Consider professional drain service if you’ve noticed persistent slow drains that don’t improve with basic methods like plunging. Multiple clogged fixtures often indicate a problem in your main line rather than individual drains. Recurring clogs in the same fixture suggest a deeper issue that DIY methods won’t solve. Unusual sounds or odors from drains typically require professional attention. Luke’s Plumbing & Air Conditioning’s Houston drain specialists can quickly diagnose whether your issue requires professional service or might benefit from simpler solutions.
A localized clog affects only a single fixture—one sink drains slowly while everything else works fine. Main drain issues affect multiple fixtures, often causing backups in the lowest drains first (basement fixtures or first-floor bathtubs). When using one fixture causes water to back up in another (like running the washing machine makes the toilet bubble), that’s a classic sign of a main line problem. Main drain issues in Houston often require professional equipment like cameras and power augers to resolve properly.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency drain and sewer services throughout Houston. Sewer backups and major drain issues can’t wait for business hours, especially when they create unsanitary conditions in your home.

We prioritize emergencies based on severity, with sewage backups into living spaces receiving immediate attention. Even for after-hours service, we provide upfront pricing before beginning any work.
To prevent sewer backups in Houston homes, be mindful of what goes down your drains—avoid grease, oils, wet wipes, paper towels, feminine products, and excessive toilet paper. Consider installing drain screens to catch hair and debris. Schedule professional cleaning annually, especially if you have trees near your sewer line, as roots commonly cause problems in Houston’s clay soil. For homes in areas with frequent backups, a backwater valve can prevent sewage from flowing backward into your home during heavy rains or municipal system issues.
If you experience a sewer backup in your Houston home, first stop using all plumbing fixtures to prevent additional sewage from entering your home. If possible, identify whether the backup is limited to one fixture (likely a localized clog) or affects multiple drains (indicating a sewer line issue). For safety, keep family members away from contaminated areas. Then call Luke’s Plumbing & Air Conditioning immediately—we respond quickly to sewer emergencies with the specialized equipment needed to resolve backups safely and prevent recurring problems.
Hydro jetting in Houston uses water and pressure to clean your pipes. It means you don’t have to put any caustic chemicals down your lines and it also means you don’t have to worry about invasive pipe cleaning methods. Instead, we access your pipes or your sewer line from inside your house or from the hatch in your yard, then use simple water to eliminate those clogs.
A video sewer inspection is when our team of experts uses a very thin and flexible camera that is put throughout the length of the drain that you have at home. This camera will be able to pinpoint the source of your piping issues without having to conduct any invasive excavations. This shows us what is going on down there, where the issue is located, and then allows us to locate it from aboveground, too. These inspections may also help us find lost items that go down the drains, like wedding rings and more!
