Quick answer
How do I know if I need a plumber for a clogged drain?
Call a plumber when a plunger or a clean trap does not fix it, when the same drain clogs again within weeks, or when more than one fixture is slow or backing up at once. Several fixtures acting up together usually points to the main line, and that needs a professional clearing, not more chemicals.
Drain Cleaning
Clog, camera, clear: how a drain call works
1. Clog: find where it lives
We ask which fixtures are slow, when it started and whether water shows up somewhere it should not, such as a shower drain gurgling when the washing machine empties. We run water at other fixtures to see if the problem stays in one place or spreads. This tells us whether we are dealing with a single branch line or the main sewer line before any equipment comes off the truck.
2. Camera: look when it adds information
A camera inspection is useful when a line keeps clogging, when roots or a broken pipe are suspected, when a home is being bought or sold, or when we need to know the condition of the pipe before recommending repair. It is not part of every job. A single kitchen sink clogged with grease and food rarely needs one, and we will tell you when it does not.
3. Clear: match the tool to the pipe
Most clogs are cleared with a cable machine sized for the line. Water jetting is reserved for lines where grease, scale or sludge coats the pipe walls and the pipe is in good enough condition to take the pressure. After clearing, we run water to confirm flow and explain what we found and what, if anything, should be watched.
| What you notice | Points toward |
|---|---|
| Only the kitchen sink drains slowly | Kitchen branch line or trap, often grease and food waste |
| Toilet gurgles when the tub drains | Shared branch or main line restriction, or a venting issue |
| Water comes up in the shower or tub when the washer empties | Main line or lower branch blockage |
| Every drain in the house is slow | Main sewer line, or a full septic tank on septic homes |
| Same drain clogs every few weeks | Buildup the last clearing did not remove, roots, or a pipe defect |
Start with the pattern
Is it one clogged drain or my main sewer line?
If only one fixture is slow, the restriction may be in that fixture's trap or the short branch pipe behind it. If two or more fixtures on different sides of the house are affected, or the lowest drain in the home is the one backing up, the restriction is more likely in the main line that carries all the household waste out to the city sewer or the septic tank.
That difference changes the job. A bathroom sink full of hair can be cleared from the sink. A main line blockage is usually cleared from a cleanout, the capped access pipe often found outside near the foundation or in the yard. Knowing which one you have before the visit helps us bring the right machine, so note which drains act up and when.
These signs are a starting point, not a diagnosis. Venting problems, a partially collapsed pipe or a full septic tank can look like an ordinary clog, which is why the technician confirms the cause on site before recommending anything beyond clearing.
Fixture drains we clear
Kitchen, bathroom, laundry and floor drains
Du-All Plumbing clears kitchen drains, shower and tub drains, bathroom sink drains, toilet drains, floor drains, washer and laundry sink drains, and downspout drains. Each one clogs for its own reasons. Kitchen lines collect grease, coffee grounds and starchy food that the garbage disposal grinds but cannot dissolve. Bathroom lines collect hair and soap film. Laundry lines catch lint and other debris.
For toilets that back up more than once, see our toilet repair page, since the cause may be the toilet itself rather than the line. If a garbage disposal is jammed, failing or leaking, replacement may make more sense than repeated clearing, and a disposal coupon is listed on this page.
Floor drains in garages, utility rooms and commercial spaces are easy to forget until one overflows. They often dry out, letting sewer odor into the room, or fill with sand and debris washed in from outside.
Recurring clogs
Why does my drain keep clogging after it was cleared?
A drain that clogs again shortly after clearing usually means the first clearing opened a path through the blockage without removing what caused it. A cable punches a hole through grease or sludge, water flows again, and the same coating catches new debris within weeks.
Grease buildup and tree roots are two possible causes of recurring clogs. Grease cools and hardens inside kitchen and main lines, narrowing the pipe like a clogged artery. Roots find small gaps at pipe joints, grow toward the moisture inside, and form a mat that catches paper and waste. Pipe sags, cracks and offset joints can also hold debris in the same spot every time.
When a clog keeps returning, we recommend looking inside the line before clearing it a third or fourth time. A camera shows whether the pipe is coated, root-invaded or damaged, and that answer decides whether the fix is a more thorough cleaning, a maintenance schedule, or a repair. Our article on why roots are a problem for sewer lines explains the root side in more detail.
Looking before deciding
When is a drain camera inspection worth it?
A camera inspection is worth it when the answer will change what you do next. That includes recurring clogs, suspected roots, signs of a broken pipe such as sewage odor in the yard or soggy ground over the line, and older homes where nobody knows what the pipe is made of or how it was run.
It is usually not worth it for a first-time clog in a single fixture with an obvious cause. We would rather clear the drain and tell you to call if it comes back than add a step you do not need.
When we do run one, we can show you what the line looks like and where problems sit along its length. That is the information needed to compare cleaning against repair. If the camera finds a break, a belly or heavy root intrusion, the next step is usually covered on our sewer line repair page.
Water jetting, used selectively
Is hydro jetting right for my drain?
Water jetting sends high-pressure water through the line to scour grease, scale and sludge off the pipe walls. Du-All Plumbing runs jetting trucks, and jetting can do what a cable cannot: clean the full diameter of the pipe instead of punching a hole through the blockage.
It is not always the right call. Jetting suits lines in sound condition that are coated with grease or sediment, such as busy kitchen lines and commercial drains. It may not be appropriate for pipes that are cracked, badly deteriorated, or already separated at the joints, where pressure can make a weak spot worse. In those cases we will explain why and talk about repair instead.
For most single-fixture clogs in a home, a properly sized cable machine does the job. We choose jetting when the pipe condition and the type of buildup make it the better tool, not as a default upsell.
Where the household drain ends
Drain cleaning: main line clearing on sewer and septic homes
In Palm Beach, Martin and St. Lucie counties, some homes drain to a city sewer and many others drain to a septic tank. The symptoms of a main line clog and a full or failing septic system can look almost the same: slow drains everywhere, gurgling, and backups in the lowest fixture.
Because Du-All Plumbing pumps and repairs septic systems as well as clearing lines, the technician can check both sides of the problem. If sludge and scum buildup call for pumping, line clearing alone will not address it. A septic tank normally contains liquid, so a full liquid level by itself does not prove pumping is the answer. Learn more on our septic tank services page.
Main sewer line clearing is part of the line-clearing coupon on this page, which also covers clearing a sink or toilet. Offers are not combinable, so please mention the coupon when you call and we will confirm it applies to your job.

Simple habits that help
How can I keep my drains from clogging again?
The most effective prevention is keeping the wrong things out of the pipes. Most of it costs nothing and takes no tools.
If you have had more than one main line clog in a year, ask about a maintenance cleaning schedule. A planned visit gives you a chance to discuss recurring problems before another backup. Our article on common plumbing problems and how to avoid them has more everyday tips.
- Wipe greasy pans with a paper towel before washing and put cooled grease in the trash
- Use a strainer in kitchen and shower drains and empty it often
- Run plenty of cold water while the disposal runs and after it stops
- Flush only toilet paper; wipes labeled flushable still catch on roots and joints
- Skip repeated chemical drain openers, which can damage pipes and make the clog harder to clear

Before you call
Drain Cleaning questions, answered
Do you use a camera on every drain call?
No. We use a camera when it adds useful information, such as recurring clogs, suspected roots or a possible broken pipe. A simple first-time clog usually does not need one.
Are chemical drain cleaners safe to use?
Do not mix drain chemicals or keep adding products to a blocked line. Follow the product label and tell the plumber exactly what was used, since retained chemicals can make service hazardous.
Where is my main line cleanout?
A cleanout is often a capped pipe near the foundation or along the sewer route, but location and accessibility vary. Share any plans or prior service records and ask the team to identify appropriate access.
Can a clogged main line cause a toilet to overflow?
Yes. When the main line is blocked, the lowest fixtures in the home, often toilets and showers, are usually the first to back up.
Do you clear drains for businesses?
Yes. Du-All Plumbing clears floor drains, trench drains, kitchen lines and parking lot drains and offers water jetting for commercial properties.
