A slow drain is a warning. A drain that's stopped completely is a problem that doesn't fix itself. Southern Plumber LLC clears clogged drains and sewer lines for homes and businesses across Mobile and Baldwin County, and we're available 24/7 when a backup can't wait until morning.
We don't just poke a hole through the clog and leave. We clear the line fully, find out why it clogged, and tell you honestly whether it's a one-time fix or a sign of something bigger.
Call us if you're seeing any of these:
The last two on that list usually point to the main sewer line rather than a single drain. Those are the calls we'd rather get today than next week.
Bathroom drains — Hair, soap scum, and toothpaste buildup in sinks, tubs, and showers. Usually a quick auger job.
Toilets — Stubborn clogs that a plunger won't move, and repeat clogs that point to a partial blockage further down the line.
Kitchen and laundry drains — Grease, food waste, and lint are the usual culprits. Read more here: Kitchen & Laundry Drains.
Floor drains — Garages, utility rooms, and commercial spaces where a clogged floor drain means water goes everywhere else.
Main sewer lines — The big one. When the line between your house and the street clogs, every drain in the house is affected. Root intrusion, collapsed or offset pipe, and years of buildup are the common causes on the Gulf Coast.
Augers (drain snakes) — A motorized cable with a cutting head that breaks up and pulls out the blockage. Right tool for most single-drain clogs.
Hydro jetting — High-pressure water that scours the inside of the pipe wall clean instead of just punching through the clog. Removes grease, scale, and root fragments that a snake leaves behind. This is what we recommend for main lines, lines that keep clogging, and commercial kitchen drains.
Camera inspection — For main line clogs and repeat problems, we can run a camera through the line to see exactly what's causing it—roots, a belly in the pipe, a break—before recommending a repair. See more on that at Video Pipe Inspections.
If your home doesn't have an accessible cleanout, clearing a main line gets harder and messier. We can add one so the next service is faster. See Clean-Out Installations.
We'd rather you didn't. Store-bought drain chemicals rarely clear a real clog, they sit in the pipe and corrode it, and they make the job hazardous for whoever opens the line next. If you've already used one, tell us when you call so we can work safely.
Most clogs are preventable. Keep grease out of the kitchen sink, use drain screens in showers, and don't flush anything but toilet paper—"flushable" wipes included. If you've got older lines, mature trees near the sewer line, or a history of repeat clogs, a scheduled cleaning once a year is cheaper than an emergency call. Ask us about it, or see Preventative Maintenance.
It depends on where the clog is and what it takes to clear it. A single bathroom drain is a quick job; a main sewer line with roots is not. We give an upfront estimate before starting, at no cost, so there are no surprises.
Snaking clears the clog. Hydro jetting cleans the pipe. For a one-off bathroom or toilet clog, a snake is usually all you need. For main lines, grease-heavy kitchen lines, and drains that keep clogging, hydro jetting removes the buildup that causes the next clog.
Yes. Main line clogs are the most common reason multiple drains back up at once. We clear them, and if the line keeps failing we can camera it to find the cause.
A single slow sink can usually wait for a scheduled visit. Sewage backing up into a tub, multiple fixtures failing at once, or water in the yard over the sewer line should be handled right away. We answer the phone 24/7 for those.
Yes. We service restaurants, offices, and commercial facilities across Mobile and Baldwin County, including grease-heavy kitchen lines.
