Clarke Kent Plumbing

Can't believe they came out at 9am on a Saturday and fixed my water line so I have water again. Thank you, Rob was fantastic!

Clogged drains can occur in any area of your home. Grease, food particles and soap that harden can stick to the side of pipes in your kitchen. Over time this build up can result in slow draining or clogged pipes. Bathroom showers and sinks get clogged by hair, soap, cosmetics and hair products. When you have a clogged drain, using a chemical drain clearner may seem like the logical solution. However, this method of drain cleaning can be damaging to your pipes; it causes pipes to corrode and ultimately causes more harm than good.

We repair, replace and maintain all types of water heaters. Regular maintenance is required for both tank-type and tankless water heaters in order to keep it running efficiently. For maximum longetivty, flushing and cleaning is needed for both tank-type and tankless water heaters. Clarke Kent Plumbing can also descale the water lines and clean the combustion chamber for optimal performance. These low-cost maintenance services will save you money by extending the life expectancy of your heater. Tank-type water heaters are cylindrical vessels or containers that keeps water continuously hot and ready to use.

There are two common slab leaks - leaks from incoming water lines and leaks from drain lines. Because incoming water lines are under pressure, they are more easily detected. Sewer leaks can hide for years without being detected by homeowners. They can cause soil around the line to swell, but often show no signs of a leak. Clarke Kent Plumbing can perform a static test to determine the condition of your drain lines. We highly recommend this test when buying a new home, regardless of the age of the home.

Are you having reocurring problems with sewer line stoppages? Depending on the age of your sewer line and the quality of materials used, pipes can become brittle, develop holes or even collapse. Due to improper installation, sometimes fittings pull apart. There are times when proper fall has not been achieved, making it impossible for gravity to do it's job. It may be time to replace a section or the entire line if repeated attempts have been made to cut tree roots from your sewer line. Some of the older homes in our area still have clay sewer pipes which over time can collapse or sag.

Our hydro-jetting service offers a highly effective, economical and chemical free approach to break through tough blockages. The high pressure, reverse-action stream removes grease, sludge, scale, dirt and other sediments in order to get your business back to normal operation.

The City of Austin and other surrounding municipalities require that every backflow device be tested once each year. The law requires the installation of an approved backflow device at all commercial or residential water connections where a potential hazard to the water supply has been identified. The backflow device has to be able to handle the degree of hazard given the particular connection. In addition, it's important to understand what backflow is and why its prevention and testing is important to you and your city.

Over time grease, debris and food particles can accumulate in your drain lines. This causes your sinks to drain slowly or causes a complete line blockage. Years of heavy build up inside commercial pipelines can sometimes require more than just a rooting service. We provide alternative methods that are more effective than just running a cable or snake in the line. Often running a cable will only allow flow temporarily, but the problem can reoccur. Hydro-jetting is the only option to actually clean the inside of the lines.
