Clogged drains we clear every day

  • Kitchen sinks: grease, food waste and garbage disposal clogs.
  • Bathroom sinks, tubs and showers: hair and soap scum buildup.
  • Toilets: clogs, slow flushing and gurgling.
  • Laundry and floor drains: lint, sediment and backups.
  • Main sewer lines: when several drains back up at once.

How we clean a drain

First we figure out where the clog is. A single slow fixture is usually a branch line; water coming up in the tub when the toilet flushes points to the main line. Then we pick the right tool: a cable machine for most clogs, hydro jetting for heavy grease, scale or roots, and a sewer camera when a line keeps clogging or we suspect damage.

Before we leave, we run water through the line to confirm it's flowing and explain what we found.

Main line clogs and cleanouts

Main line work is fastest when there's an accessible cleanout, usually a capped pipe near the foundation or in the yard. If your house doesn't have one, or it's buried, we can still reach the line and can talk with you about adding a cleanout to make future service easier.

When a clog keeps coming back

Recurring clogs are a sign that something is wrong inside the pipe: roots, a belly where waste settles, heavy grease or a broken section. Clearing it again only buys time. A camera inspection shows the cause so we can recommend a real fix, whether that's jetting, a spot repair or a section replacement.

FAQ

Common questions

How much does drain cleaning cost?

It depends on which drain is clogged, how far down the clog is, whether there's an accessible cleanout, and whether the line needs cabling, hydro jetting or a camera inspection. We'll look at it and give you the price before we start.

What's the difference between snaking and hydro jetting?

A drain snake (cable machine) punches a hole through a clog and gets water flowing. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the full inside of the pipe, removing grease, scale and roots that a cable leaves behind. Snaking is often enough for a single fixture; jetting is better for recurring main line clogs.

Why does my drain keep clogging?

Repeat clogs usually mean something is left in the pipe: grease buildup in a kitchen line, roots getting into the sewer, a belly (low spot) where waste settles, or a broken section of pipe. A camera inspection shows which one it is, so the fix lasts.

Are chemical drain cleaners safe for my pipes?

We don't recommend them. Harsh chemical cleaners can damage older pipes and seals, rarely clear a solid blockage, and make the drain dangerous to work on afterward. Mechanical cleaning is safer and more reliable.

What are signs of a main sewer line clog?

Several drains backing up at the same time, water rising in the shower when you flush the toilet, gurgling sounds, sewage odors, or water coming out of a floor drain or cleanout. If you see these, stop running water and call us.
