Clogged Drain Repair Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your drain to understand what’s causing the blockage. We use cameras when needed to see exactly what we’re dealing with – whether it’s a simple clog or something more complex in your main line.

Next, we choose the right method for your specific situation. Minor clogs might need professional snaking. Stubborn blockages get the hydro jetting treatment, which uses high-pressure water to blast away buildup and debris. We explain what we’re doing and why before we start.

After we clear the blockage, we test the drain thoroughly to make sure water flows properly. We clean up our work area and give you straight advice about preventing future problems. If we spot potential issues during the job, we’ll let you know what to watch for.

Kitchen Sink Clog Repair

Complete Drain Cleaning Service

You get more than just a quick fix. Our drain cleaning service includes thorough inspection, professional-grade equipment, and honest assessment of your plumbing system. We handle kitchen sinks, bathroom drains, floor drains, and main sewer lines.

We bring hydro jetting equipment that most companies don’t have. This isn’t just a snake job – we’re actually cleaning your pipes, not just poking holes through clogs. You’ll see the difference in how well your drains flow afterward.

Emergency drain cleaning is available when you need it most. Backed-up drains don’t keep business hours, and neither do we when you’re dealing with a real emergency. We give you upfront pricing so you know what to expect before we start work.

Drain cleaning costs depend on the severity of the clog and which method we need to use. Simple drain snaking typically runs less than complex hydro jetting jobs. We provide upfront pricing after we assess your specific situation, so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start work. Emergency calls may include additional fees for after-hours service, but we’ll explain all costs clearly. Most homeowners find professional drain cleaning costs less than they expected, especially when you consider the time and frustration it saves compared to DIY attempts that don’t actually solve the problem.
Drain snaking uses a flexible cable to break through clogs, which works well for simple blockages like hair or small debris. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to completely clean pipe walls, removing grease buildup, soap scum, and stubborn deposits that snaking can’t touch. Think of snaking as poking a hole through the clog, while hydro jetting actually cleans the entire pipe. Hydro jetting lasts longer and prevents recurring clogs better, but it’s not always necessary for every situation. We’ll recommend the right method based on what’s actually causing your drain problem and what will give you the best long-term results.
We prioritize emergency drain cleaning calls and typically respond within a few hours, depending on the time of day and current call volume. True emergencies – like sewage backups or multiple drains backing up simultaneously – get fastest response. We understand that some drain problems can’t wait, especially when they’re affecting your ability to use your kitchen or bathroom normally. When you call for emergency service, we’ll give you a realistic timeframe and keep you updated if anything changes. We stock our trucks with the equipment needed for most drain cleaning jobs, so we can usually resolve your problem on the first visit rather than scheduling a return trip.
We handle both individual drain clogs and main sewer line blockages. Main line problems are actually more common than most people realize, especially in older neighborhoods around Long Branch. Signs of main line issues include multiple drains backing up at once, gurgling sounds from different fixtures, or sewage odors coming from drains. We use specialized equipment including sewer cameras to locate main line problems and hydro jetting to clear them effectively. Main line cleaning is more complex than individual drains, but it often solves recurring drain problems throughout your house that you might have thought were separate issues.
Professional drain cleaning, when done correctly, won’t damage your pipes. We inspect your plumbing first and adjust our methods based on the age and condition of your pipes. For older or fragile pipes, we use gentler techniques and lower pressure settings. Hydro jetting pressure can be adjusted for different pipe materials and conditions. In many cases, professional cleaning actually helps extend pipe life by removing corrosive buildup that can cause leaks over time. We’ll let you know if we spot any existing pipe problems during the cleaning process, but the cleaning itself won’t create new issues when performed by experienced technicians with proper equipment.
Most homes benefit from professional drain cleaning every 1-2 years, but it depends on your usage patterns and what goes down your drains. Homes with heavy cooking, large families, or older plumbing might need more frequent service. If you’re dealing with recurring slow drains, frequent clogs, or odors, it’s time for professional cleaning regardless of when you last had it done. We’ll give you honest advice about maintenance frequency based on what we find during your service call. Regular professional cleaning prevents major blockages and extends the life of your plumbing system, usually saving money compared to dealing with emergency backups and potential water damage.
