Drain & Sewer Cleaning

Overview

Drain & Sewer Cleaning

From a single slow sink to a full sewer backup, clogged drains are one of the most common calls we run. We diagnose the cause first — grease buildup, root intrusion, a collapsed line, or simple debris — then clear it with the right tool for the job, not just the cheapest one.

For recurring or stubborn stoppages we run a camera inspection so you can see exactly what's happening inside the line, then recommend a fix that solves the actual problem instead of a temporary snake-and-go.

FAQ

Common Questions

Still have questions about drain & sewer cleaning? We're happy to talk it through.

Ask Our Team

Snaking punches through a clog mechanically; hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the entire pipe wall clean, which lasts longer for grease buildup and root intrusion.

For most homes, every 18-24 months is a good preventive interval; homes with mature trees near the line or a history of backups may benefit from annual service.

Yes — our camera inspections record video so you can see the exact condition of the pipe, not just take our word for it.
