Your drains work the way they’re supposed to work. Water flows freely. No more standing water, no more foul smells, no more wondering if today’s the day you’ll be dealing with an overflow. Just reliable drainage that lets you get on with your day without thinking about your plumbing.

Our Drain Cleaning Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we assess what’s actually causing the blockage. Not every clog is the same, and the solution depends on what we’re dealing with – grease buildup, hair, roots, or something else entirely.

Next, we use the right equipment for your specific situation. Sometimes that’s professional-grade snaking equipment. Other times it’s hydro-jetting to blast away years of buildup. We match the method to the problem.

Finally, we test everything to make sure water flows properly and check for any underlying issues that could cause problems down the road. You’ll know exactly what we found, what we fixed, and what to watch for. No surprises, no wondering if the problem’s really solved.

Complete Drain Cleaning Solutions

Everything We Handle in One Call

We handle all types of drain cleaning – kitchen sinks backed up with grease, bathroom drains clogged with hair and soap buildup, floor drains in basements, and main sewer lines blocked by roots or debris. Emergency situations get priority response because we know a backed-up drain doesn’t wait for business hours.

Our service includes thorough inspection to identify the root cause, not just the symptoms. Many Itasca homes deal with recurring clogs because previous attempts only addressed surface-level blockages. We dig deeper to find what’s really causing the problem.

You get upfront pricing before we start work, professional equipment that gets the job done right, and a warranty on the service. We also clean up after ourselves and respect your property – no muddy footprints or equipment left scattered around your yard.

Drain cleaning costs vary depending on the severity and location of the blockage. Simple sink or shower drain cleaning typically runs less than more complex main line blockages that require specialized equipment. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying. No surprise charges or hidden fees after the job is done. The investment usually pays for itself by preventing water damage and avoiding repeated service calls for temporary fixes.
Most standard drain clogs can be cleared within an hour, depending on the severity and location. Simple blockages in sinks or tubs often take 30-45 minutes. More complex issues like main sewer line blockages or extensive root intrusion may take 2-3 hours. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe once we assess the situation. Emergency calls get priority scheduling, and we work efficiently to get your drains flowing again as quickly as possible without cutting corners on quality.
Recurring clogs usually mean the original cleaning only addressed surface blockage, not the underlying cause. Hair, grease, and soap buildup can reform quickly if the pipes weren’t thoroughly cleaned. Root intrusion is another common culprit in Itasca’s tree-heavy neighborhoods – roots grow back if they’re just cut and not properly treated. We use professional-grade equipment and techniques that remove buildup completely and address root problems at the source, which is why our cleaning lasts longer than quick fixes.
Yes, we adjust our methods based on your pipe material and age. Older homes in Itasca often have cast iron or clay pipes that require different techniques than modern PVC systems. We start with the gentlest effective method and only escalate if necessary. Our technicians are trained to recognize signs of pipe deterioration and will recommend the safest approach for your specific plumbing system. We’d rather take a bit more time than risk damaging your pipes and creating a bigger, more expensive problem.
Yes, we provide emergency drain cleaning services because we know plumbing problems don’t follow business hours. Backed-up drains can cause water damage, health hazards, and major inconvenience when they happen at night or on weekends. We prioritize emergency calls and aim to respond quickly to prevent further damage. Emergency service rates may apply for after-hours calls, but we’ll discuss pricing upfront so there are no surprises when you’re already dealing with a stressful situation.
Snaking uses a flexible cable with cutting attachments to break through blockages and pull out debris. It’s effective for most standard clogs and gentler on older pipes. Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to completely scour pipe walls clean, removing grease buildup, mineral deposits, and root intrusions more thoroughly. We choose the method based on your specific blockage, pipe condition, and long-term needs. Sometimes snaking is sufficient; other times hydro-jetting provides a more complete, longer-lasting solution.
