What's Your Drain Doing?
Draining Slowly
Water eventually goes down, but it’s taking longer than it should. Buildup inside the drain may be restricting water flow.
Completely Clogged
Water isn’t draining at all—or it’s backing up into the sink, tub or shower.
Keeps Clogging Again
If you’re clearing the same drain over and over, there may be a deeper or more persistent problem that hasn’t been addressed.
Multiple Drains Are Slow
When several fixtures begin draining slowly or backing up around the same time, the problem may be farther into the home’s drainage system.
Why Does My Drain Keep Clogging?
If you’ve cleared the same drain multiple times and the problem keeps returning, something else may be going on.
Recurring clogs can sometimes be associated with:
- Buildup that wasn't fully removed
- Grease accumulation
- Hair and soap buildup
- Something lodged in the drain
- Problems farther down the drain line
- Issues with the condition or configuration of the piping
A recurring clog doesn’t automatically mean there’s a major sewer problem. But it does give us a reason to look beyond the immediate backup.
Don’t Keep Treating the Same Symptom
If you’re constantly plunging, snaking or treating the same drain, let us take a look at why the problem keeps returning.
Drains We Clean
Kitchen Drains
Grease, food particles, soap and other material can gradually build up inside kitchen drain piping.
We can help with slow or clogged:
- Kitchen sinks
- Garbage disposal drains
- Kitchen branch drains
- Recurring kitchen sink backups
Bathroom Drains
Hair, soap residue and other buildup are common causes of bathroom drain problems.
Signs can include:
- Bathroom sinks
- Showers
- Bathtubs
- Other household drain lines
Other Household Drains
If you're having trouble with another drain in your home, give us a call. We'll help determine whether the problem is isolated to that fixture or connected to a larger drainage issue.
Drain Snaking & Augering
For many common clogs, a professional drain snake or auger can reach into the drain line and break through or remove the obstruction.
Drain Camera Inspection
When a clog keeps returning or there's reason to suspect a problem farther into the piping, a camera inspection may help us better understand what's happening inside the line. We'll work to identify the source and determine the appropriate repair.
Hydro Jetting When Appropriate
For certain types of buildup and drain-line conditions, hydro jetting may be an option. We'll determine whether it's appropriate for the particular plumbing system and problem.
The right way to clear a drain depends on what’s causing the blockage and where it’s located.
Pro Veterans Plumbing will evaluate the problem and use an appropriate drain-clearing method for the situation.
How We Clear Clogged Drains
One Slow Drain or Several?
One Drain Is Slow
When only one sink, shower or bathtub is having trouble, the blockage may be located in or near that fixture’s individual drain line.
Common causes can include:
✓ Hair
✓ Soap buildup
✓ Food debris
✓ Grease
✓ Localized drain buildup
✓ Foreign objects
Often points toward:
A localized drain problem.
Several Drains Are Slow
If multiple drains begin backing up, gurgling or draining slowly at the same time, the problem could be farther downstream in the drainage system.
Watch for:
✓ Multiple slow drains
✓ Toilets behaving unusually
✓ Water backing up into another fixture
✓ Gurgling from drains
✓ Problems throughout one area of the home
✓ Recurring whole-home drainage problems
May point toward:
A larger drain or sewer-line issue.
The goal isn’t just to make water disappear from the sink. It’s to understand why the drain isn’t working properly and choose the right way to address it.
Our Simple 4-Step Drain Cleaning Process
1. Check the Problem
We'll start with the drain that's slow, clogged or backing up and ask what's been happening.
2. Determine Where the Problem Is
We'll evaluate whether the issue appears to be isolated to the fixture or may be farther into the drainage system.
3. Clear the Drain
We'll use an appropriate drain-cleaning method based on the problem we find.
Check the Flow
Once the work is complete, we'll check the drain and make sure water is moving properly.
CHECK IT ★ FIND IT ★ CLEAR IT ★ TEST IT
When a Clogged Drain May Be More Than a Clog
Sometimes a drain problem is telling you something about the larger plumbing system.
- Multiple fixtures backing up
- Toilets gurgling when another fixture drains
- Water coming up through another drain
- Several slow drains at once
- Recurring backups throughout the home
- Sewage or wastewater backing up into the house

PVP Hot Tip
When a drain is clogged, pouring a bottle of chemical cleaner into it can seem like the easiest solution.
But repeated use of harsh drain-cleaning chemicals isn’t a substitute for determining why the drain keeps clogging.
If the drain clears and then slows down again—or doesn’t clear at all—there may be buildup, an obstruction or another plumbing issue that needs to be addressed.
A Better Question:
“Why does this drain keep clogging?”
Finding the cause can be more useful than repeatedly treating the symptom.
Drain Cleaning FAQs
Recurring clogs can be caused by ongoing buildup, grease, hair, foreign material or a problem farther into the drainage system. If the same drain repeatedly clogs, it may be worth determining why rather than continuing to clear the symptom.
Yes. We can address slow and clogged kitchen drains, including problems involving kitchen sinks and drainage around garbage disposals.
Yes. Hair, soap residue and other buildup can restrict shower and bathtub drains, and we can determine an appropriate method for clearing the blockage.
When multiple drains are affected at the same time, the problem may be farther into the home’s drainage or sewer system rather than isolated to one fixture.
Camera inspection may be appropriate when we need additional information about what’s happening inside a drain or sewer line, particularly with recurring or more complex problems.
Hydro jetting may be an option for certain drain-line conditions and types of buildup. We’ll determine whether it is appropriate for the specific plumbing system and problem.
Repeatedly pouring harsh chemical cleaners into a slow or clogged drain doesn’t address why the problem is happening. If a clog keeps returning or doesn’t clear, professional evaluation is a better next step.
A single slow drain usually isn’t an emergency. However, an active sewage backup, wastewater entering the home or a widespread drainage problem should be addressed promptly.
