Aurora Drain Cleaning Experts

We Know Aurora's Plumbing Challenges

FloTek Plumbing has been handling drain problems in Aurora for years. We know which neighborhoods have older cast iron pipes that collect grease buildup, and which areas deal with tree root intrusion from those big maples that make Aurora beautiful but wreak havoc on sewer lines.

We’re not the guys who show up with a basic snake and call it good. Our technicians carry professional-grade equipment and actually diagnose what’s causing your drain issues before we start working.

You’ll get upfront pricing before any work begins, and we’ll explain exactly what we found and how we’re going to fix it.

Our Drain Cleaning Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we assess the situation. We’ll ask about the symptoms you’ve noticed and run water to see how the drain is performing. If it’s a recurring problem, we’ll recommend a video inspection to see what’s actually happening inside your pipes.

Then we choose the right equipment for your specific blockage. Kitchen drains clogged with grease need different treatment than bathroom drains full of hair and soap buildup. Sewer line backups require our high-pressure water jetting equipment.

We clear the drain completely, not just enough to get water moving. You’ll see the difference immediately when we test the flow. Before we leave, we’ll explain what caused the problem and give you straight advice about preventing it from happening again.

Complete Drain Cleaning Services

Every Type of Drain Problem

We handle everything from simple bathroom sink clogs to major sewer line backups. Kitchen drains, floor drains, laundry room drains, shower and tub drains – if water is supposed to go down it and it’s not working right, we can fix it.

For emergency situations like sewage backing up into your basement or main line blockages, we offer same-day service. We understand that some drain problems can’t wait until Monday morning or regular business hours.

Our service includes cleaning up after ourselves and explaining what we found. You’ll know whether this was a one-time issue or something that might need attention again. We’ll also let you know if we spot any signs of bigger problems that could save you money to address now rather than later.

Most standard drain cleaning jobs in Aurora run between $150-300, depending on the severity of the blockage and which type of drain we’re working on. Kitchen sink clogs are usually on the lower end, while main sewer line cleaning costs more because it requires specialized equipment. We always give you the exact price before we start any work, so you’ll never get surprised by hidden fees or charges you weren’t expecting. Emergency service during evenings, weekends, or holidays may include an additional service call fee, but we’ll tell you about that upfront when you call.
Yes, and recurring clogs usually mean the previous cleaning didn’t address the root cause. Maybe someone just poked a hole through the blockage instead of removing it completely, or there’s an underlying issue like pipe damage or improper slope that keeps causing problems. We use video inspection equipment to see exactly what’s happening inside your pipes, so we can fix the actual problem instead of just treating the symptoms. Most of our customers with recurring drain issues find that a thorough professional cleaning with the right equipment solves the problem for good.
Yes, we provide emergency drain cleaning service for situations that can’t wait – like sewage backing up into your home, main sewer line blockages, or any drain problem that’s causing water damage or health hazards. We understand that serious drain problems don’t happen on a convenient schedule. Our emergency service includes evenings, weekends, and holidays. When you call for emergency service, we’ll let you know our estimated arrival time and any additional fees for after-hours service, so you know what to expect before we come out.
Store-bought chemical drain cleaners can actually damage your pipes over time, especially if you have older plumbing. They’re also only effective on certain types of clogs – they won’t do anything for tree roots, pipe scale buildup, or solid objects stuck in your drain. Professional drain cleaning uses mechanical methods like high-pressure water jetting and specialized augers that physically remove the entire blockage without damaging your pipes. We can also identify and fix underlying problems that cause recurring clogs, something chemicals can’t do. Plus, our methods are safer for your family and the environment.
Most standard drain cleaning jobs take 30 minutes to an hour once we start working. Simple bathroom sink or shower drain clogs are usually on the quicker side, while kitchen drains with heavy grease buildup or main sewer line cleaning can take longer. If we need to do a video inspection to diagnose the problem, that adds about 15-20 minutes. We’ll give you a time estimate when we assess your specific situation. The good news is that professional drain cleaning is usually much faster than trying multiple DIY methods that don’t work, and you get a permanent solution instead of a temporary fix.
Yes, we have specialized equipment specifically designed to cut through tree roots that have grown into sewer lines. This is actually a common problem in Aurora, especially in older neighborhoods with mature trees. We use root-cutting attachments and high-pressure water jetting to remove roots and clear the line completely. However, tree roots will eventually grow back unless you address the underlying pipe damage that let them in originally. We can show you exactly where the problem areas are with our video inspection equipment and discuss your options for a permanent solution, whether that’s spot repairs or pipe replacement in the affected section.
