Clogged Drain

A slow drain rarely fixes itself, and it usually gets worse fast, so call and get it cleared before it backs up on you.

When this becomes an emergency

Water backing up into the tub when the washing machine drains.
A sink that empties slower every week instead of getting better.
A gurgling sound from one drain when a different fixture runs.

What a pro does

Most clogged drains aren't a simple hair-and-soap problem once they're bad enough to call about. The plumber runs a camera down the line first, especially in Tulsa's older midtown houses where original cast iron has narrowed with decades of mineral buildup and rust. That inspection decides everything else. A drain auger clears a localized clog fast, but a rented mainline cutter or hydro-jetting equipment handles buildup running the length of the pipe. Guessing which tool a clog needs from the sink side alone almost never works, and it doesn't get easier by waiting.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the drain gurgle when a different fixture runs?

Trapped air is escaping through the path of least resistance, which usually means a clog somewhere downstream is forcing water and air to fight for the same space in the pipe.

Can a chemical drain cleaner fix this instead?

Sometimes for a fresh hair clog, but repeated use eats away at old cast iron pipe from the inside, which is common in midtown Tulsa homes built decades before PVC became standard.

Does a slow drain in one sink mean the whole line is clogged?

Not always. A single slow fixture often points to a clog right at that drain, while multiple slow fixtures at once usually points to something further down the main line.
