Clogged Drain
Cleared Fast
A slow drain is a warning shot. A backed-up one is a deadline. S.W.A.T. Plumbing clears the blockage, then runs a camera so you know if it'll come back next month or stay gone for years.

When You Need This
The longer you wait,
the worse it gets.
Most drain calls aren't about the drain — they're about what's living in it. Grease cooled in a kitchen line. Wipes caught on a sewer offset. Tree roots in a clay sewer joint. S.W.A.T. Plumbing clears the immediate blockage, then runs a camera to confirm the cause so you're not paying for the same call again in 30 days.
Warning Signs
- Standing water in the sink, tub, or shower
- Gurgling sounds when other fixtures drain
- Slow draining across multiple fixtures
- Sewage smell from a floor drain or P-trap
- Water backing up into the tub when the toilet flushes
- Toilet bubbling when the washer drains
- Recurring clogs that return within weeks of being cleared
- Foundation-level floor drain overflowing
Mission Operations
How we execute
from call to close.
- 01.
Diagnose
Find the Blockage.
We confirm where the clog is — single fixture, branch line, or main sewer — before pulling out equipment. A bathtub backing up when the toilet flushes tells us something a slow sink doesn't. Right diagnosis means right tool the first time.
- 02.
Clear
Cable or Jet. Tool Fits the Job.
Cable machines handle hair, soft blockages, and small-diameter lines. Hydro-jetting strips grease, scale, and root mass from the pipe walls — restoring full diameter instead of just punching a hole through the clog. The estimate names the method before we start.
- 03.
Confirm
Camera the Line.
After the blockage clears, we run a sewer camera through the line to confirm full flow and identify the root cause: roots, bellies, offsets, broken sections, or product buildup. You see the footage on the monitor.
- 04.
Recommend
One-Time Fix or Recurring Maintenance.
If the line is healthy, the clear is the whole job. If we found a structural issue — root intrusion, a belly, a cracked section — we present the long-term options (lining, spot repair, trenchless replacement) with prices. No pressure to upgrade. Information is the deliverable.

S.W.A.T. Plumbing has dispatched to thousands of clogged draincalls across North Texas. Here's what it actually sounds like.
“My A/C was leaking because of a backup in the main drain pipe. The tech Tyler was beyond communicative, patient, and tenacious to fix this. He stayed until almost 6p troubleshooting and sticking with the plan of action that freed the issue. Great guy and great service. As a bonus, I requested the soonest available service and when there was a cancellation that pulled my appointment forward by one day. One earlier day with A/C in Mya in Texas. Win! I was provided them through my home warranty service. I will definitely request them again. Tyler was the man!”
Marcus Combsa month ago“Daniel was great. He was Friendly, helpful, and informative. He took time to explain everything and walk me through my options. The SWAT team was great at keeping me informed on service time and expectations. Will 100% recommend.”
Achelle Evansa month ago“Over the weekend, I needed to call a plumber when the expansion tank on my water heater began leaking. I was unsure what might happen if the situation worsened, so I contacted my home warranty service to request assistance. I had previously informed them that if I ever needed plumbing services again, I preferred to work exclusively with S.W.A.T. Plumbing. On Monday morning, I received a call from Christi at S.W.A.T. Plumbing. She explained that although the plumber was finishing another job, she could have someone out later that afternoon. She told me that Scott H. would be handling the call and would contact me when he was on his way. About five minutes after our call ended, Christi called back to let me know that I would be Scott's next service stop. I really appreciated that level of communication. Less than forty five minutes later, Scott arrived at my home. Scott was professional from the moment he arrived. After a brief greeting, he immediately went to work. He confirmed my suspicion that the expansion tank was the problem, returned to his truck for tools and a replacement tank, and had the new tank installed within about twenty minutes. The repair was completed quickly, smoothly, and—most importantly—professionally. This was not my first experience with S.W.A.T. Plumbing, and it certainly will not be my last should the need arise again. This team truly knows how to take care of their customers. Thank you for inviting me to participate in this survey. I appreciate the opportunity to share my feedback. If you have any follow up questions or need additional information, please feel free to contact me.”
