What Causes a Clogged Drain?
Every clogged drain has a cause — and the cause determines the fix. A shower drain clogged with hair clears differently than a kitchen sink coated in grease. A toilet that won’t flush has different culprits than a sink that drains slowly. Before we send a technician, we want to understand which drain is clogged and what symptoms you’re seeing — because the diagnosis affects which equipment we bring on the truck.
Symptoms checklist
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, you have a clogged drain that needs attention:
- Water draining slowly or not at all from one or more fixtures
- Water backing up in a sink, shower, tub, or toilet
- Gurgling sounds from drains or toilets when water flows
- Sewage smells coming from any drain
- Multiple drains slow at the same time (often a main line issue)
- Water coming up through one drain when another fixture is used
- Toilet bubbling when the washing machine or shower runs
- Recurring clogs in the same drain
Whatever your symptoms, Maverick clears clogged drains across LA County — same-day, flat-rate. Call (323) 742-4665 or browse the specific clog types below to find your situation.

Clogged Shower Drain
Hair and soap buildup are the #1 cause of shower drain clogs in LA homes. We clear shower and tub drains fast — same-day service across LA County.
Clogged Toilet
Toilet won't flush, water rising, recurring clogs? We diagnose whether it's the toilet, branch line, or main — then snake or jet as needed.
Clogged Sink
Bathroom and bar sinks slowing down? We clear hair, soap scum, and gunk at the trap and beyond. Same-day, flat-rate.
Kitchen Drain Clog
Grease and food scraps choke kitchen lines, especially in older LA homes with cast iron. We snake, jet, and camera-inspect to clear and prevent recurrence.
Main Line Clog
Multiple drains backing up at once means a main line clog. We diagnose with HD camera and clear with heavy snake or hydro jetting.
Drain Cleanout
No accessible cleanout? We install code-compliant cleanouts so future drain issues can be diagnosed and serviced faster.
How a Maverick Clogged Drain Service Call Works
Step 1 — Phone Call & Dispatch
Call (323) 742-4665 — a real person answers 24/7. We ask about your symptoms (which drain, how long, what you’ve tried), confirm your address, and dispatch a technician with the right snake and equipment. Most LA calls get same-day service.
Step 2 — On-Site Diagnostic
Technician arrives in a marked Maverick truck and inspects the clogged drain plus other fixtures. We check for symptoms beyond the obvious clog — slow drains elsewhere, gurgling, smells. If we see signs of a deeper issue (main line, sewer), we mention it before quoting. The $0 dispatch fee means this diagnostic is free even if you decide not to proceed.
Step 3 — Clear the Clog
For standard clogs, we deploy our motorized drain snake at our published flat rate. If the clog needs hydro jetting (grease, roots, recurring blockage) or the diagnostic reveals a main line issue, we provide a written quote for additional work and you decide whether to proceed. We never start unauthorized work or surprise you with charges.
Step 4 — Verify & Cleanup
We run water through the drain to confirm full flow, clean up the work area, hand you a written report of what we did, and offer maintenance tips. If we ran a camera, you keep the video. We don’t leave until you’re satisfied the drain is fully cleared.
Should I Try DIY First or Call Right Away?
Honest answer: it depends on the situation. A simple shower drain clog with visible hair you can pull out yourself? DIY first. A toilet backing up and water rising at the floor? Call right away. Here’s the decision matrix we recommend:
| Situation | Recommended Action |
|---|---|
| First-time clog in a single fixture (sink, shower, tub, toilet) | Try plunger or baking soda + vinegar first |
| Visible hair in shower drain | Pull it out manually or try a hair-snake tool from a hardware store |
| Toilet clogged with paper only — water rising slowly | Plunger usually clears it within 1-2 minutes |
| Clog won't clear after 2-3 DIY attempts | Call Maverick — deeper than DIY can reach |
| Multiple drains slow or backing up at the same time | Call Maverick — likely a main line issue |
| Sewage smell from any drain | Call Maverick — possible sewer issue, don't wait |
| Water comes up through one drain when another is used | Call Maverick — main line problem |
| Same drain clogs repeatedly within months | Call Maverick — deeper buildup needs hydro jetting |
| Older home with cast iron or galvanized pipes | Call Maverick — skip chemical cleaners that corrode old pipes |
| Standing sewage water visible anywhere | Call Maverick immediately — health and damage risk |
One thing we don’t recommend: liquid chemical drain cleaners (Drano, Liquid-Plumr, etc.). They corrode metal pipes, degrade PVC over time, and create splash-back hazards when a plumber later opens the line. A plunger is fine. Chemical cleaners are usually a worse option than just calling us.

Clogged Drain FAQs
How to clear a clogged drain?
Start with the simplest tools: a plunger creates suction that often clears shallow clogs in sinks, showers, and tubs. For kitchen sinks, fill the basin halfway and plunge with the overflow blocked. If plunging doesn’t work after 2-3 attempts, the clog is deeper than DIY can reach. We recommend skipping liquid drain cleaners — they corrode pipes over time and rarely solve the underlying issue. Maverick clears most clogs in 30-60 minutes.
What causes a clogged drain?
The cause depends on the drain. Shower and bathroom sinks clog mostly from hair and soap scum buildup. Kitchen sinks clog from grease, food debris, and coffee grounds. Toilets clog from too much paper, foreign objects, or main line issues. Floor drains clog from sediment and debris washed in. Recurring clogs in the same drain usually mean a deeper buildup or a pipe-condition issue that needs professional diagnosis.
When should I call a plumber for a clogged drain?
Call a plumber when water won’t go down after multiple plunger attempts, multiple drains are slow at the same time, you smell sewage from any drain, water backs up when you flush the toilet, the same drain keeps clogging, or you have older cast iron or galvanized pipes you don’t want damaged by harsh chemicals. Maverick offers same-day service across LA County — call (323) 742-4665.
How much does it cost to fix a clogged drain?
Maverick offers flat-rate pricing for drain cleaning across LA County. The flat rate covers professional snaking of one accessible drain — sink, shower, tub, toilet, or floor drain — for clogs caused by hair, food, or normal debris. If your clog needs hydro jetting or our camera inspection reveals a deeper issue, we quote that work separately before we proceed. No dispatch fee, no nights or weekends upcharge, no surprises.
Who is responsible for clogged drains in a rental?
In California rental properties, landlords are typically responsible for clogs caused by pipe condition, main line issues, or normal wear. Tenants are typically responsible for clogs caused by their actions — inappropriate items flushed, hair buildup in showers used only by them. If a clog is recurring or affects multiple units, it’s usually the landlord’s responsibility. Maverick provides written reports identifying the cause to help resolve disputes with property managers.
Can a clogged drain fix itself?
Sometimes — if the clog is soluble like soap scum, it may eventually dissolve with continued water flow. But most clogs (hair, grease, food, foreign objects) won’t go away on their own. Worse, ignoring a clog can cause water damage, pipe corrosion, or escalation into a main line issue. If you can clear it yourself in one attempt, fine. If not, faster is cheaper than waiting and watching it get worse.
Will baking soda and vinegar unclog drains?
Baking soda and vinegar can clear shallow, simple clogs — particularly soap or food buildup in a kitchen sink. The reaction creates fizz that can dislodge minor blockages. But it won’t touch hair clogs, deep grease buildup, root intrusion, or main line clogs. It’s a worthwhile first attempt that won’t damage your pipes. If it doesn’t work after 1-2 tries, call a professional rather than escalating to harsh chemical drain cleaners.
How long does it take to fix a clogged drain?
Most clogged drain calls take 30 to 60 minutes from when our technician arrives. Single fixture clogs (one sink, one shower, one toilet) typically clear in under an hour. Main line clogs requiring heavy machine snaking can take 60 to 90 minutes. If our snake hits a deeper blockage that doesn’t clear, we recommend hydro jetting and offer a camera inspection to confirm the cause before any additional work.
