Do-It-Yourself Drain Repair

While we’re prepared to provide any plumbing services that you may need, we do want to equip our customers with a few tips and repair methods that they can try themselves that could go a long way in saving them time and money in repair services. When you’re dealing with the first signs of drain issues, it’s always worth trying these few simple things:

  • Plunging – You can attempt to solve almost all drain issues with a good plunger. It might not solve the problem, but it’s usually a good idea to try. Plungers work by creating a simple system of pressure inside of your pipes that hopefully builds until it releases any clog. Mostly used on toilets, they can be used on almost any drain.
  • The “P” trap – The “P” trap is a U-shaped fitting that is part of the plumbing underneath most sinks. The fitting is designed to catch large objects dropped down the drain and provides an easy point of clog removal with a few simple tools.
  • Baking Soda & Vinegar – The combination of these two common household items are not only the ingredients for your average science fair volcano, but they also make for a powerful home remedy for drain clogs. The chemical reaction these two household items create causes agitative bubbles that can help unstick clogs from your pipeline.

By no means are these the only do-it-yourself drain repair methods. These are some of the clearest and most effective solutions for resolving most simple drain clogs and issues. When you can’t get the issue solved yourself, or just don’t want to do the work, Southern Air is proud to provide some of the best Baton Rouge drain unclogging services around.

Professional-Grade Drain Repair And Unclogging

Sometimes a drain problem can’t be fixed with a simple plunger or clearing of the P trap, and the issue will require the hands of a trained professional to get resolved. When this happens, Southern Air guarantees we will provide you with the best drain cleaning in Baton Rouge. We offer a comprehensive range of the latest drain repair options and will fully walk you through the process of finding the best solution for your drain issue.

Whether it’s our professional snaking options, a camera inspection or anything in between, we’re ready and qualified to do any work needed to have your drains back working at 100% efficiency.

Camera Inspection

Not every drain problem is visible to the naked eye. That’s why Southern Air uses professional-grade camera inspection technology to get a clear, real-time look inside your pipes. Our technicians insert a small, high-resolution camera directly into your drain line, allowing us to pinpoint the exact location and cause of the issue, whether it’s a stubborn blockage, buildup, cracked pipe, or root intrusion.

Camera inspections take the guesswork out of drain repair. Instead of unnecessary digging or trial-and-error fixes, we diagnose the problem accurately the first time and recommend only the services you actually need. It’s a smarter, faster, and more cost-effective approach to drain care.

Hydro Jetting Services

When standard snaking just isn’t enough, Southern Air’s hydro jetting service delivers a powerful solution. Using highly pressurized streams of water, our technicians blast away years of grease buildup, mineral deposits, tree roots, and other stubborn debris from the interior walls of your pipes, leaving them clean and clear from the inside out.

Hydro jetting is safe for most pipe types and is especially effective for commercial drain systems that see heavy daily use. Unlike chemical drain cleaners that only partially clear a clog, hydro jetting thoroughly cleans the entire pipe, helping prevent future blockages and extending the life of your plumbing system. If your drains keep backing up no matter what you try, hydro jetting may be exactly what your pipes need.

Drain Clearing Services in Baton Rouge, LA FAQs​

Start with simple DIY methods like plunging, checking the P-trap under your sink, or using a baking soda and vinegar solution. These work well for minor clogs caused by hair, soap buildup, or small debris. However, if you experience recurring clogs, slow drains throughout multiple fixtures, gurgling sounds, foul odors coming from drains, or water backing up in other areas when you use a sink or toilet, these are signs of a deeper blockage that requires professional attention. Our trained technicians have specialized equipment like professional-grade snakes and camera inspection tools to diagnose and resolve complex drain issues that DIY methods cannot reach.
The most common causes of drain clogs include hair accumulation in bathroom drains, grease and food particles in kitchen sinks, soap scum buildup, foreign objects accidentally flushed or washed down drains, and toilet paper buildup. In the Baton Rouge area, tree root intrusion into older sewer lines can also be a significant problem due to our climate and soil conditions. Mineral deposits from hard water can gradually narrow pipes over time. Regular maintenance and being mindful of what goes down your drains can help prevent many of these issues from developing into serious blockages.
Our comprehensive drain cleaning service begins with a thorough assessment of your drain issue to identify the location and cause of the blockage. We use professional-grade equipment including motorized drain snakes that can reach deep clogs, and camera inspection technology to visually examine the inside of your pipes and identify problems like tree roots, pipe damage, or severe buildup. Depending on what we find, we may use hydro-jetting for stubborn clogs or buildup. We also provide recommendations for preventing future issues and ensure your drains are flowing at full efficiency before we complete the job. We walk you through every step of the process so you understand exactly what we are doing and why.
The time required for drain cleaning varies depending on the severity and location of the clog. Simple clogs in accessible areas like sink drains or toilets can often be cleared in 30 minutes to an hour. More complex issues involving main sewer lines, multiple clogged fixtures, or the need for camera inspection may take two to three hours or longer. When you call Southern Air, we will provide an estimated timeframe after our initial assessment. Our technicians work efficiently while ensuring the job is done thoroughly, and we will keep you informed throughout the process so you know what to expect.
Preventing drain clogs starts with being mindful of what goes down your drains. Never pour grease or oil down kitchen sinks, use drain strainers to catch hair and debris, avoid flushing anything other than toilet paper and waste, and run hot water through drains after each use to help clear residue. Consider scheduling periodic professional drain cleaning as preventive maintenance, especially if you have older plumbing. Avoid using chemical drain cleaners regularly as they can damage pipes over time. For garbage disposals, run cold water while operating and avoid putting fibrous foods like celery or potato peels down them. These simple habits can significantly reduce the likelihood of clogs and extend the life of your plumbing system.
