Signs of a Clogged Drain
Water Backing up Out of Sink Drain
Your sink drain should always empty water smoothly. If water is rising in your drain instead of flowing out of it, you could have a clog that needs to be cleared by a professional.
Water Pools Around Shower Drain
Shower drains are made to swiftly discharge water. But if water is collecting around your feet and remaining stagnant around your shower drain, there could be a blockage.
Water Pools Before Draining
Even if your water may still be draining, there might be a very troublesome and harmful blockage. You may be seeing pools of water around your drains and in your sinks, which will ultimately empty.
Toilet Water Bubbles
If there is bubbling in the toilet when you use a different fixture, it can sometimes point to an interconnected plumbing problem.
Drains Make Noises
You may have a potential clog in your pipes if your drains are making gurgling sounds after running your dishwasher or washing machine. Strange sounds coming from your drains can often indicate a problem in the pipes.
Odors
- Rotting Food: If you smell something bad, like rotting food coming from your kitchen sink, it can be a sign of clogged drains throughout the home. There might be food stuck somewhere in the pipes.
- Sewer Smells: Sewage smells are frequent indicators of blocked sewer drains.

Camera Inspections
Our skilled service technicians at Burton AC, Heating, Plumbing & More utilize plumbing video cameras to inspect your pipes rather than disassembling your entire plumbing system. We use our video cameras to help us recover your misplaced objects, examine sewage systems, inspect potential homes, and offer thorough inspections for home renovations.
Hydro Jetting
Our hydro jetting service is an efficient sewer cleaning technique for removing stubborn obstructions. We use a big water tank with a high-pressure hose and nozzle to clear debris out of your plumbing system.

Replacing Drain Parts
- Fixture Drain: A fixture drain is the upper, visible part of a tub, shower, or sink that starts the drainage pathway. It is rarely the source of drain problems, as most common problems occur downstream, except for hair clogging a pop-up stopper in a bathroom sink or bathtub.
- Drain Trap
- P-Trap: The drain trap, also known as the P-trap, is a curved pipe below a plumbing fixture shaped like the letter “P.” It’s designed to hold standing water and seal the drain system while preventing sewer gasses from rising into the home.
- Toilet Trap: A toilet trap is a curved drain that functions like a sink or bathtub drain to prevent sewer gasses from entering the bathroom. It is part of the toilet and can be seen from the side of the toilet bowl unit.
- Drain Line: The main drain line is a large, buried pipe that transports household sewage to the municipal sewer line. It runs horizontally under the lowest floor of a home, typically 4 inches in diameter, and may be made of ABS, PVC plastic, clay, or cast iron. It is rarely visible due to its location under the home’s basement or foundation slab.
Sewer pipe cracks may cause major health dangers as well as costly and substantial property damage if ignored. Keep an eye out for blockages in drains, continual drain issues, water accumulating near basement floor drains, or strange sounds coming from pipes and toilets. These problems may indicate that further mainline sewer inspection, repair, or replacement is necessary.

What Can Cause Drain Issues?
A blocked or damaged drain can be the fault of a variety of different issues. Some of the most common causes of drain issues are as follows:
Soap Scum Buildup
Soap scum buildup can lead to standing water.
Broken or Cracked Pipe
A broken or cracked pipe may cause a foul, rotten egg-like odor to come from your drain.
Tree Root Invasion
Should there be sewage present in the standing water, there may be a tree root intrusion in your underground pipes or a broken sewer line.
Kitchen Grease
A buildup of grease in the kitchen can be the culprit of a minor blockage in your drain, and it is recommended that you have the pipe flushed.
Hair
If there are small blockages caused by hair or grease buildup in the drains, they might be able to clear the obstruction by using high-pressure water to flush the pipes.
Avoiding Drain Issues
Don’t Put Things Down the Drain
Refrain from running eggshells, coffee grinds, and other non-soluble materials through the garbage disposal. Don’t flush fat, grease, or oil down the toilet.
Use a Drain Strainer
To collect hair, food particles, and other waste, use a drain strainer.
Regularly Flush Drains
Use hot water to regularly flush drains to help break down buildup.
Drain Maintenance
Preventive drain maintenance will help preserve the functionality of your drains. Consider calling Burton AC, Heating, Plumbing & More to schedule routine drain inspections with our friendly professionals.

Our $93 or Free Drain Opening Special
What is drain opening? The process of opening a drain involves snaking a particular wire down a difficult drain. When the cable finds the source of the barrier, it punctures it and restores the flow of water. The blockage is eliminated in a matter of seconds because the cable is connected to a strong motor that turns a blade at the end of the line. For common blockages, such as cooking grease or hair accumulation in the bathroom, opening the drain is an easy repair. Additionally, it’s a wise choice for blockages in older, more sensitive plumbing because it’s the gentler clog clearing alternative.
In one visit, we guarantee to unclog your common blockage with our drain opening procedure for the cost of one visit, or our trip is on us. Give us a call at (402) 343-0011 and we’ll bring fast flow back to your pipes.
