Which Drain Is Clogged?
Each drain clogs for its own reasons and gets cleared its own way. Find yours to see what usually causes it and what clearing it costs.
- Kitchen sink. Cooking grease and oil that cool and harden on the pipe wall, plus food scraps, coffee grounds and soap scum that stick to it. A garbage disposal sends more solids down, not fewer.
- Bathroom sink. Hair mixed with soap, toothpaste and shaving residue, caught on the pop-up stopper or in the trap. Small items dropped down the drain add to it.
- Tub or shower. Hair is the main cause, bound together with soap scum and conditioner. Older tubs with a trip lever drain collect it in the overflow and the drum trap.
- Toilet. Too much paper at once, wipes labeled flushable, paper towels, cotton swabs, dental floss and toys. Low-flow toilets from before about 2005 clog more often.
- Floor or laundry drain. Lint from the washing machine, sand and grit, soap, and in basements the silt that washes in. A dry trap lets sewer gas up as well.
- Main sewer line. Tree roots coming in at joints in clay and cast iron pipe, grease built up from years of kitchen use, wipes, and pipe that has sagged or cracked.
- Outdoor or yard drain. Leaves, dirt, sand and roots in yard drains, area drains, driveway trench drains and the pipes that carry downspout water away.

What Kansas Pipes, Trees and Weather Do to Drains
Hard water and moving soil are the main drain problems in Kansas. Clay soil in the east swells when wet and shrinks during long dry spells, and that cycle can shift a sewer line or open a joint. By the time a dry spell ends in a heavy thunderstorm, roots from elms, cottonwoods and hackberries are often already in those gaps. Minerals in the water leave scale in old cast iron, and many rural homes use septic systems that need pumping on a schedule.

- Clay soil that swells and shrinks
- Thunderstorms after long dry spells
- Roots from elms, cottonwoods and hackberries
- Septic systems in rural areas

Sedgwick County Clogged Drain FAQ
How much does drain cleaning cost in Sedgwick County?
It changes from one city in Sedgwick County to the next with local prices, the drain involved and how hard the clog is to reach. Open a city page from the list on this page for a rough range and a calculator set to that city. The plumber who takes your call sets the actual price, so ask for it before work starts.
Who do I call for a clogged drain in Sedgwick County?
Call 888-681-1687. The call goes to an independent local plumber or drain cleaning company that works in your part of Sedgwick County, KS. Say which drain is stopped, whether other drains are slow too and what you have already tried.
Does it matter if my home in Sedgwick County is on a septic tank?
Yes. When every drain in a house on septic is slow, the tank may be full or the line to it may be blocked, and a drain snake does not fix a full tank. Say so when you call. Some drain cleaning companies pump tanks as well, and others clear the line and point you to a septic service for the tank.
What usually causes main sewer line clogs in Sedgwick County?
Tree roots in older clay or cast iron pipe, grease that has built up over years, and wipes or paper towels that do not break down. Shifting soil and pipe that has sagged or cracked can also catch debris. The section on this page about Kansas covers what local soil, trees and weather do to drains, and a camera inspection is the surest way to see what is inside the line.
How soon can a plumber get to a home in Sedgwick County?
It depends on which plumber covers your town and how busy they are, so this site cannot promise a time. Ask when you call 888-681-1687. Homes in rural parts of Sedgwick County can be a longer drive from the nearest drain cleaning company, so ask whether a trip charge applies too.
