Cleared Properly, Not Just Opened
A cable that punches a hole through grease leaves the rest of the buildup on the pipe wall to catch the next thing that comes down. We scour the full diameter so the line actually stays clear.
Keep your drains flowing like the perfect wave. Sinks, tubs, showers, and mainlines cleared properly, then checked to make sure the blockage is actually gone.

Most drain calls are not really about the clog. They are about the fact that the same clog keeps coming back. Punching a hole through a grease plug gets the water moving for a fortnight, then you are back where you started and paying for it again.
There is a real difference between opening a drain and clearing one. A cable driven through a blockage makes a channel wide enough for water to pass, which looks like success on the day. The grease, scale, or root mass is still sitting on the pipe wall waiting for the next thing that comes down.
Clearing means taking the line back to its full diameter. On a greasy kitchen line or a root-prone sewer run, that usually means hydrojetting rather than cabling, because high-pressure water scours the wall instead of boring through the middle.
Drain pricing depends on which line is blocked, how accessible it is, and whether it needs cabling or jetting. A branch line reached through an accessible cleanout is at the straightforward end. A main line with no cleanout and roots in it is at the other. We look at it, tell you what is involved, and quote it free before any work starts.

Several fixtures backing up at once, a toilet that gurgles when the washing machine empties, or water appearing at a floor drain all point at the main line rather than the fixture you noticed. That is worth acting on quickly, because a main line that is close to fully blocked tends to finish the job at the least convenient possible moment.

A small branch line under a bathroom sink does not need the same approach as a root-invaded mainline. We match the method to the pipe, its material, and its age instead of using one machine on everything.
If a line blocks more than once, the blockage is a symptom. A camera shows whether it is grease, roots, scale, a belly in the pipe, or a crack, so you can fix the cause instead of paying to clear it every few months.
Plenty of homes around the valley still have cast iron or older ABS. Aggressive clearing on a thin, corroded line turns a blocked drain into a broken one. We check the material first and adjust.
Before we leave you will know what was in the line and what put it there, whether that is cooking fat, wipes, hair, root intrusion, or a fixture that was plumbed badly in the first place.
One slow sink is a branch line problem. Several fixtures backing up at once, or a toilet that gurgles when the washing machine drains, points at the main line instead. We run the fixtures and watch how the system behaves before touching a machine, because clearing the wrong line is the most common way a drain call ends up needing a second visit. This takes ten to fifteen minutes and it saves considerably more than that.
Wherever possible we work through a cleanout rather than pulling a toilet or going down through a fixture, since that gives the machine a straight run at the blockage and keeps the mess contained. If the property has no accessible cleanout, we will tell you, clear the line by the next best route, and explain what installing one would involve. It is usually a worthwhile bit of work on a house that blocks regularly.
Cabling for most branch lines and straightforward stoppages, with the cutting head sized to the pipe. Hydrojetting where the line is coated in grease or scale, or where roots have found a joint, because high-pressure water scours the pipe wall back to bare material in a way a cable cannot. Most single-fixture clogs take under an hour. A badly blocked main line can take two or three.
A trickle of water proves very little. We run the fixture hard, fill and release a full sink or tub, and on a main line we flush multiple fixtures at once to put real volume through it. If the line only copes with a gentle flow, it is not clear yet and we keep working. This is the step that separates a drain that stays open from one that blocks again next week.
For a line that has blocked before, we put a camera down and show you the footage on the screen. Roots at a joint, a belly holding standing water, scale narrowing an old cast iron run, or a crack letting soil in all look completely different and all need different fixes. You see it yourself rather than taking our word for it, and you get a straight recommendation about whether it needs work now or can be monitored.

Because the clog was opened rather than cleared, or because something structural is causing it. A cable that punches through a grease plug leaves the rest coating the pipe. Roots at a joint will regrow. A belly in the line holds water and collects solids every time. If a drain has blocked more than twice, stop paying to clear it and get a camera down there.
We would rather you did not. Caustic cleaners often fail to shift the blockage, sit in the trap generating heat, and can damage older pipework and seals. They also make the line genuinely hazardous for whoever opens it next. If you have already used one, tell us so we can take precautions.
Cabling drives a rotating cutting head through the blockage. It is quick, effective on most branch lines, and the right first choice for a straightforward clog. Hydrojetting uses high-pressure water to scour the entire pipe wall clean. It costs more and it is what you want for grease, scale, and roots, because it removes the buildup rather than boring through it.
On sound pipe, yes. On a badly corroded cast iron line that is already thin, it can find the weak spot. That is exactly why we camera an old line before jetting it rather than after. If the pipe will not take it, we will tell you and use a different approach.
Most single-fixture clogs are cleared within the hour. A blocked main line typically runs one to three hours depending on access and what is in it. If a camera inspection is needed, add around thirty minutes.
