Professional drain cleaning for every drain in your home
Store-bought products and plungers often push a clog deeper instead of removing it. Our plumbers clear the blockage completely, flush the line and check that water runs freely again. If the same drain keeps clogging, we look inside the pipe with a camera so you know whether it needs cleaning or repair.
Signs you need drain cleaning
Water drains slowly or pools in the sink, tub or shower
Gurgling sounds from drains or the toilet
Bad smells coming from a drain
A toilet that clogs again and again
Water backing up into a tub or shower when you flush or run the washer (often a main line clog)
Several drains slow at the same time
Drains we clear
Kitchen sink and garbage disposal drains
Grease, food scraps and coffee grounds harden inside kitchen lines. We clear the sink, disposal and dishwasher drain so they all flow again.
Bathroom sink, shower and tub drains
Hair and soap build-up are the usual cause. We remove the clog without damaging the drain stopper or finish.
Clogged toilets
When a plunger doesn’t work, we clear the toilet drain and check whether the blockage is in the toilet or further down the line.
Main line and sewer drain cleaning
If several fixtures back up at once, the clog is in the main line. We clear it through the cleanout and, where needed, inspect the line with a camera.
Laundry, floor and outdoor drains
Lint, dirt and leaves block laundry standpipes, floor drains and yard drains. We clear them and flush the line.
Emergencies we handle around the clock
Drain snaking (cable auger)
A motorized cable breaks up or pulls out the clog. It’s the fastest fix for most sink, tub, shower and toilet blockages.
Hydro jetting
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour grease, scale and roots from the pipe walls, cleaning the full width of the line — the best option for main lines and recurring clogs.
Camera inspection
A waterproof camera shows what’s inside the pipe — roots, cracks, sags or build-up — so you only pay for the fix you need.
If the camera shows broken or collapsed pipe, cleaning won’t fix it. We’ll explain your sewer line repair options.

What affects the cost of drain cleaning?

How to prevent clogged drains

Drain cleaning FAQs
How much does drain cleaning cost?
It depends on where the clog is, how easy the line is to reach (a cleanout makes it faster), the method needed — a cable snake or hydro jetting — and whether it is after hours. A single sink or tub clog costs less than clearing a main line. We tell you the price before we start.
Is professional drain cleaning worth it?
Yes, when a clog keeps coming back, more than one drain is slow, or store-bought products haven’t worked. A plumber removes the blockage instead of pushing it further down the pipe, and can check the line with a camera to find out why it clogged.
What is the difference between snaking and hydro jetting?
A drain snake (cable auger) cuts through or pulls out a clog — ideal for hair, soap and small blockages. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour grease, scale and roots off the inside of the pipe, so it suits main lines and clogs that keep returning.
Are chemical drain cleaners safe for my pipes?
They can damage older or weakened pipes and are hazardous to handle, and they often fail on solid clogs. If you have already poured one in, tell the technician before work starts.
Why does my drain keep clogging?
Recurring clogs usually mean something in the line — grease build-up, tree roots, a sag in the pipe or a damaged section. We run a camera to find the cause, then clean the line or recommend a repair.
Do you offer emergency drain cleaning?
Yes. We clear backed-up drains and sewer lines 24/7, including nights and weekends. Call (844) 941-2727.
How long does drain cleaning take?
Most sink, tub, shower and toilet clogs are cleared in a single visit. Main-line clogs, root problems and jobs that need a camera inspection take longer. We give you a time estimate with the price.
How can I prevent clogged drains?
Keep grease and food scraps out of the kitchen sink, use hair strainers in showers and tubs, and flush only toilet paper — no wipes, even “flushable” ones. If several drains slow down at once, call before it turns into a backup.
