Our Drain Cleaning Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your drain with a video camera to see exactly what we’re dealing with. We identify the real cause of the blockage, which may include tree roots, grease buildup, or foreign objects, before we start working.

Then we clear the blockage using the right method for your specific situation. That’s hydro jetting to blast away years of buildup. Other times it’s mechanical cleaning for stubborn clogs.

Finally, we test everything to make sure water flows properly and show you the results. You’ll notice the change right away, and we’ll tell you what caused it so you can avoid it.

If water drains slowly, makes gurgling sounds, or backs up completely, you need professional help. Multiple drains backing up at once usually means a main line blockage that requires immediate attention. Foul odors coming from drains indicate buildup that won’t clear with store-bought solutions. If you’ve tried drain cleaners or plunging without success, the blockage is likely too severe for DIY methods. Don’t wait until sewage backs up into your home—that’s an emergency that costs much more to fix.
Regular drain cleaning removes immediate blockages but often leaves buildup on pipe walls that causes clogs to return quickly. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to completely scour the inside of your pipes, removing grease, soap scum, mineral deposits, and tree roots. The difference between pushing debris aside and actually cleaning the pipe is significant. Hydro jetting lasts much longer and is especially effective for recurring clogs or heavily blocked main lines. We use video inspection first to determine if your pipes can handle the pressure safely.
Emergency drain cleaning typically costs more than scheduled service, but we provide upfront pricing before starting any work. Simple clogs might run $150-300, while elaborate mainline blockages requiring hydro jetting can cost $300-600. The exact price depends on the severity of the blockage, time required, and equipment needed. We never add surprise fees or hidden charges. Emergency calls after hours and weekends include a service fee, but you’ll know the total cost before we begin. Most customers find emergency service costs less than the damage from waiting.
Yes, but it requires the right approach and equipment. We always start with video inspection to assess pipe condition before choosing our cleaning method. Older cast iron or clay pipes need gentler techniques than modern PVC. We adjust water pressure for hydro jetting based on what your pipes can handle safely. Our technicians are trained to work with Asbury Park’s older plumbing systems and know which methods work best for different pipe materials. We’d rather take extra time using the right technique than risk damaging your plumbing with aggressive methods.
Most homes benefit from professional drain cleaning every 1-2 years, but it depends on usage and pipe condition. Homes with garbage disposals, large families, or older pipes may need annual service. If you’re constantly dealing with slow drains or using chemical cleaners regularly, you probably need professional cleaning now. We recommend maintenance cleaning before problems develop—it’s much cheaper than emergency calls. After we clean your drains, we can suggest a maintenance schedule based on your specific situation and help you avoid future blockages.
Yes, we provide same-day service for most drain cleaning needs, including emergencies. We understand that drain problems don’t wait for convenient times and can quickly become serious issues. Our emergency service is available 24/7, including weekends and holidays. For non-emergency situations, we typically can schedule service within a few hours during business days. We’ll give you an accurate arrival time and call if anything changes. The sooner we address drain problems, the easier and less expensive they are to fix.
