Why Local Residents Choose Our Team

When a drain backs up, most people cannot afford to wait or gamble on a company they do not know. At Robert Brown Plumbing, we are based in Bossier City and work in Shreveport every day, so our plumbers are familiar with local homes, businesses, and building layouts. Our nearly two decades in the plumbing industry give us the background to handle a wide range of drain problems efficiently.

Our licensed technicians arrive with professional equipment and the goal of solving the problem correctly, not just pushing it off for later. For tough or recurring blockages, we are equipped to perform jetting of sewer lines when that is an appropriate option. This can help clear heavy buildup inside pipes and address clogs that ordinary methods may not fully remove.

Residents have recognized our commitment to quality, and Robert Brown Plumbing has received the Local LOVE US award for Best Plumber for nine straight years. That kind of long-term recognition reflects how we treat customers and the standards we hold for workmanship on every job.

Cost is always on people’s minds, especially when an unexpected clog appears. We provide free estimates, competitive pricing, and straightforward invoices, so you know what you are paying for. There are no hidden fees added after the fact. We also offer discounts for veterans, first responders, educators, and senior citizens, which is one way we show appreciation for people who serve our community.

Common Drain Problems We Handle

Most drain issues start small and gradually get worse over time. Grease, soap residue, hair, food particles, and mineral buildup can slowly restrict flow until water begins to drain poorly or stops completely. In some Shreveport neighborhoods, older piping and tree root intrusion can also contribute to recurring clogs.

We commonly service:

  • Kitchen sinks with slow or blocked drainage
  • Bathroom sinks, tubs, and shower drains
  • Toilets that are slow to flush or backing up
  • Floor drains and laundry drains
  • Main sewer line blockages affecting multiple fixtures

When more than one fixture is affected at the same time, it often indicates a deeper blockage in the main line that requires prompt attention.

For light commercial properties such as restaurants, offices, and retail spaces, drain problems can quickly disrupt operations and create sanitation concerns. We understand the urgency and respond quickly when businesses experience backups or blockages.

Recurring clogs are often a sign of a larger underlying issue such as buildup in the line, foreign obstructions, or tree root intrusion. In these cases, temporary fixes may not be enough. Our focus is on identifying the cause and recommending a long-term solution that helps prevent repeat problems.

Our Drain Clearing Process

Knowing what to expect helps reduce stress when dealing with a drain issue. At Robert Brown Plumbing, we follow a clear, step-by-step process focused on fast response, honest communication, and effective results.

1. Initial call and prioritization
When you contact us, we gather key details and prioritize urgent backups. Overflowing toilets or wastewater backing up into the home are treated as high priority, with the fastest available scheduling.

2. Pre-visit questions and guidance
We ask which fixtures are affected, how long the issue has been occurring, and whether any remedies were tried. This helps us prepare the right equipment and may include simple guidance such as avoiding chemical drain cleaners or limiting fixture use.

3. On-site evaluation
Upon arrival, our plumber inspects the affected drains, identifies likely blockage points, and determines the best access method. Before starting work, we explain the issue, recommended solution, and provide upfront pricing for approval.

4. Clearing the blockage
Once approved, we clear the drain using the appropriate method for the situation, which may include:

  • Drain cabling for common clogs
  • Sewer line cleaning when buildup is more extensive
  • Hydro jetting for tougher blockages (when appropriate)

5. Testing and cleanup
After clearing the drain, we test multiple fixtures to confirm proper flow and clean the work area before leaving.

6. Final review
We explain what caused the issue, answer questions, and offer tips to help prevent future clogs, including best practices and maintenance recommendations.

Throughout the entire process, we keep communication clear and transparent so you always know what’s happening and what it will cost.

Serving Shreveport Homes & Businesses

Because we are a local, family-owned plumbing company, we view every service call as a chance to help a neighbor. Our team is in Shreveport homes & businesses on a daily basis, working in residential neighborhoods and commercial areas where functional drains are essential. Whether you are dealing with a slow sink at home or a backed up restroom in your storefront, our plumbers bring the same focus on reliable service and clear communication.

The age and style of local buildings, along with seasonal heavy rains at times, can put extra strain on drain and sewer systems. Older homes may have cast iron or clay piping that accumulates buildup or is more vulnerable to root intrusion. Busy commercial kitchens can also see grease and food waste build up quickly in lines. Our experience working in these conditions helps us choose methods that fit the situation and property.

We make emergency service available around the clock for serious plumbing problems that cannot wait. Many drain issues can also be scheduled for same-day service during regular hours, depending on call volume and timing. When you reach out to us, we let you know the soonest available window and keep you informed about arrival times as the day progresses.

Over nearly 20 years, Robert Brown Plumbing has built its reputation on dependable plumbing service, award-winning workmanship, and respect for customers. Our Local LOVE US Best Plumber awards, combined with our discount programs for veterans, first responders, educators, and seniors, reflect how seriously we take our role in this community. If you are looking for a drain clearing company Shreveport homeowners and business owners can call with confidence, our team is ready to take your call.

Do not wait for a minor slow drain to become a major backup. To schedule service or request a free estimate, contact us today at (318) 707-0447.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can you get to my clogged drain?

We work to respond as quickly as possible and often offer same-day appointments, depending on call volume and time of day. For serious backups with active overflow, we treat the situation as urgent and prioritize those calls. When you contact us, we will share the soonest available time.

How much does professional drain clearing usually cost?

Pricing depends on factors like drain location, severity of the blockage, and how easy it is to access the line. We provide free estimates before work starts and keep our pricing straightforward, so you know what to expect. There are no hidden fees added after you approve the job.

What should I do before your plumbers arrive?

If it is safe, stop using affected fixtures and avoid pouring chemical cleaners into the drain, since they can sometimes make work harder and less safe. If water is overflowing, you can shut off nearby valves when possible. Our team can offer additional guidance when you call.

Can your team fix drains that keep clogging?

Yes, we regularly help customers with drains that clog again after short periods. Our plumbers look for the root cause, such as heavy buildup or root intrusion, and then recommend an approach that aims for a longer-term answer. This may involve more thorough cleaning of the line when appropriate.

Will your plumbers keep my home or business clean?

We work carefully to protect your property while we clear your drains. Our technicians use appropriate containment and cleanup practices, then pick up their work area before leaving. Respect for your home or business is part of the service we provide on every call.
