask the smell for a moment, they rarely clear the source of the issue. Our trained team can quickly identify the cause, thoroughly clean the problem area, and take preventive action for the future.

Gurgling or Bubbling Noises

That bubbling sound coming from a sink or shower drain isn’t just annoying. It’s a sign of air getting trapped behind a blockage. When water tries to pass an obstruction, it forces air upward, creating a familiar gurgle.

Homes located on uneven ground or clay-heavy soil experience this issue more frequently because shifting soil can compress sections of underground piping, exacerbating blockages. Addressing the problem early helps to keep that obstruction from growing into a complete backup.

Recurring Backups Despite Temporary Fixes

If you’re plunging a toilet every week or clearing the same sink repeatedly, the root problem is still in the pipe. Fat, grease, hair, and sediment settle deeper in the line where home tools can’t reach.

When homeowners continue to experience the same issue, it’s usually because only the top of the blockage is being cleared, while the mass beneath remains intact. Professional drain cleaning tackles the obstruction at its source, helping the system operate more reliably.

Water Backing Up in Unrelated Fixtures

One of the clearest red flags is when using one fixture causes another one to back up. Examples include flushing the toilet sending water into the tub or running the washing machine causing the kitchen sink to fill. This means your main line is struggling to move wastewater the way it should.

Austin’s older neighborhoods, especially areas with mature trees, often see this due to root intrusion. Left untreated, this type of issue can create major disruptions throughout your home.
