Kitchen sink
A kitchen sink that drains slowly or not at all can be blocked in the trap under the sink or further along the line. The plumber clears the stoppage and checks that the water now runs freely.
Drain Cleaning in Cedar Hill
Is it the kitchen sink, a tub or shower, the laundry or the main line out of the house that is giving trouble? Call and tell us, and the plumber you hire clears that one.
The page also explains where the city’s care of the sewer line stops and where yours starts.
Which drain is giving trouble
Bath and shower drains
Tubs and showers that pool water around your feet are slowed by what has built up in the drain. The plumber clears that buildup and tests the drain before leaving.
Washer and floor drains
A laundry standpipe or floor drain that backs up gets cleared from its own opening toward the main line, working in the direction the water should flow.
The main sewer line
If several drains slow together, or water climbs in the lowest fixture, the main sewer line may be blocked. Clearing it comes first, and a camera can then show the condition of the pipe.
Who looks after the line past the property line
Cedar Hill’s Code Sec. 18-46 has the city maintain the wastewater service connection only from the main to the property line.
The building lateral, the pipe from the building drain to the wastewater service line at the property, sits on the lot and belongs to the owner.
A clog that keeps coming back
A drain that slows again soon after it was cleared can mean the blockage sits further along the line than the fixture. A camera run shows where it is.
The sewer line repair page picks up where a drain stops being the problem and the pipe itself has failed. Worn sink and tub parts are on the fixture repair page, and everything else is on the homepage.
