Our Drain Cleaning Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we assess your specific drain problem and give you upfront pricing before any work begins. No surprises, no hidden fees, no pressure tactics.

Next, we use professional drain cleaning equipment to clear the blockage completely. For stubborn clogs or recurring problems, we’ll run a camera inspection to see exactly what’s happening inside your pipes. This shows us tree roots, pipe damage, or buildup that keeps causing problems.

After we clear the drain, we test it thoroughly to make sure water flows properly. We’ll also explain what caused the clog and give you practical advice on preventing future issues. You’ll know your drain is working correctly before we pack up our equipment.

Complete Drain Cleaning Solutions

What's Included in Our Service

Our drain cleaning service covers kitchen drains, bathroom sinks, shower drains, floor drains, and main sewer lines. We handle everything from simple hair clogs to complex blockages that require professional equipment.

You get camera inspection when needed to identify the root cause of recurring problems. We use high-pressure water jetting for thorough cleaning and mechanical augers for stubborn blockages. Our trucks carry the tools needed to handle most drain problems on the first visit.

Emergency drain cleaning is available when you’re dealing with backups or complete blockages that can’t wait. We understand that some drain problems need immediate attention, especially when they’re affecting your ability to use your kitchen or bathroom normally.

Drain cleaning costs depend on the severity of the blockage and which type of drain needs service. Simple clogs in bathroom or kitchen sinks typically cost less than main sewer line cleaning. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying. Most homeowners find that professional drain cleaning costs less than dealing with repeated clogs or potential water damage from backups. Emergency service may include additional fees, but we’ll explain all costs clearly before beginning the work.
Most drain cleaning jobs take 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the location and severity of the blockage. Simple kitchen or bathroom drain clogs usually clear quickly with professional equipment. Main sewer line cleaning or drains that require camera inspection take longer. We’ll give you a realistic time estimate when we assess your specific situation. Our goal is to complete the work efficiently while making sure the problem is completely resolved, not just temporarily fixed.
Recurring drain clogs usually mean there’s an underlying issue that wasn’t addressed. Common causes include partial blockages that weren’t completely cleared, pipe damage that catches debris, tree root intrusion in sewer lines, or buildup from grease and soap residue. In Glendale Heights, we also see problems from aging cast iron pipes that develop rough interiors. A camera inspection can identify exactly what’s causing repeated clogs so we can fix the actual problem instead of just treating symptoms each time.
Yes, we provide emergency drain cleaning when you’re dealing with complete blockages, sewage backups, or situations that can’t wait for regular business hours. Emergency situations include drains that are backing up into your home, completely blocked main sewer lines, or multiple drains failing at once. We understand that some drain problems need immediate attention to prevent water damage or health hazards. Emergency service includes additional fees, but we’ll explain the costs upfront and focus on getting your drains working safely again.
Professional drain cleaning with proper equipment won’t damage your pipes when done correctly. We use appropriate tools and techniques based on your specific pipe material and age. Our technicians are trained to clear blockages without causing harm to your plumbing system. However, we’ll let you know if we discover existing pipe damage during the cleaning process. Store-bought chemical drain cleaners are actually more likely to damage pipes than professional mechanical cleaning methods. We can also perform camera inspections to check pipe condition if you have concerns about older plumbing.
The best prevention depends on which drains you’re trying to protect. For kitchen drains, avoid putting grease, coffee grounds, and food scraps down the disposal. Bathroom drains benefit from regular hair removal and avoiding soap buildup. Use drain screens to catch debris before it goes down the pipes. We’ll give you specific maintenance tips based on your particular situation and what we find during the cleaning process. Regular professional cleaning can also prevent major blockages from developing, especially in older homes or properties with large trees near sewer lines.
