Our Drain Cleaning Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we inspect your drain to identify the exact problem. No assumptions, no one-size-fits-all approach. Camera inspection shows exactly what’s blocking your pipes and where.

Next comes the actual cleaning. For basic clogs, professional-grade snaking equipment removes the blockage completely. For stubborn buildup or tree roots, hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour your pipes clean from the inside.

Finally, you get a clear explanation of what was found and what was done. We test the drain to make sure water flows properly, then clean up the work area. You know exactly what you’re paying for before any work begins.

Everything Your Drains Need

Every drain cleaning service includes a thorough inspection to find the root cause, not just treat symptoms. Camera technology shows exactly what’s happening inside your pipes, so you understand the problem completely.

Keyport homes often deal with unique challenges. Older properties may have cast iron pipes prone to buildup, while newer homes sometimes have installation issues that create recurring problems. Our experience with both means the right solution for your specific situation.

Drain cleaning typically costs between $150-$400 depending on the severity and location of the clog. Simple kitchen sink clogs are usually on the lower end, while main sewer line issues cost more. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay. No hidden fees, no surprises after the job is done. Emergency service outside normal hours may include an additional service call fee, but you’ll know about any extra charges before scheduling.
Snaking uses a flexible cable with a cutting head to break through clogs and pull out debris. It’s effective for most basic blockages like hair, soap buildup, or small objects. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to completely scour the inside of your pipes, removing years of buildup, grease, and even tree roots. Hydro jetting is more thorough and lasts longer, but costs more. We’ll recommend the right method based on what’s actually blocking your drain and your pipes’ condition.
Most drain cleaning jobs take 1-2 hours from start to finish. Simple clogs might be cleared in 30 minutes, while complex blockages or multiple drains can take longer. The inspection and testing add time but ensure the problem is completely resolved. If hydro jetting is needed, expect closer to 2-3 hours for the complete process. We’ll give you a time estimate after the initial inspection, so you can plan your day accordingly.
Absolutely. Recurring clogs usually mean the original problem wasn’t fully addressed, or there’s an underlying issue like pipe damage, improper slope, or buildup that wasn’t completely removed. We use camera inspection to find out why your drains keep backing up, then address the root cause. This might mean hydro jetting to remove years of buildup, or identifying pipe problems that need repair. The goal is solving the problem permanently, not just clearing it temporarily.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency drain cleaning throughout Keyport. Sewage backups, completely blocked kitchen sinks, and other urgent situations get same-day response. Emergency service includes the same thorough inspection and professional cleaning, just outside normal business hours. There’s typically an additional emergency service fee, but you’ll know the total cost upfront. Most emergency calls are resolved the same day, getting your plumbing back to normal quickly.
Professional drain cleaning is safe for older pipes when done correctly. We assess your pipe material and condition before choosing the cleaning method. Older cast iron or clay pipes get gentler treatment than newer PVC systems. Camera inspection shows pipe condition first, so there are no surprises. If pipes are too fragile for standard cleaning, we’ll explain the options and recommend the safest approach. The goal is clearing your drain without creating bigger problems.
