MTZ Plumbing Services: Local Plumbing Company Serving Austin, TX 78749

A slow drain is often the first sign of a grease clog, a very common issue in Austin homes. Our plumbing inspection uses specialized cameras to locate the exact point and severity of the buildup inside your pipes. This allows us to recommend the most effective solution, whether it's a high-pressure jetting to clear the grease or a more targeted approach, preventing a full blockage and potential backup.

Austin's municipal water supply can sometimes deliver higher-than-ideal pressure, which over time stresses pipes, joints, water heaters, and appliances, leading to leaks and premature failures. During our standard plumbing inspection, we test your home's water pressure with a gauge. If it's too high, we can explain the risks and discuss installing a pressure regulator to protect your entire plumbing system.

The best defense is to avoid pouring fats, oils, and grease (FOG) down the drain. Let grease solidify in the can and dispose of it in the trash. For residual grease, use hot water and dish soap to help break it down, and run cold water for a minute afterward to help it solidify in the main sewer line where it's less likely to stick. Scheduling regular inspections with us can catch minor buildup before it becomes a major clog.
