Our Drain Cleaning Process

Here's How We Clear Your Drain

First, our technician inspects your drain to identify what’s causing the blockage. Camera inspection shows exactly where the clog is and what’s causing it – whether it’s hair, grease, soap buildup, or something else.

Next comes the actual cleaning. For most clogs, professional drain snakes or augers break through the blockage. For tougher clogs or pipe cleaning, hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the pipe walls clean.

After clearing the drain, you’ll see the water flowing properly again. Our technician tests the drain to make sure it’s working correctly and explains what caused the problem so you can prevent it from happening again.

Complete Drain Cleaning Solutions

What's Included In Your Service

Every drain cleaning service includes a thorough inspection to find the root cause of your drainage problem. You get professional-grade equipment – not the basic tools that only provide temporary fixes.

Kitchen drain cleaning tackles grease, food particles, and soap buildup that slows your sink. Bathroom drain cleaning removes hair clogs, soap scum, and mineral deposits from tubs, showers, and bathroom sinks.

For serious blockages, hydro jetting clears even the toughest clogs while cleaning your pipes completely. Emergency drain cleaning is available when you need immediate help with backups or completely blocked drains.

Drain cleaning typically costs between $150-$400 depending on the severity of the clog and which method is needed. Basic drain snaking for simple clogs costs less than hydro jetting for severe blockages. We provide upfront pricing after inspecting your drain, so you know the cost before any work begins. Emergency services may include additional fees for after-hours calls, but you’ll know all costs upfront.
Recurring clogs usually mean the drain wasn’t cleaned completely the first time, or there’s an underlying problem like pipe damage or improper slope. Hair and grease build up gradually, so partial cleaning just delays the problem. Tree roots can grow into sewer lines, causing repeated backups. Professional camera inspection identifies these root causes so the drain can be properly cleared and the underlying issue addressed.
Most drain cleaning jobs take 30-90 minutes depending on the location and severity of the clog. Simple bathroom sink clogs clear quickly with basic snaking. Kitchen drains with grease buildup take longer. Sewer line cleaning or hydro jetting can take 2-3 hours for complete cleaning. We’ll give you a time estimate after inspecting your specific situation and explaining which method will work best.
Hydro jetting is safe for most pipes when performed by trained professionals, but older pipes need careful evaluation first. Cast iron, clay, or damaged pipes might not handle high-pressure cleaning. That’s why we inspect your pipes with cameras before recommending hydro jetting. For fragile pipes, drain snaking or other gentler methods work better. The key is matching the cleaning method to your specific pipe condition and age.
Yes, we provide emergency drain cleaning when you’re dealing with sewage backups, completely blocked drains, or situations that could cause water damage. Emergency service is available evenings, weekends, and holidays because drain problems don’t wait for business hours. Response time is typically within 2 hours for true emergencies. Emergency rates apply for after-hours service, but you’ll know the pricing before scheduling.
Regular maintenance prevents most drain problems. In kitchens, avoid pouring grease down drains and use drain screens to catch food particles. In bathrooms, remove hair from drain covers regularly and avoid flushing anything besides toilet paper. Monthly hot water flushes help dissolve soap and grease buildup. Professional drain cleaning every 1-2 years removes buildup before it becomes a major clog, especially for homes with older plumbing or heavy usage.
