Local Drain Problems We See

Specific geographical challenges can wreak havoc on your drains, causing common problems from:

  • Hard Water Scale: Lots of mineral buildup in the local water, such as calcium and magnesium, can collect inside your pipes
  • Shifting Clay Soils: Expansive clay soils swell and contract around the foundation of your home, especially in established neighborhoods such as Oliver Eakle, Wolflin, or San Jacinto
  • Tree Root Intrusion: Deep-rooting trees such as Elms and cottonwoods can cause tiny cracks in older sewer lines.
  • Aging Systems: Homes throughout neighborhoods such as The Colonies, Puckett, Greenways, Sleepy Hollow, and Downtown Amarillo may experience varying drain issues depending on their plumbing system’s age and construction.

frequently asked questions

How do I know if my drain needs a standard snaking or HydroScrub® jetting?
Snaking removes localized clogs at the trap and vents near the fixture, such as hair or other small items. HydroScrub® Jetting can scour the entire pipe wall with high-pressure water. Hydro jetting in Amarillo is needed for serious grease buildup, whether tree roots or mineral scale are the culprit standard snakes only puncture it.
Yes. Chemical drain cleaners sold in stores are based on caustic chemicals that produce heat and destroy clogging material. If you have old, legacy cast-iron or galvanized pipe in older Amarillo neighborhoods, like Wolflin or Oliver Eakle, these harsh chemicals trap heat inside the line and quickly corrode the pipes, eating through more than just drain clogs. They can also eat away at the thin walls of your drain, which can lead to expensive leaks beneath your slab or lawn.
Very rarely is a drain slowdown caused directly at the sink or tub drain. This is usually caused by something a little further in the system, especially if it keeps happening. In Panhandle homes, the most common cause of repeated clogs is a buildup of mineral scale that narrows the pipe diameter, shifting clay soil that creates a low spot in your main sewer line, or tree roots penetrating between pipes.
The price of this service can vary considerably depending on whether the clog is in a branch drain or the main sewer line, how it will be removed safely (via snaking or hydro jetting), and whether pipes need to be accessed through digging and excavation. At Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Amarillo, we look at your problem first and provide upfront, flat-rate pricing after we have identified the issue, before any work is done, so you know exactly what it will cost without having to worry about hidden costs or last-minute hourly rate additions!
