Emergency Drain Cleaning Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we diagnose the actual problem. Not just where the water is backing up, but what’s causing it and where. We use cameras when we need to see what’s really going on in your pipes.

Then we clear it properly. Sometimes that means snaking. Sometimes it means hydro jetting to blast out years of buildup. We use whatever method actually solves your specific problem instead of just trying the same thing on every drain.

Finally, we test everything to make sure it’s working right and explain what we found. If there’s something you should know about preventing future problems, we’ll tell you. No upselling, just honest information about your plumbing.

What's Included In Our Service

You get a complete drain cleaning, not just a quick snake job. We bring professional equipment including hydro jetting systems that can handle everything from grease buildup to tree roots.

Kitchen sink clogs get special attention because they’re usually grease-related and need different treatment than bathroom drains. We know the difference and use the right approach for each situation.

Emergency calls get the same thorough service as scheduled appointments. We don’t cut corners just because it’s 2 AM on a Sunday. Your drain emergency gets fixed properly, period.

Most basic drain cleaning runs between $150-300 depending on the severity and location of the clog. Kitchen sink clogs are usually on the lower end, while main sewer line blockages cost more because they require heavier equipment. We give you upfront pricing before we start any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying. No surprise fees, no “additional charges” that magically appear on your bill. Emergency calls don’t cost extra just because it’s after hours – you’re already dealing with enough stress without getting gouged on pricing.
Snaking punches a hole through the blockage to get water flowing again. It’s fine for simple clogs like hair or small debris. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to completely clean the pipe walls, removing grease buildup, soap scum, and even tree roots. Think of snaking as making a tunnel through the problem, while hydro jetting removes the problem entirely. For recurring clogs or older pipes with years of buildup, hydro jetting gives you longer-lasting results. We’ll recommend the right method based on what’s actually causing your drain problems.
We typically arrive within 1-2 hours for true emergencies in Matawan. That includes evenings, weekends, and holidays when your main line backs up or your kitchen sink overflows. We keep trucks stocked and ready because drain emergencies don’t wait for business hours. For non-emergency situations, we can usually schedule same-day or next-day service depending on your availability. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when you call, not some generic “we’ll be there soon” that leaves you wondering if you should wait around all day.
We can’t stop you from putting grease down your kitchen sink, but we can show you what’s actually causing your recurring clogs and how to avoid them. Most drain problems are preventable once you know what’s going on. We’ll explain what we found during the cleaning – whether it’s grease buildup, tree roots, or just old pipes that need more attention. For severe cases, we might recommend regular maintenance cleaning or upgrades to prevent future emergencies. But we’re not going to try to sell you a whole new plumbing system when a simple habit change will solve the problem.
Yes, we warranty our drain cleaning services because we do the job right the first time. If the same clog comes back within our warranty period, we’ll return and fix it at no charge. This doesn’t cover new clogs or problems you create by putting inappropriate items down the drain, but it does cover our workmanship. We’re confident in our methods and equipment, so we’re willing to stand behind our work. Most companies won’t offer this because they’re just doing quick snake jobs that don’t actually solve the underlying problem.
Call us immediately if multiple drains are backing up at once, if you have sewage coming up through floor drains, or if you smell sewer gas inside your home. These indicate main line problems that can cause serious property damage and health hazards. Also call right away if water is overflowing onto your floors or if you hear gurgling sounds from multiple fixtures when you use one drain. Kitchen sink backups during meal prep or before events also qualify as emergencies in our book – we understand you can’t just wait until Monday when you have a house full of people to feed.
