Our experienced plumbers at Cattlemans Plumbing offer expert drain cleaning in North Richland Hills, TX to keep your drains and sewer lines flowing properly.

Drain Cleaning in North Richland Hills
Drains can become clogged with grease, food, hair, and non-flushable items. They may also become lined with hard mineral buildup. Once we discover the clog, we can use drain snakes to push through it, opening the line. We may use motorized drain snakes that can go deeper into the sewer line and break up the blockages for stubborn clogs, but we could apply other methods as well.
It is wise to seek cleaning services every year as a part of your home maintenance plan. These services keep your pipes running smoothly and prevent annoying backflow or clogged sinks, toilets, and showers.
Professional Drain Repair Services
Sewer lines can become damaged because of soil shifting, tree root invasion, and wear and tear. Cracks and collapses can occur, leading to sewage leaks and backups. There are two main approaches to sewer line and drain repair: traditional and trenchless.
Traditional repairs involve digging a deep trench in your yard and uncovering the affected sewer lines. We use this repair approach when your sewer lines need re-piping due to significant damage or age.
Trenchless options are much more efficient and don’t involve disturbing your landscaping. The most common approach is sending a special liner into the affected pipe. Once in place, we inflate the liner and use heat tools and lights to harden it so it stays in place. Trenchless pipe repairs can last up to 50 years or more.
It is important to recognize the signs you may need drain repair services.

Drain and Sewer Camera Inspections
Before performing any cleaning services, we must inspect the interior of your pipes to identify blockages or damage. Cameras allow us to view the entirety of your system, even those inaccessible ones that run under your foundation.
We use small cameras attached to flexible rods or cables, which allow us to receive real-time images of the plumbing system. They have bright lights illuminating the pipe’s interior, making diagnosing problems like tree root invasion easier. We can view the clog position and contents to make the right decisions about removal. You should schedule a camera inspection at least once a year as a proactive measure to keep your drains free of clogs.
Deep Cleaning With Hydro Jetting
Hydro jetting removes stubborn blockages and can also prevent them from occurring. These machines use high-powered water at up to 4000 psi. Even if you do not have signs of a clog, you should schedule this service every two to three years. As with all drain services, we cannot hydro jet your lines without a camera inspection. Damaged pipes can suffer further damage from the high water pressure, so we must first check for cracks and fragile areas.
The high-powered water can break up serious clogs caused by issues like invasive tree root growth and non-flushable items. First, we find an access point, usually at your sewer cleanout. We will choose the correct nozzle based on the pipe and clog size. Our plumbers will also adjust the water pressure.
Once inserted and turned on, the water jets blast through the sewer lines, pushing debris clogs until they break up and move down the line. Hydro jetting not only breaks up clogs but also cleans the walls of your pipes to prevent future blockages.
