Main Drain Line Cleaning in Southlake, TX: How Often Your Home's Main Line Needs It

Your washer standpipe might overflow during the spin cycle. Or your kitchen sink might back up after dinner. In a Southlake home, these are often the first signs of a main line problem.

Watch for these clues:

• Water rises in a tub when the washer drains
• The kitchen sink gurgles
• Drains on your lowest floor run slowly

Most homes here sit on a slab, with the main line running under the floor. Your kitchen and laundry send the most water into it. That's why trouble shows up at those drains before anywhere else.

Your Clariden Ranch home may have five bathrooms and a kitchen that hosts dinner often. A busy home like yours sends a lot through one main line.

More cooking means more grease. More laundry means more lint and soap. More showers add hair and soap scum. All of it meets in the same pipe, so your line needs cleaning more often than a quiet home's. Grease is the leading cause of sewer blockages.

Many large Southlake homes have extra guest baths and a second laundry hookup. Each one feeds the same main line. More drains on one line means buildup forms faster.

You want the visit to go fast and stay clean. A few simple steps before we arrive at your Southlake home help with both.

• Clear a path to the cleanout. Move boxes, bikes, or storage bins out of the way.
• Hold off on laundry and the dishwasher. Less water in the line makes the work go faster.
• Move items near floor drains. Lift rugs, baskets, and anything that shouldn't get wet.

Your cleanout may sit in the garage, the laundry room, or a landscape bed by the foundation. If you're not sure where it is, we'll find it.

Your Carillon home's main line should be clear when we leave, and you deserve proof. Here's how we clean it:

1. We run a camera through the main line to see what's inside.
2. We clear it with cabling or hydro jetting, based on what we find.
3. We send the camera through again and run a flow test.

You see the video before and after the cleaning. Our camera finds trouble under a Southlake slab without breaking your floor. We were the first Texas plumbing company to use video sewer inspection, back in 1988.

Your Southlake family wants a clean main line to stay that way. Grease is the biggest threat once we leave. A few kitchen habits make a real difference:

• Cool grease, then toss it in the trash. Pour it into a container once it's cool.
• Wipe pans before washing. A paper towel catches most of the grease.
• Don't count on the disposal. It grinds food, but grease still slips through to your pipes.

The City runs a grease program and offers a seasonal holiday oil drop-off. Learn more on the City of Southlake FOG Program page.
