Here's Exactly What Happens Next

First, our technician assesses your specific drain problem and explains what needs to happen before any work starts. You get upfront pricing so there are no surprises when the job is done.

For most clogs, we’ll use professional drain snakes or hydro jetting equipment, depending on what your pipes need. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to completely clear buildup, grease, and debris that’s been accumulating for months or years.

If it’s a more complex issue, we can run a video inspection to see exactly what’s happening inside your pipes. This way, you’re not paying for guesswork or getting a temporary fix that fails next month. You get a real solution that addresses the actual problem.

What's Included in Professional Drain Cleaning

Every drain cleaning service involves a comprehensive evaluation of the issue, rather than a hasty solution.t professional equipment that’s designed for the job, whether that’s high-powered drain snakes, hydro jetting systems, or video inspection cameras.

Our technician explains what caused the clog and gives you practical advice on preventing future problems. This isn’t about selling you more services—it’s about helping you understand your plumbing system so you can avoid emergency calls.

Kitchen sink clogs, bathroom drain backups, main sewer line issues—our approach changes based on what your specific situation needs. Same-day service is available for most problems, and emergency drain cleaning is available when you can’t wait until tomorrow.

Drain cleaning costs vary based on the severity of the clog and which drains are affected, but you’ll get upfront pricing before any work begins. Simple kitchen sink clogs typically cost less than main sewer line blockages that require hydro jetting. Most homeowners find that professional drain cleaning costs less than they expect, especially when you factor in the time and frustration saved from DIY attempts that don’t work. Emergency service may include additional fees, but you’ll know the total cost before we start working.
Drain snaking uses a flexible cable with cutting attachments to break through clogs and pull out debris. It’s effective for most standard blockages like hair, soap buildup, and small objects. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water streams to thoroughly clean the inside of your pipes, removing years of grease buildup, mineral deposits, and stubborn blockages that snaking can’t handle. Hydro jetting is more thorough and longer-lasting, but it’s not necessary for every clog. We’ll recommend the right approach based on what your specific situation needs.
Emergency drain cleaning response times depend on your location in Allentown and current service demand, but same-day service is available for most urgent situations. When you have sewage backing up into your home or a completely blocked main line, that’s a true emergency that gets priority scheduling. Less urgent issues, like slow-draining sinks, can usually be handled within 24 to 48 hours. The key is calling as soon as you notice a problem rather than waiting until it becomes a crisis—early intervention almost always means faster service and lower costs.
Professional drain cleaning is designed to work safely with all types of plumbing systems, including older homes with original pipes. Our experienced technicians know how to adjust their approach based on your pipe material and condition. For example, hydro jetting pressure can be modified for older or more fragile pipes, and video inspection can identify potential issues before they become problems. The bigger risk is usually leaving clogs untreated, which can cause pressure buildup and eventual pipe damage. Professional cleaning actually helps extend the life of your plumbing system by removing corrosive buildup and identifying small issues before they become major repairs.
Recurring clogs usually mean the original problem wasn’t completely resolved or there’s an underlying issue that wasn’t addressed. Common causes include partial blockages that weren’t fully cleared, tree roots infiltrating sewer lines, or damaged pipes that catch debris. It’s simply a matter of usage habits—putting grease down kitchen drains or flushing inappropriate items will cause problems no matter how often you clean the pipes. A thorough professional cleaning with video inspection can identify why your drains keep backing up and address the root cause rather than just treating the symptoms.
Yes, we handle drain cleaning for both residential and commercial properties throughout Allentown. Commercial drain cleaning often involves different challenges like larger pipe systems, grease traps, and higher usage volumes that require specialized equipment and techniques. Apartment buildings, restaurants, retail spaces, and office buildings all have unique drainage needs that require professional assessment. Commercial properties often benefit from preventive maintenance schedules to avoid disruptions during business hours. The approach and equipment may be different from residential service, but the goal is the same—getting your drains flowing properly with minimal disruption to your operations.
