What It Is
Drain cleaning clears the grease, hair, soap and debris that build up inside your pipes. Depending on the clog, we use a cable machine, a camera to see what's inside, or a high-pressure water jet to scour the line clean.
Drain Cleaning & Jetting
Fast, thorough clearing for slow and stopped drains, with camera inspection available.
Signs You Need It
- Sinks, tubs or showers that drain slowly
- Gurgling sounds from drains or toilets
- Water backing up in more than one fixture
- Sewer odors inside the house
What To Expect
We start by asking which fixtures are affected, which tells us whether it's a single drain or the main line. We clear the clog, run water to confirm it flows freely, and show you camera footage when we use it.
Residential Services
What We Handle
-
Kitchen Drains
Kitchen lines clog from grease, food scraps and soap that harden inside the pipe. We clear the line from the sink to where it joins the main so the whole run flows again.
What's included
- Clearing the sink drain and trap
- Cabling the branch line
- Checking garbage disposal connections
- Flow test after cleaning
Common signs you need this
- Water standing in the sink after use
- Dishwasher water backing into the sink
- Bad smell coming from the drain
-
Bathroom Drains
Hair and soap scum are the usual cause of slow sinks, tubs and showers. We pull the blockage out and clean the line instead of just pushing it further down.
What's included
- Sink, tub and shower drain clearing
- Removing and cleaning stoppers and traps
- Toilet clog clearing
- Flow test on every fixture we touch
Common signs you need this
- Water pooling around your feet in the shower
- Slow-draining bathroom sink
- Toilet that clogs often
-
Main Sewer Lines
When several drains back up at once, the clog is usually in the main line that carries everything out to the sewer or septic. We clear it from a cleanout so every fixture drains again.
What's included
- Locating and opening the cleanout
- Cabling the main line
- Clearing roots and heavy buildup
- Checking every fixture afterward
Common signs you need this
- Several drains backing up at the same time
- Water coming up in the tub when the toilet flushes
- Gurgling from floor drains or toilets
-
Camera Inspection
A camera on a flexible cable lets us see inside your pipes. It shows exactly where and why a line keeps clogging, so you aren't guessing about the next step.
What's included
- Video inspection of the drain or sewer line
- Locating the problem spot and its depth
- Walking you through the footage
- Recommendations based on what we see
Common signs you need this
- Clogs that keep coming back
- Buying an older home
- Suspected roots or a broken pipe
-
Hydro Jetting
Hydro jetting sends high-pressure water through the pipe to scour off grease, scale and roots. It cleans the full width of the pipe wall, which helps the line stay clear longer.
What's included
- Camera check to confirm the pipe can take jetting
- High-pressure cleaning of the line
- Flushing debris out to the sewer
- Final flow test
Common signs you need this
- Grease buildup that cabling doesn't fix
- Repeat main line clogs
- Root intrusion in the sewer line
