A slow drain can be more than an inconvenience. A recurring clog, standing water, unpleasant odors, or a drain that suddenly stops flowing can indicate a larger plumbing problem. Horton Plumbing provides professional drain cleaning in Chattanooga and surrounding communities for residential and commercial plumbing systems.
We’ll identify what’s causing the blockage and determine the right way to clear it.

DRAIN PROBLEMS
Is Your Drain Showing Signs of a Clog?
Call Horton Plumbing if you’re dealing with:
- A completely clogged drain
- A sink that drains slowly
- A bathtub or shower that won’t drain
- A repeatedly clogged toilet
- Water backing up into a sink, tub, or shower
- Gurgling or unusual sounds from your drains
- Foul odors coming from a drain
- Multiple drains backing up at the same time
- A clog that keeps coming back after using a chemical drain cleaner
A drain that repeatedly clogs may have an underlying problem that needs more than another bottle of drain cleaner.
SERVICES
Professional Drain Cleaning Services
Kitchen & Bathroom Drains
Grease, food particles, soap, hair, and other debris can accumulate inside your plumbing over time. We can diagnose and clear clogged kitchen and bathroom drains.
Shower & Tub Drains
Hair and soap buildup are common causes of slow or clogged shower and tub drains. We’ll determine what’s restricting the flow and work to clear it.
Toilet Clogs
If plunging isn’t solving the problem or your toilet continues to clog, there may be a deeper obstruction or plumbing issue.
Main Drain & Sewer Backups
When multiple fixtures begin backing up at the same time, the problem may be farther down your plumbing system. Horton Plumbing can evaluate the situation and determine whether the issue involves your main drain or sewer line.
Recurring Drain Clogs
If the same drain keeps clogging, simply clearing the blockage may not solve the underlying problem. We’ll look for clues that indicate a larger plumbing issue.
WHY CALL A PLUMBER?
Why Does My Drain Keep Clogging?
A clog can form for many reasons.
Common causes include:
Hair & soap buildup
Especially common in bathroom sinks, showers, and tubs.
Grease & food buildup
Kitchen drains can accumulate grease and other materials over time.
Foreign objects
Items that shouldn’t go down a drain can become lodged in the plumbing.
Mineral buildup
Hard-water minerals can accumulate inside pipes and reduce the available flow.
Damaged or deteriorating pipes
A damaged pipe can create recurring drainage problems.
Tree roots
For underground sewer lines, tree roots can enter joints or cracks and interfere with normal flow.
If a drain keeps clogging despite being cleared, it’s worth finding out why.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Drain Cleaning FAQs
How do I know if I need professional drain cleaning?
If plunging doesn’t clear the clog, the drain repeatedly becomes blocked, multiple drains are affected, or water is backing up into another fixture, professional evaluation is a good idea.
Why does my drain keep clogging?
Recurring clogs can be caused by buildup, foreign objects, damaged pipes, mineral deposits, tree roots, or other problems within the plumbing system. Repeatedly clearing the same clog without addressing the cause may only provide a temporary solution.
Can a clogged drain indicate a sewer line problem?
Yes. If multiple drains throughout your home are slow or backing up at the same time, the problem may be located farther down the main drain or sewer line rather than at an individual fixture.
Can I prevent clogged drains?
Avoid putting grease, fats, coffee grounds, and other inappropriate materials down kitchen drains. In bathrooms, using a drain screen can help reduce the amount of hair entering the plumbing.
Do you provide commercial drain cleaning?
Yes. Horton Plumbing provides residential and commercial plumbing services in Chattanooga and surrounding communities.
