Sink, shower, tub or toilet: cleared, not just unstuck.

Bathroom drains clog on hair, soap scum and toothpaste, and the toilet clogs on what should never have gone in it. Royal Flush Affordable Plumbing clears each fixture at the right spot in the line, checks the others while we are there, and leaves the bathroom as clean as we found it.

Signs you need this

What a bathroom drain is telling you before it stops.

Each fixture clogs for its own reason, and each one points to a different spot in the line.

Sink drains slowly

Hair, toothpaste and soap collect on the pop-up stopper and in the trap. Easy to clear, easy to keep clearing badly.

Water pools at your feet in the shower

A hair mat sits just past the strainer or in the trap. If the whole run is slow, scum has lined the branch line.

The toilet needs two flushes

A partial blockage in the trap or the closet bend. Flushable wipes are the usual cause, whatever the packet says.

One drain gurgles when another runs

Fixtures that talk to each other share a line that is partly blocked, or a vent that is.

A sewer smell near the floor

A dry trap in a floor drain or an unused shower lets sewer gas through. Sometimes the fix is just running water.

Everything in the bathroom is slow at once

That is past the bathroom. The branch to the main, or the main line itself, is the problem.

What we actually do

The right tool for each fixture.

A bathroom sink gets the stopper pulled and the trap cleaned, then a small cable if the branch is slow. A shower gets the strainer off and a cable through the trap. A toilet gets a closet auger, which clears the trap without scratching the porcelain, or gets pulled off the flange if the blockage is below it.

If two or more fixtures are slow together, we go to the cleanout and run the branch line to the main. Clearing one sink at a time when the shared line is the problem just moves the clog around.

  • Closet auger for toiletsA toilet is never cabled with a drain machine. The wrong tool cracks the bowl.
  • Every fixture testedWe run the sink, shower and toilet together before we leave.
  • Camera on repeat clogsA toilet that clogs monthly usually has something lodged past the trap. We look.
How we fix it

A bathroom drain call, start to finish.

Most bathroom clogs are cleared in a single visit, with the floor covered and the fixtures wiped down after.

Toilet overflowing?

Turn the supply valve behind the toilet clockwise to stop the fill, then call. Do not flush again.

  1. 1
    Right away

    You tell us which fixture

    Sink, shower, tub or toilet, and whether more than one is slow. That tells us whether it is a fixture clog or a line clog.

  2. 2
    On arrival

    We find where the clog sits

    Stopper, trap, closet bend or branch line. A quick test of the other fixtures tells us how far in to go.

  3. 3
    Before any work

    You get the price

    One number for the clearing, upfront. If a toilet needs pulling or a line needs a camera, you hear that first.

  4. 4
    Same visit

    Cleared, tested, wiped down

    The fixture is cleared, run hard to confirm, and the bathroom is left clean.

What affects the price

What moves the price on a bathroom drain.

Upfront, before any work. These are the variables.

Which fixture

A sink trap is quick. A toilet that has to come off the flange, with a new wax ring, is more work.

Fixture clog or line clog

One slow fixture is a short job. A shared branch line that needs cabling from the cleanout is a longer one.

What is in the line

Hair clears easily. Wipes, toys and dental floss wrapped around the cable take longer and sometimes need the toilet pulled.

The coupon

$50 off any drain or sewer cleaning. Mention it when you book and show it at the time of service.

Bathroom Drain Cleaning FAQs

Bathroom drain questions we hear every week.

Still not sure? Call and describe the problem. We’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a 20-minute fix or a job worth quoting.

Ask a plumber: 281-612-1015
01Are flushable wipes really a problem?
Yes. They do not break down the way toilet paper does. They snag in the closet bend or the branch line and collect everything behind them. Most toilet clogs we clear in Houston involve wipes.
02My bathroom sink is slow but the shower is fine. Is it the line?
Probably not. One slow fixture usually means hair and soap at the stopper or trap of that fixture. When two or more fixtures in the same bathroom slow down together, the shared line is the problem.
03Why does my shower gurgle when the toilet flushes?
The toilet is pushing air through a partly blocked line or a vent that is restricted. It is an early warning for a branch or main line clog. Worth clearing before it backs up into the shower.
04Can you fix a toilet that keeps clogging?
Yes. A toilet that clogs every few weeks usually has something lodged past the trap, a partial blockage in the closet bend, or a worn flush. We clear it and check whether the toilet itself should be repaired. See our toilet repair service if the fixture is the issue.
05Is there a coupon for bathroom drain cleaning?
Yes. $50 off any drain or sewer cleaning service. Mention it when you book and show it at the time of service.
