Bathroom Drain Cleaning in Katy — Hair, Soap, Scale & Slow Drains Cleared
Slow bathroom drains are one of the most common plumbing issues in Katy homes — and one of the most overlooked. Hair, soap scum, and mineral deposits from the area’s hard water build up inside sink, shower, and tub drains until flow slows or stops entirely. Ory’s Plumbing Services is the family-owned team serving Katy homeowners since 1995. We clear bathroom drains safely without damaging your fixtures, and we explain what we find before touching anything.
Serving Katy, Cinco Ranch, Cane Island, Seven Meadows, Cross Creek Ranch, Kelliwood, and surrounding West Houston communities. Same or next-day service available. Upfront pricing, always.

Hair clumps in the P-trap and soap scum lines the inside of shower drain pipes. We remove the blockage completely — including what’s deeper in the line — and check for slow flow caused by partial clogs that a basic hair catcher won’t prevent.
Bathroom Sink Drain Cleaning
Bathroom sinks collect toothpaste, hair, and soap residue just below the stopper where it’s hard to reach. We clean the full drain line, not just the visible section, and check the P-trap for buildup that causes that rotten-egg odor many Katy homeowners notice.
Hard Water Scale in Katy Drains
Katy’s water supply is notably hard, with high calcium and magnesium content. Over time this leaves scale deposits inside drain pipes that narrow the opening and create rough surfaces that catch soap and hair faster. We see this regularly in homes throughout Harris County.
Drain Snaking vs. Hydro-Jetting
For most bathroom drain clogs, cable snaking removes the blockage efficiently. When scale buildup or soap accumulation is heavy, hydro-jetting fully scours the pipe interior. We assess what’s needed during inspection so we’re not recommending more than your drain actually requires.
Multiple Slow Bathroom Drains
If every bathroom drain in the house is slow at once, the issue may be further downstream in a shared branch line or the main sewer. We trace the problem to its actual source and give you a clear picture before any work begins.
Fixture-Safe Cleaning Methods
We use tools and techniques appropriate for your fixture type — no harsh chemicals that can damage chrome or corrode older pipe connections. We also cover your floors and fixtures during service and leave the bathroom clean when we’re done.

Bathroom Drain FAQs — Katy, TX
Why does my bathroom drain smell even after I clean it?
A sewer smell from a bathroom drain is often a dry P-trap, soap and hair buildup deep in the line, or a partial clog that’s trapping organic material. Running water into a rarely-used fixture can resolve a dry trap; persistent odor usually means the line needs cleaning.
Can I use a drain snake myself to clear a bathroom clog?
Consumer drain snakes from hardware stores can reach blockages close to the drain opening. If the clog is deeper or keeps coming back, a professional cable snake goes further and a camera inspection shows what’s actually inside the line.
Is hard water causing my slow bathroom drains in Katy?
It contributes. Hard water leaves calcium and magnesium deposits inside pipes that narrow the opening over time and create a rough surface that catches soap and hair faster. Homes in Katy and West Houston with older plumbing see this more frequently.
How long does a bathroom drain cleaning take?
Most bathroom drain cleanings are completed in under an hour. If we find a deeper blockage or need to run a camera, the visit may take longer — we’ll let you know what we find and how long it will take before we proceed.
Can you clean bathroom drains without removing the fixtures?
In most cases, yes. We access the drain through the existing opening using a cable snake or camera equipment. Fixture removal is only necessary in unusual cases, and we’d explain that to you before doing anything.
Slow bathroom drains don’t fix themselves — and ignoring them long enough usually turns a simple cleaning into a bigger repair. Ory’s Plumbing is ready to help. We’ll inspect the line, give you a clear estimate, and clear it the right way.
