Signs your drain line needs cleaning

A drain that is slowing down is telling you something upstream is wrong. It rarely fixes itself.

  • Water drains slower every week
  • Gurgling from drains or the toilet
  • The same drain clogs again and again
  • A sewage smell in the house or yard
  • More than one fixture backing up at once
  • Water backing up when the washer drains

How we clear a clogged drain

The right method depends on what is actually in the pipe, which is why we look first. Dealing with one fixture? See our common clogs pages for toilets, sinks, tubs, showers, and more.

Snaking and mechanical clearing

Punches through the clog and gets you flowing again. The right answer for a one-off blockage.

High-pressure jetting

Scours the whole pipe wall clean of grease and scale, which lasts far longer on a recurring problem.

Camera inspection and locating

Finds the actual cause, a bellied pipe, roots or grease, and locates it exactly before anyone digs.

Grease traps and maintenance

Grease trap cleaning and recurring maintenance schedules that keep the line from closing you down.

Questions We Get Asked About Drain Cleaning

What people ask when the same drain keeps backing up.

What is the difference between snaking and jetting?

Snaking punches through a clog mechanically. High-pressure jetting scours the whole pipe wall clean of grease and scale, which lasts far longer for recurring problems.

Why does the same drain keep clogging?

Usually because something upstream is wrong: a bellied pipe, roots, or grease buildup. A camera inspection finds the actual cause instead of treating the symptom.

What are your hours?

Monday through Sunday, 8:00am to 9:00pm. Requests that come in after 9:00pm get a call back first thing the next morning.

Can I watch the camera inspection?

Yes, and we encourage it. You see the inside of your own line, so any repair we recommend is something you have already seen with your own eyes.

Are chemical drain cleaners worth using first?

We would rather you did not. They rarely clear a real blockage, they damage older pipe, and they make the line unpleasant to work on when we do arrive.
