Blocked Drains Cleared Before They Overflow

Professional clog removal for homes and businesses in Marble Falls

When water stops draining in your kitchen sink or shower, it usually means grease, hair, soap, or debris has built up enough to block the pipe. You might notice water pooling around your feet in the shower or a sink that takes several minutes to empty after you wash dishes. Homes in Marble Falls often deal with these issues in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and main sewer lines, and the longer you wait, the more likely you are to deal with standing water or unpleasant smells.

What Happens When a Blockage Gets Removed

The plumber evaluates which fixture is affected and where the blockage is likely located, then uses mechanical tools or water pressure to break up or pull out the material causing the problem. In Marble Falls, kitchen clogs are often grease-based, while bathroom clogs tend to involve hair and soap residue. The goal is to restore full drainage without removing pipe sections unless absolutely necessary.


Once the clog is cleared, water drains at its normal speed again. You will no longer see pooling in the sink or tub, and any slow gurgling sounds typically stop. The process is fast and gets your plumbing back to working order the same day in most cases.


If the clog was caused by something deeper in the system, such as a main line issue, the plumber will explain what was found and whether any follow-up work is needed. This service does not include repairs to damaged pipes, but it does address the blockage itself and helps you understand what led to it.

You probably have a question or two

Most people want to know how long the clearing will take, whether the clog will come back, and what caused it in the first place. Below are answers to the most common questions about clog removal.


  • What causes most drain clogs in homes? Grease and food particles cause most kitchen clogs, while hair and soap scum are the main culprits in bathrooms. Laundry drains can clog from lint buildup, and main lines sometimes collect tree roots or foreign objects.
  • How long does it take to clear a typical clog? Most clogs are cleared within an hour. If the blockage is deep in the main line or involves multiple fixtures, it may take longer depending on access and severity.
  • Why does my drain keep clogging after I clear it myself? DIY methods often push the blockage further down rather than removing it completely. You may also have buildup along the pipe walls that narrows the opening and catches debris more easily over time.
  • What tools are used to remove a clog? Plumbers use drain snakes, augers, and hydro jetting equipment depending on the type and location of the blockage. The method is chosen based on what will clear the pipe without causing damage.
  • When should I call a plumber instead of trying to fix it myself? If plunging does not work after a few tries, or if multiple drains are slow at the same time, you likely have a deeper blockage that requires professional tools. Persistent clogs in Marble Falls homes often indicate buildup that will not clear with store-bought products.


When a drain stops working the way it should, it usually gets worse before it gets better. Marble Falls Plumbing LLC can assess the situation, locate the blockage, and restore normal drainage without unnecessary disruption. Reach out to schedule a visit and get your plumbing working properly again.
