Drain Problems That May Need a Plumber
If you need a plumber because a drain keeps backing up or a repair attempt has made the problem worse, the first step is to identify where the blockage or leak is coming from. A clogged sink, a leaking shutoff underneath the bathroom sink, or a damaged connection may need more than a basic drain cleaning. Call Spokane Pipe Repair at (509) 508-5574 to discuss the problem and determine what service may be needed.
Drain Line Cleaning for Stubborn Blockages
When several drains are slow or a blockage keeps returning, the problem may be deeper in the drain lines. Professional cleaning can help remove buildup and clear obstructions, while an inspection may help identify damage or other issues that cleaning alone will not resolve. For more extensive problems, learn about our drain line replacement service and sewer line inspection service.
Tree Roots, Pipe Liners, and Drain Line Problems
Tree roots can enter damaged sewer pipes and contribute to recurring blockages. If you suspect roots or damage in an underground line, root intrusion removal may be relevant. For suitable damaged pipes, pipe relining uses a liner inside the existing pipe; an inspection can help determine whether lining, cleaning, or replacement is appropriate.

Drain Cleaning Services
Different drains can clog for different reasons. Grease, food scraps, hair, soap residue, and other debris can restrict water flow. When a blockage does not clear with basic methods, professional drain cleaning can help address the obstruction.
Kitchen Sink Clog Removal
Kitchen sinks can become clogged by cooking grease, food scraps, and soap buildup. If water drains slowly or collects in the sink, the blockage may need to be cleared before the sink can drain normally again.
Bathroom Sink and Bathroom Drain Cleaning
Hair, soap residue, and everyday debris can collect inside bathroom drains. If your sink drains slowly or repeatedly clogs, drain cleaning can help remove the buildup and restore water flow.
Shower and Tub Drain Cleaning
Standing water in a shower or bathtub can indicate a blockage in the drain. Removing accumulated hair and soap residue can help clear the obstruction. If the problem returns, further inspection may be needed to identify the cause.
Sewer Line Cleaning
A blockage in a sewer line can affect more than one drain in the home. If several fixtures drain slowly or wastewater backs up, the issue may be farther down the line. Learn more about our sewer line cleaning service.
Hydro-Jetting for Drain Buildup
Some drain blockages may require more than a basic drain snake. Hydro-jetting uses pressurized water to remove buildup from suitable pipes. Find out more about our hydro-jetting service. The appropriate cleaning method depends on the condition and type of pipe.
When Do You Need Clogged Drain Cleaning?
Several signs may indicate that a drain needs attention:
- Water drains slowly from a sink, tub, or shower.
- A drain makes gurgling sounds.
- Unpleasant odors come from a drain.
- Water backs up into a tub, sink, or toilet.
- The same drain keeps clogging after it has been cleared.
- Multiple fixtures begin draining slowly at the same time.
These symptoms can result from buildup near a fixture or a blockage farther along the drain line. If multiple drains are affected, an inspection may help determine whether the issue is in a shared drain or sewer line.
What If a Drain Clog Keeps Coming Back?
Repeated clogs can indicate that the blockage has not been fully removed or that there is a deeper problem in the pipe. Tree roots, accumulated debris, or damaged sections of drain line may contribute to recurring drainage issues.
If cleaning does not solve the problem, an inspection can help identify the next step. Depending on the findings, the solution may involve additional cleaning, sewer line inspection, or drain pipe repair.
What to Do When a DIY Drain or Pipe Repair Makes Things Worse
If you tried to fix a blockage or leak and the problem became worse, stop the repair attempt if continuing could damage the plumbing. If a shutoff underneath the bathroom sink is leaking, avoid using the affected fixture and turn off the water supply if you can do so safely. A plumber can assess whether the issue involves a clogged drain, a leaking connection, or a damaged pipe.
For a leaking or broken pipe rather than a simple blockage, see our pipe leak repair service or burst pipe repair service.
Drain Lines, Galvanized Pipes, and Supply Line Problems
Not every plumbing problem is caused by a clog. If you have concerns about a galvanized drain pipe, a damaged drain line, or pipes that may need replacement, the type and condition of the pipe should be assessed before choosing a repair. A cleaning service may clear a blockage, but it will not correct every form of pipe damage.
For damaged drain lines, see our drain pipe replacement service. If the issue involves a leaking or damaged water supply line, our water line repair service may be more relevant.
How to Help Prevent Clogged Drains
A few everyday habits can help reduce common drain blockages:
- Use drain guards: Catch hair and larger debris before they enter sinks and tubs.
- Keep grease out of the sink: Allow cooking grease to cool and dispose of it in the trash instead of pouring it down the drain.
- Remove visible debris: Clean drain covers and strainers regularly.
- Use care with drain cleaners: Follow product directions and avoid mixing chemical cleaners.
- Address recurring clogs: If a drain keeps backing up, consider having the cause checked rather than repeatedly treating the symptom.
These steps can help reduce some common clogs, but they cannot prevent every blockage or repair damaged pipes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does clogged drain cleaning cost in Spokane?
The cost depends on the location and severity of the blockage and whether additional work is required. Contact Spokane Pipe Repair at (509) 508-5574 to discuss your situation and ask about pricing before work begins.
How long does drain cleaning take?
The time required depends on where the blockage is located and how difficult it is to remove. A straightforward fixture clog may take less time than a blockage in a main drain or sewer line.
Can I unclog a drain myself?
A plunger or cleaning of the drain strainer may help with some minor clogs. If the blockage persists, multiple drains are affected, or a pipe starts leaking, stop and consider professional help to avoid worsening the problem.
What if several drains are clogged at the same time?
Several slow or blocked drains may indicate an issue farther along a shared drain or sewer line. An inspection can help identify the location and determine whether cleaning or another repair is needed.
