Kitchen & bathroom drains
Grease, soap, and hair slowly narrow pipes until water barely moves. We use the right tools for each drain type to remove buildup without damaging your plumbing.
Drain Cleaning & Unclogging
Drain cleaning in Dallas & DFW that actually fixes the problem.
Slow sinks, gurgling tubs, and recurring clogs are more than an annoyance — they're a sign your drains need professional attention. 448 Plumbing uses proven methods like snaking and hydro-jetting to clear buildup and restore proper flow in kitchen, bathroom, and main lines.
Floor drains & utility lines
Basement, garage, and laundry drains often collect debris that standard home tools can't reach. We clear these safely so water has a clean path to exit.
Main line clogs
If multiple fixtures are backing up, the main sewer line is likely affected. We can perform camera inspections to locate blockages and recommend the right fix.
Signs you need professional drain cleaning
- Water pooling in tubs or showers for more than a few minutes
- Gurgling sounds when toilets flush or sinks drain
- Recurring clogs that come back shortly after plunging
- Unpleasant odors from sinks or floor drains
- Backups in more than one fixture at the same time
If you notice any of these, it's time to call a professional. Persistent issues can indicate deeper problems in the main line or vent system.
Our drain cleaning approach
We don't just poke a hole in the blockage and hope for the best. Our technicians use a combination of mechanical augers, hydro-jetting, and camera inspection when needed to clear buildup and give you a clear picture of the condition of your pipes.
If we spot root intrusions, cracked lines, or severe corrosion, we'll explain your options for repair or replacement and help you choose a plan that fits your budget and timeline.

Drain cleaning FAQ
Can I use store-bought drain cleaners?
Chemical drain cleaners can damage pipes, fixtures, and finishes — especially in older homes. They also rarely solve the root cause of the clog. We recommend avoiding harsh chemicals and calling a professional if plunging doesn't work.
How often should I have my drains cleaned?
For homes with heavy kitchen use or older plumbing, a preventative cleaning every 12–24 months can reduce emergency clogs. We'll recommend a schedule based on what we see in your system.
Do you offer camera inspections?
Yes. For recurring or severe issues, we can run a camera through the line to locate breaks, roots, or foreign objects. This allows us to target repairs instead of guessing.
Will drain cleaning damage my pipes?
When done correctly with the right equipment, professional drain cleaning is safe for most plumbing systems. Our technicians adjust tools and techniques based on pipe material and condition.
