Clearing a Floor Drain With a Cable
A drain cable machine feeds a flexible cable into the drain to clear a blockage. Once the drain is cleared, water is run to confirm it is flowing.
See drain cleaning and our guide to drain cabling and hydro jetting.
If a Floor Drain Keeps Backing Up
A single blockage can usually be cleared. If a floor drain keeps backing up, a camera inspection can show the condition of the line. See what a sewer camera inspection shows and our guide on repeated drain stoppages.

Drain Cleaning in Helotes: FAQs
Do you clear drains in Helotes?
Yes. Helotes is within our regular service area, and we clear floor drains and other drain lines there. Availability depends on technician scheduling, location, access, and current call volume, so please call to confirm for your address.
What is a drain cable?
A drain cable is a flexible cable fed into a drain by a machine to clear a blockage. Once the drain is cleared, water is run to confirm it is flowing.
Why is my floor drain backing up?
A blockage in the drain or further down the line can cause it. Clearing the drain and checking the flow comes first. If it keeps happening, a camera inspection can help show the condition of the line.
Cable or hydro jetting: which is used?
It depends on the line, its condition, and the problem. A drain cable works well for many blockages, while hydro jetting may be considered for other situations. On the job above, a drain cable cleared the floor drain.
Are you licensed?
Yes. Work is performed by or under the supervision of a Responsible Master Plumber licensed by the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners (TSBPE).
