Drain cleaning

Drains cleared right — the first time

Slow sink, standing tub, gurgling toilet? Our plumbers clear branch drains with professional-grade cable machines, then verify with a camera so you know the line is actually open — not just temporarily punched through.


What we clear

Every drain in the house

This is branch-drain work — the lines that run from your fixtures to the main sewer. Different drains clog for different reasons, and we match the tool to the problem.

Kitchen sinks & disposals

Grease, food particles, and soap scum narrow kitchen lines over time. We cable the line open and, for heavy grease, recommend a jetting pass that scours the pipe walls clean.

Bathroom sinks, tubs & showers

Hair and soap are the usual suspects here. We pull traps, snake the line, and get full flow back — plus tell you what strainers and habits keep it that way.

Toilets & laundry lines

Recurring toilet clogs and slow laundry standpipes often mean a partial blockage further down the line. We clear it and camera-check to make sure the obstruction is gone, not just relocated.

When it's bigger than a branch drain

Multiple fixtures backing up? That's the main line.

If several drains are slow at once, toilets gurgle when the washer runs, or sewage is coming up anywhere — the problem is downstream of your branch drains, in the main sewer line. That's a different service with different equipment:

Rooter service

Tree roots and solid blockages in the main sewer line, cut out with sewer machines built for the job.

Hydro jetting

High-pressure water that scours grease, scale, and sludge off main-line pipe walls — the deep clean for lines cabling can't fully clear.

FAQ

Drain questions, answered

Will chemical drain cleaners fix my clog?
Rarely, and they can make things worse. Caustic cleaners eat at old pipes, damage fixture finishes, and create a chemical bath that makes professional cleaning more hazardous — without reliably clearing the blockage. A mechanical cleaning removes the actual obstruction. Skip the bottle.
How much does drain cleaning cost?
It depends on the drain, the access, and what's in the line. We diagnose first and give you an exact upfront price before we start — you approve it, then we work. No hourly meter running, no surprise line items.
My drain keeps clogging in the same spot. Why?
Recurring clogs in the same drain point to a cause, not a coincidence — a sagging section of pipe (a 'belly'), root intrusion, a broken pipe, or buildup that cabling punches through but doesn't remove. That's exactly what our camera inspection is for: we find the real problem instead of clearing the same clog every six months.
Can you clear kitchen sink clogs caused by grease?
Yes — grease is one of the most common kitchen drain problems we see. Cabling opens the line, but heavy grease buildup often needs hydro jetting to scour it off the pipe walls completely. We'll tell you which one your line actually needs.
Do you guarantee the drain stays clear?
We stand behind our work: if the same drain backs up again shortly after we clear it, call us and we'll come back and make it right. If the camera shows a broken or root-infested line that needs more than cleaning, we'll show you the footage and explain your options honestly.
