Professional Drain Cleaning Services

Your Drains Will Flow Like New Again

When your drains are working properly, you don’t think about them. That’s exactly what you get with professional drain cleaning—drains that handle everything you throw at them without backing up, gurgling, or creating unpleasant smells throughout your home.

You’ll have peace of mind knowing the clog is completely gone, not just pushed further down the line. Your kitchen sink will drain quickly after washing dishes. Your bathroom drains won’t pool water during showers. And you won’t deal with that sinking feeling when you hear water backing up somewhere in your house.

The difference between professional drain cleaning and temporary fixes is simple: we remove the entire blockage and buildup, so you get months or years of trouble-free drainage instead of the same problem returning in a few weeks.

We Handle Every Type of Drain Problem

Whether it’s a kitchen sink clogged with grease buildup, a bathroom drain full of hair and soap scum, or a main sewer line backup affecting multiple fixtures, we have the equipment and experience to handle it. We work on residential and commercial properties throughout Wheaton.

Our service includes emergency drain cleaning for those situations that can’t wait—like when your basement floor drain backs up or your main line clogs on a weekend. We also provide preventive drain cleaning to help you avoid emergency situations in the first place.

You’ll get the same thorough approach whether it’s a simple bathroom sink clog or a complex sewer drain problem. We use the right tools for each situation and take the time to do the job properly the first time.

Drain cleaning costs depend on the severity of the clog and which drains are affected. Simple kitchen or bathroom drain clogs typically cost less than main sewer line cleaning. We provide upfront pricing after assessing your specific situation, so you’ll know the exact cost before any work begins. Most homeowners find that professional drain cleaning costs much less than dealing with water damage from a backup or paying for multiple service calls when DIY methods don’t work. Emergency service may include additional fees, but we’ll explain all costs clearly when you call.
Most single drain clogs can be cleared within 30 to 60 minutes once we arrive and assess the problem. Kitchen drains with grease buildup might take a bit longer, while simple hair clogs in bathroom drains are often faster. Main sewer line cleaning can take 1-2 hours depending on the extent of the blockage and the length of pipe that needs attention. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe after we evaluate your specific situation. The goal is to do the job thoroughly, not quickly—rushing through drain cleaning often means the problem comes back sooner.
Professional drain cleaning should never damage your pipes when done correctly. We assess your pipe material and condition before choosing the appropriate cleaning method. For older pipes, we use gentler techniques, while newer, more durable pipes can handle more aggressive cleaning methods like hydro jetting. Store-bought chemical drain cleaners are actually more likely to damage pipes than professional mechanical cleaning. We avoid harsh chemicals that can corrode pipes over time. If we discover any existing pipe damage during the cleaning process, we’ll let you know and discuss your options before proceeding.
Most homes benefit from professional drain cleaning every 1-2 years as preventive maintenance, but this varies based on usage and what goes down your drains. Kitchen drains that handle a lot of grease may need attention more frequently, while guest bathroom drains might go longer between cleanings. If you have large trees near your sewer line, you might need more frequent main line cleaning due to root intrusion. We’ll give you a realistic recommendation based on what we find during service. Signs you need cleaning sooner include slow drainage, gurgling sounds, or unpleasant odors coming from drains.
Yes, we provide emergency drain cleaning for situations that can’t wait until regular business hours. This includes main sewer line backups, multiple drains backing up simultaneously, or any drain problem that’s causing water damage or creating unsanitary conditions in your home. Emergency service is available evenings, weekends, and holidays. While emergency calls may include additional fees, we’ll explain all costs upfront so you can make an informed decision. Some situations genuinely need immediate attention, while others can wait until regular hours—we’ll give you honest advice about which category your problem falls into.
Drain snaking uses a flexible cable with cutting attachments to break through clogs and pull out debris. It’s effective for most common blockages like hair, soap buildup, and small objects. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to completely clean pipe walls and remove years of buildup including grease, mineral deposits, and tree roots. Snaking is typically used for newer clogs, while hydro jetting is better for thorough cleaning or stubborn blockages. The choice depends on your pipes’ condition, the type of clog, and whether you want basic clearing or comprehensive cleaning. We’ll recommend the best method for your specific situation and explain why.
