North Texas Soil & Your Drains
There are many advantages to living in the great state of Texas, but it’s important to be aware of the impact the land we’ve chosen as our home can have on plumbing infrastructure.
The rich clay soils that create the landscape we know and love are also prone to swelling and shrinking. This cycle of expansion and contraction can exert pressure on underground structures, including your drainage system, leading to potential breakage.
If you experience continuous back-ups, it’s a good indication that something is broken. Contact Lex’s Plumbing for a full inspection and get your drains back in business.

Could It Be Your Drain?
Some signs of drain problems are obvious, while others may leave you scratching your head. Here are a few indications it may be time to have your drain cleaned or replaced:
Slow Draining
If you notice water draining slowly from sinks, showers, or tubs, it could indicate a partial blockage in the drain. Persistent slow drainage is a clear sign that your drain needs attention.
Bad Odors
Unpleasant smells emanating from drains often indicate the presence of organic matter trapped in the pipes. These odors can signal a buildup of debris or even a more serious issue, such as a sewer line blockage.
Gurgling Water
Strange gurgling or bubbling noises coming from drains when water is running may suggest air is trapped in the pipes due to blockages or improper ventilation. If left unaddressed, this could lead to further plumbing problems.
Water Backups
Water backing up into sinks, showers, or tubs is a serious indication of a clog or blockage in the drain line. This issue requires immediate attention to prevent water damage and potential health hazards.
Visible Damage
Any visible signs of damage to pipes, such as cracks, corrosion, or leaks, warrant a thorough drain system inspection. Ignoring these issues can lead to more extensive damage over time.
Recurring Clogs
If you frequently experience clogs in your drains despite attempts to clear them, it may indicate an underlying issue within the plumbing system that needs professional assessment.
Pests
Insects or rodents near drains can be a sign of leaks or openings in the pipes that provide access to water. A drain inspection can help identify and address these vulnerabilities.
If you’re experiencing any of these signs or have concerns about the condition of your drainage system, contact Lex’s Plumbing. Early detection and prompt action can prevent costly repairs and ensure the continued functionality of your plumbing system.

Have an Emergency?
Emergency clogs can bring your household to a halt. Some common situations include:
- Kitchen sink backups due to grease buildup.
- Bathroom sink or shower clogs caused by hair and soap scum.
- Toilet overflows from flushed items that shouldn’t be there.
When an emergency strikes, Lex’s Plumbing provides fast and reliable clogged drain service in Frisco to get your home back in working order.
Examples of Emergency Clogs
Kitch Sink Clogs
Cooking grease, food scraps, and soap residue can combine to create a stubborn clog in your kitchen sink, leaving you with standing water and a disrupted household routine.
Toilet Overflows
Few things are more unpleasant than a toilet that won’t flush properly. Whether it’s due to excessive toilet paper or an unexpected foreign object, immediate intervention is essential.
Sewer Line Blockages
A severe blockage in the main sewer line can cause water and waste to back up into your home. Signs include multiple clogged drains and a strong sewer smell.
Basement Floor Drain Overflows
During heavy rain or due to clogged lines, basement floor drains can overflow, posing a serious risk of water damage.
What Causes Drain Issues?
Drain problems can sneak up on any homeowner, often at the most inconvenient times. But what’s behind these plumbing headaches? We’ve seen it all at Lex’s Plumbing, and we’re here to help with expert Frisco drain cleaning services. Understanding the causes of drain issues can save you from future frustration.
Clogs from Debris
Everyday items like grease, soap scum, hair, food particles, and non-flushable items are the primary culprits of clogs. Over time, these materials accumulate in your pipes, narrowing the flow and eventually blocking the drain entirely.
Tree Root Intrusion
Tree roots are naturally attracted to moisture, making your underground pipes a prime target. Once they find a tiny crack, roots can grow inside, causing blockages or even breaking the pipe.
Aging or Damaged Pipes
Older homes often have pipes made from materials like cast iron or clay, which can corrode, crack, or collapse over time. This can lead to recurring clogs and the need for a more extensive solution, like a replacement.
Soil Shifting in North Texas
As we highlighted earlier, North Texas’ clay soil can expand and contract, putting stress on your plumbing system. This natural process can cause pipes to shift, break, or disconnect.
Poor Installation or Maintenance
Subpar plumbing work or a lack of regular maintenance can exacerbate small issues, turning them into major problems.
If you’re experiencing any of these signs or have concerns about the condition of your drainage system, contact Lex’s Plumbing. Early detection and prompt action can prevent costly repairs and ensure the continued functionality of your plumbing system.
When Are Drain Replacements Necessary?
Sometimes, cleaning or repairing a drain isn’t enough. Here are situations where a full replacement might be the best option:
- Frequent Clogs: If your drains are constantly clogging despite cleaning efforts, it could indicate an underlying issue like pipe damage or poor installation.
- Severe Pipe Damage: Cracks, corrosion, or collapsed pipes often require replacement, as repairs may only provide a temporary fix.
- Outdated Materials: Older homes with clay or cast iron pipes may benefit from a replacement to avoid recurring problems.
