Whether your sink is draining slowly or your main sewer line is backing up, drain issues can go from a small nuisance to a serious plumbing emergency quickly. Left unresolved, they lead to water damage, health risks, and avoidable repair costs.
Turner Plumbing has helped Jacksonville homeowners diagnose and resolve drain problems for over 80 years. Our team combines expert diagnostics with the right equipment to clear stoppages, locate the root cause, and provide the right fix—without overpromising or upselling.
If your drain is blocked, leaking, or gurgling, we’ll get to the bottom of it—and get your water flowing again.
These signs often point to more than just a clog. If the issue recurs or affects multiple fixtures, there may be a deeper problem—inside or outside your home.
Drain cleaning clears a blockage. Drain repair solves the reason it keeps happening.
Our team can do both, but here’s the difference:
If your home has older cast iron lines, improper slope, or landscaping over the sewer run, we’ll identify and explain the underlying issue—not just clear it and leave.
From a slow sink drain to a full sewer backup, we use motorized snakes and sewer machines to clear blockages efficiently. This includes:
When clogs keep coming back, we use waterproof cameras to inspect the line interior. This helps us identify issues like:
We can pinpoint the exact location and depth of the issue before recommending next steps.
If inspection reveals damage, we’ll explain whether a spot repair or full line replacement is appropriate. We handle:
If you’re experiencing strong sewer odors indoors but can’t find the source, we may recommend smoke testing. This technique reveals cracks or breaches in vent stacks and sewer lines inside the home—especially in older properties.
Some homes experience hidden leaks below the concrete slab or behind walls. If your drain line is cracked or corroded under your foundation, we’ll locate it with acoustic and camera tools—and repair it with minimal disruption.
Drain issues aren’t just about what goes down the pipe. Common causes include:
Whatever the cause, we’ll explain it in plain terms—and fix it with a long-term solution, not just a quick patch.
We start with a visual check and, if needed, camera diagnostics to assess the condition and location of the issue.
For clogs, we’ll clear the line. If damage is found, we’ll provide options for repair or replacement. We’ll show you the issue via camera footage or pictures when possible, so you see what we see.
Once the work is done, we test all affected fixtures to ensure flow is restored and the problem is resolved. You’ll get a walkthrough of what was done, how to prevent future issues, and what to expect.
Whether it’s a slow drain, a recurring clog, or a suspected sewer issue, the sooner you act, the more options you have—and the less damage you’ll face.
At Turner Plumbing, we don’t just clear drains—we find out why the issue happened and help you prevent it from coming back. From camera inspections to full line repairs, our technicians are here to provide solutions that last, not just temporary fixes.

If multiple fixtures are slow or backing up at the same time—especially toilets—it’s often a main line issue. Gurgling or water rising in one fixture when another is used is another red flag.
Yes. Even small cracks in clay or cast iron pipes can attract roots, which then expand and block the line. It’s a common issue in Jacksonville neighborhoods with mature trees.
Not always. We often fix issues with spot repairs. But if the line is heavily corroded, collapsed, or has multiple failure points, replacement may be the more reliable—and cost-effective—option.
If this is your first time with a clog, probably not. But if the same line keeps backing up, a camera helps confirm whether there’s a deeper issue worth fixing permanently.
