Moore, Oklahoma
Most calls for drain cleaning in Moore come from two kinds of houses. One is a ranch home from the 1960s or 1970s with cast-iron drains under the slab that have been narrowing for fifty years. The other is a newer home with clean PVC that clogs from what goes down it. We clear both, and we tell you which one you have.

(405) 309-1873Moore grew almost overnight. The town had 1,783 residents in 1960 and 18,761 by 1970, according to the Oklahoma Historical Society, and Census estimates show that roughly one in five of Moore's homes today was built in the 1970s alone. Many houses from that era sit on slabs with cast-iron drain lines running underneath. Cast iron lasts a long time, but its inside wall slowly rusts and builds rough scale. After fifty years, a 2-inch kitchen line can have a much smaller opening, and every bit of grease that passes sticks to that rough surface.
The soil adds its own trouble. Central Oklahoma clay swells when it is wet and shrinks when it dries, and expansive soil like that is on the Oklahoma Geological Survey's list of geologic hazards for the state. Under a slab, that movement can settle a section of drain line into a shallow sag, called a belly, where water and solids sit instead of flowing. A drain with a belly clogs at the same spot again and again.
Homes rebuilt after the 1999 and 2013 tornadoes are a different story. They usually have PVC drains, which are smooth and do not scale. When those clog, it is almost always grease, wipes, hair or a garbage disposal doing more than it should.
A single slow sink is usually a branch clog. Several at once point to the main line between the house and the street, which needs a bigger machine and a different approach.

Before and after
If the camera shows heavy scale or a belly under the slab, cleaning buys time but does not fix the pipe. Options range from descaling to replacing a short section. If your drains only back up in storms like the one over Easter weekend in 2025, when News 9 reported close to five inches falling at the nearest gauge in an hour and a half, have the lateral checked for cracks or roots that leave no room for extra flow.

40+ yrs
With more than 40 years in plumbing, we have had long enough to know a grease clog from a scaled pipe by how a cable feels going in. When a Moore drain keeps coming back, we run a camera and show you the cause: buildup, a belly in the line, roots or a broken joint. Then you can decide on a real fix instead of paying for the same cleaning every few months.
24/7
A kitchen sink that backs up on Thanksgiving morning or a laundry drain that overflows on a Sunday is not a wait-until-Monday problem. We answer 24/7, including nights, weekends and holidays, and same-day drain service is often available across Moore. If the main line is backing up, we walk you through what to stop using right now so you do not make it worse while we are on the way.
4.9★
We protect floors, clean up the mess a backed-up drain leaves behind, and do not try to sell a sewer replacement when a good cleaning will do. That approach is a big part of why customers rate us 4.9 stars across 88 Google reviews. We are licensed and insured, and financing is available if the camera turns up a bigger repair.

After having issues with my bathroom and kitchen plumbing for a few days, I contacted Plumber Oklahoma City, OK Plumbing & Repair this morning. He told me he was very busy, but would work to schedule our repair in with his team.
These guys were great! A breath of fresh air from the usual contractor/service. They cared about fixing the problem not how much they can charge. I had a same day service need, leak in between floors, the day before a trip. They came out same day and presented multiple solutions as well as keen explanations.
Mr. Robert has amazing customer service and work ethic. He fixed our toilet very quickly and explained everything that he was doing, and even showed us the finished product. Awesome work!
Straight answers
In many houses built during Moore's 1960s and 1970s boom, the kitchen line runs under the slab in cast iron. Over decades the inside of that pipe builds rough scale that catches grease and food, so the opening keeps shrinking. Cleaning restores flow, but if it clogs again within months, a camera inspection will show whether descaling or a section replacement is the better answer.
Yes, but for different reasons. Homes built after 2000 usually have PVC drains with smooth walls, so clogs tend to come from what goes down them: grease, wipes, hair and food waste. Those clear easily and rarely mean anything is wrong with the pipe. The exception is the yard lateral, which may be older than the house on a rebuilt lot.
It can. When a storm overloads the sewer system or water gets into a cracked lateral, the lowest drain in the house, often a shower or floor drain, is where it shows up. If backups only happen during big storms, we camera the line to check for cracks, roots or a partial blockage that leaves no room for extra flow.
