Our Drain Cleaning Process

How We Clear Your Drains

First, we assess the situation. Our technician examines your drain issue and determines the best approach. For complex problems, we use camera inspection to see exactly what’s causing the blockage and where it’s located.

Next, we clear the drain using the right method for your specific situation. This might be snaking for simple clogs, hydro-jetting for stubborn buildup, or specialized tools for root intrusions. We don’t just push the problem further down the line.

Finally, we test the drain thoroughly and clean up completely. You’ll see the water flowing properly before we leave. We also explain what caused the problem and how to prevent it from happening again.

What's Included in Our Service

Every drain cleaning service includes a thorough diagnosis of the problem. We don’t just treat symptoms – we identify why your drain clogged in the first place. You’ll understand what happened and what we’re doing to fix it.

We handle all types of drains throughout your home. Kitchen sinks backed up with grease and food particles. Bathroom drains slow from hair and soap buildup. Floor drains in basements. Main sewer lines affected by tree roots.

Our service includes cleanup and testing. We don’t leave a mess behind, and we make sure the drain is working properly before we consider the job complete. You also get straightforward advice on preventing future problems.

If you’re dealing with a single slow drain that hasn’t been a recurring problem, you might try a plunger or basic drain snake first. However, call us if the clog keeps coming back, multiple drains are slow, you’re seeing sewage backup, or there are foul odors. These signs usually indicate a deeper problem that requires professional equipment and expertise. Repeated DIY attempts often make the problem worse and more expensive to fix later.
Recurring clogs usually mean the original problem wasn’t fully addressed. Common causes include partial blockages that weren’t completely removed, pipe damage that catches debris, or root intrusion in sewer lines. Sometimes the issue is further down the line than basic snaking can reach. We use camera inspection to identify the actual cause and location of persistent problems, then use the appropriate method like hydro-jetting to clear everything out completely.
Most standard drain cleaning jobs take 30 minutes to an hour. Simple clogs near the drain opening are usually cleared quickly. More complex issues like main sewer line blockages or situations requiring camera inspection can take 1-2 hours. We’ll give you a time estimate after assessing your specific situation. Emergency calls get priority scheduling, and we work efficiently to get your drains flowing again as quickly as possible.
Hydro-jetting is generally safe for most pipes when performed by trained professionals, but older pipes require careful assessment first. We inspect the condition of your pipes before recommending hydro-jetting. For pipes that are already damaged or extremely old, we use gentler methods that effectively clean without risking further damage. Our technicians are trained to select the right cleaning method based on your specific pipe material, age, and condition.
For emergency drain backups, call us immediately. We provide 24/7 emergency service for serious drain problems that can’t wait until regular business hours. Stop using the affected drain and any connected fixtures to prevent further backup. If there’s sewage involved, avoid the area and don’t try to clean it yourself. Turn off water to the affected area if possible. We’ll respond quickly to prevent property damage and health hazards.
Prevention starts with being mindful of what goes down your drains. In kitchens, avoid putting grease, coffee grounds, and food scraps down the disposal. Use drain screens to catch debris. In bathrooms, remove hair from drains regularly and avoid flushing anything besides toilet paper. Schedule periodic professional cleaning for main sewer lines, especially if you have large trees near your sewer line. We can set up a maintenance schedule based on your home’s specific needs and history.
