Your Drains Work Like New Again

When your kitchen sink backs up during dinner prep or your bathroom drain turns into a small lake, you need more than a quick fix. You need drains that actually drain.

Professional drain cleaning gets to the root of the problem. We’re talking about grease buildup that’s been accumulating for months, hair clogs that snake solutions can’t touch, and tree roots that have found their way into your sewer line. The kind of blockages that laugh at store-bought drain cleaners.

After we’re done, water flows the way it should. No more standing in ankle-deep shower water. No more kitchen sinks that take twenty minutes to empty. Just drains that work reliably, day after day, without the constant worry of when the next backup will happen.

Our Drain Cleaning Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we assess what’s actually causing the blockage. Sometimes it’s obvious, sometimes it’s not. We use video inspection equipment when needed to see exactly what’s happening inside your pipes.

Next, we choose the right tool for the job. Cable machines for most clogs, hydro jetting for grease and soap buildup, and specialized equipment for more complex blockages. We don’t use the same approach for every drain because every blockage is different.

After clearing the blockage, we test the drain thoroughly to make sure water flows properly. Then we explain what we found, what we did, and give you practical advice on preventing the same problem from happening again. You get a clear explanation and a drain that actually works.

Complete Drain Cleaning Solutions

We Handle All Types Of Blockages

Kitchen drains clogged with grease and food particles. Bathroom sinks slow from hair and soap scum. Floor drains backing up in basements. Main sewer lines blocked by tree roots or collapsed pipes.

We handle emergency drain cleaning when you can’t wait, and scheduled maintenance cleaning to prevent problems before they start. Our equipment includes everything from basic cable machines to high-pressure water jetting systems that can clear even the most stubborn blockages.

Every service comes with upfront pricing, so you know what you’re paying before we start work. We also provide recommendations for keeping your drains flowing smoothly between professional cleanings, because preventing problems is always better than fixing them.

Drain cleaning typically costs between $150-400 depending on the severity and location of the blockage. Simple bathroom sink clogs cost less than main sewer line blockages that require hydro jetting. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying. Emergency service calls may include additional fees, but we’ll explain all costs clearly when you call. Most homeowners find professional cleaning costs less than repeatedly buying drain cleaners that don’t solve the underlying problem.
Drain snaking uses a cable with a cutting head to break through blockages and pull out debris. It works well for hair clogs, small objects, and most routine blockages. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to completely clean pipe walls, removing grease buildup, soap scum, and mineral deposits that snaking can’t touch. We choose the method based on what’s actually blocking your drain. Snaking is usually sufficient for simple clogs, while hydro jetting is better for recurring problems or heavily built-up pipes.
Most homes benefit from professional drain cleaning every 1-2 years, but it depends on your usage and what goes down your drains. Kitchen drains that handle a lot of cooking grease may need annual cleaning, while bathroom drains in homes with long hair might need attention more frequently. If you’re dealing with slow drains every few months, recurring clogs, or foul odors, it’s time for professional cleaning. We can assess your specific situation and recommend a maintenance schedule that prevents problems rather than just reacting to them.
Yes, but chemical drain cleaners often make our job more difficult and can be dangerous for our technicians. These products rarely solve the underlying problem and can damage older pipes, especially if used repeatedly. When we arrive at a job where chemicals have been used, we take extra safety precautions and may need to flush the system before using our equipment. If you’re dealing with a clogged drain, it’s better to call us first rather than trying multiple chemical products that might not work anyway.
Yes, we provide emergency drain cleaning services when you can’t wait for regular business hours. Sewage backing up into your home, completely blocked main drains, or situations where water damage is a concern qualify as emergencies. Emergency service includes additional fees, but we’ll explain the costs when you call. For less urgent situations like slow-draining sinks or tubs, we can usually schedule service within a day or two at regular rates. We’ll help you determine whether your situation requires immediate attention or can wait for standard scheduling.
If a drain backs up again shortly after professional cleaning, call us immediately. This usually indicates a more serious problem like a damaged pipe, major root intrusion, or an issue we couldn’t see during the initial service. We warranty our drain cleaning work, so if the same blockage returns within a reasonable timeframe, we’ll come back to investigate at no additional charge. Sometimes what appears to be a simple clog is actually a symptom of a larger plumbing issue that requires a different approach or additional work to resolve permanently.
