Bathroom Drain Solutions
From Slow Drains to Standing Water, We Fix It All.
Bathroom drains are some of the hardest working drains in your home. Hair, soap scum, shaving cream, makeup, and hard water scale slowly coat the inside of your pipes until they can barely pass water. Our team uses the right tools for the job — from specialized cabling to high-pressure jetting and descaling — to restore smooth, fast flow.
Bathroom Sink Drains
Toothpaste, beard trimmings, hair, and skincare products all build up in small sink lines. We clean and flush the line so brushing, shaving, and washing don’t turn into a mini flood.
Whole Bathroom Backups
If the toilet, tub, and sink are all affected, the issue is usually deeper in the main line. We diagnose the true problem and give honest options, not band-aid fixes.
Signs Your Bathroom Drain Needs Professional Cleaning.
A little slow is usually the first warning sign. The longer you wait, the more likely water is to back up into your bathroom — or another part of your home.
Water Pooling Around Your Feet
Standing water in the shower or tub — especially if it takes minutes to go down — almost always means hair and soap scum have narrowed the drain line.
Gurgling or “Glugging” Sounds
Gurgling from the tub or sink after flushing the toilet can mean air is trapped behind a clog or there’s a vent or mainline issue that needs attention.
Odors You Can’t Get Rid Of
Sewer or musty smells coming from drains often point to trapped buildup, bacteria, or a partial blockage that’s keeping waste from moving freely.
Using Drain Cleaners Often
If you’re reaching for liquid drain cleaners more than once, you likely have buildup or a deeper obstruction those products simply can’t fix — and they can damage pipes.
Water Backing Up in Other Drains
If running the sink makes the tub fill, or flushing the toilet makes water rise elsewhere, your bathroom drain problems may be tied to a failing main line.
Old Cast Iron or Galvanized Pipes
Older homes with cast iron or galvanized piping often have scale and rust that catch hair and debris. Descaling can smooth the pipe and reduce repeat clogs.
How Our Bathroom Drain Cleaning Process Works.
Every bathroom drain call follows a proven process designed to fix the immediate problem and uncover anything that could cause a repeat backup.
- Arrival & protection. We arrive in a clearly marked truck, lay down floor protection, and wear shoe covers so your bathroom stays clean.
- Problem walkthrough. You show us what’s happening — slow tub, sink, odors, or water in other fixtures — so we see the full picture.
- Fixture & line evaluation. We check the affected drains, nearby fixtures, and sometimes roof vents or cleanouts to pinpoint where the clog is forming.
- Mechanical cleaning. We use the right-size cable machine or specialty tools for bathroom drains to cut through hair, soap, and buildup — not just poke a hole.
- Flow testing. We run water through the system to confirm the drain is flowing like it should and that other fixtures aren’t affected.
- Camera or long-term options. If we suspect deeper issues, we’ll offer a camera inspection, descaling, or repair quotes with clear, upfront pricing.
Why Homeowners Trust Omaha Drain with Bathroom Drains.
You’re letting someone into your home and bathroom — you deserve a team that’s professional, respectful, and obsessed with doing the job right.
TruTech-Trained Technicians
Our TruTech training program means every technician is trained on proper bathroom drain cleaning — not “just run a cable and hope.” We diagnose, fix, and explain.
Same-Day & Emergency Options
Active backups and overflows can’t wait. We keep same-day and emergency slots for serious bathroom drain issues so you can get back to normal quickly.
Upfront, No-Surprise Pricing
You’ll see clear options and pricing before we start. If we find deeper mainline or pipe damage, we’ll explain what we see and give written options — not pressure.
Camera & Descaling Options
For older homes or repeat bathroom clogs, we can run a camera and even descale cast iron to smooth out rough pipe walls and reduce future issues.
Respect for Your Home
Floor protection, clean drop cloths, and wipe-down before we leave. Your bathroom should look better when we’re done — not like a construction site.

We’re not a franchise. Omaha Drain is local, award-winning, and built on repeat customers who trust us with every drain and plumbing problem.
Bathroom Drain Problems We See Every Week.
If it can clog a bathroom drain, we’ve probably seen it. Here are some of the most common problems we fix for homeowners around the Omaha metro.
Hair & Soap “Rope” in Drains
Hair wraps around itself and mixes with soap and conditioner to create a tough “rope” that simple plunging can’t break apart. We cut and pull it out of the line.
Toothpaste & Product Buildup
Toothpaste, mouthwash, makeup, and lotions cool and harden inside small drain lines, especially in older homes. We clean the line so it’s not narrowed down to a trickle.
Kids’ Toys & Foreign Objects
Jewelry, toys, caps, and other objects can lodge at traps and fittings. We carefully retrieve or push them through safely when possible and advise if anything needs repair.
Vent & Mainline Issues
Sometimes, bathroom symptoms are caused by blocked roof vents or failing main lines. Our techs are trained to spot when the problem isn’t just in the fixture drain.
Cast Iron Scale & Rust
In older homes, scale and rust inside cast iron or galvanized drains catch hair and debris. Descaling can smooth those surfaces and dramatically improve flow.
Root Intrusion Downstream
If your main sewer has roots, bathroom drains may be the first place you notice it. We can inspect with a camera and quote long-term repair or replacement options.

Bathroom Drain Cleaning FAQs.
Have questions before you book? Here are answers to some of the most common things homeowners ask us about bathroom drains.
How do I know if the problem is just my bathroom drain or the main sewer?
If only one fixture (like a single sink) is slow, the clog is often in that individual drain line. If multiple fixtures in the bathroom are affected — or water backs up in the tub when you flush the toilet — the issue may be in the main line. Our techs will diagnose this on-site and explain what they find.
Are chemical drain cleaners safe for my bathroom drains?
We don’t recommend frequent use of chemical drain cleaners. Many can damage older pipes, soften seals, and create hazardous splashing if we need to open the line later. Mechanical cleaning (using cables or jetting) is safer and more effective in the long run.
What can I do to prevent future bathroom drain clogs?
Use hair catchers in shower and tub drains, avoid rinsing excessive hair or thick products down the sink, and run hot water for a minute after using the sink. For older homes, a periodic professional cleaning or descaling can keep drains open and flowing.
Do you offer same-day bathroom drain service?
Yes. We reserve same-day and emergency slots for active backups and serious bathroom drain issues. Call us or book online — we’ll do everything we can to get you on the schedule today.
Will you need to remove my tub or sink to fix a clog?
In most cases, no. We typically access the drain through existing cleanouts, traps, or the fixture drain itself. If we discover a broken or improperly installed drain assembly, we’ll review options before doing any additional work.
