About Drain Cleaning
Slow drains and clogs are among the most common plumbing problems homeowners face. Most drain clogs form gradually — grease, hair, soap scum, and mineral deposits from hard water accumulate over time until flow is restricted or completely blocked. Chemical drain cleaners provide temporary relief at best and can damage pipes over time, especially older clay or galvanized pipes.
Professional drain cleaning services use cable snaking for simple single-drain clogs and hydro-jetting — high-pressure water at 3,000-4,000 PSI — for serious blockages, root intrusion, or main sewer line cleaning. Video camera inspection identifies the exact cause and location of persistent problems, allowing targeted repair rather than guesswork.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between snaking and hydro-jetting?
A drain snake (auger) physically breaks through a clog or pulls it out. Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the entire pipe wall clean — far more thorough for grease buildup, scale, or root intrusion. Hydro-jetting costs more but lasts longer.
Why does my drain keep clogging?
Recurring clogs in the same drain usually indicate a buildup issue that snaking isn't fully resolving, or a structural problem like a belly in the pipe or tree root intrusion. Camera inspection identifies the root cause.
Can chemical drain cleaners damage my pipes?
Yes, particularly for older pipes. Caustic chemicals generate heat that can warp PVC and corrode galvanized or cast iron pipes over time. They're also ineffective against root intrusion and significant grease buildup.
How much does drain cleaning cost?
Simple drain snaking runs $75-$200 for a single drain. Hydro-jetting runs $300-$600 depending on the length of line. Main sewer line clearing typically runs $150-$500 depending on the method used.
