Drain Cleaning
Our drain cleaning services address clogs caused by hair, soap scum, grease, and foreign objects using professional-grade snaking and hydro jetting. We prioritize pipe integrity while restoring drainage efficiency for kitchen sinks, bathroom fixtures, and main sewer lines. Regular maintenance prevents recurring backups and extends system longevity.
Sewer Line Repair
We specialize in sewer line repairs using excavation and trenchless methods like pipe lining. Damaged sections are replaced or reinforced to eliminate leaks, root intrusions, and structural failures. Trenchless solutions minimize property disruption while providing durable, long-term fixes for residential and commercial properties.
Hydro Jetting
Hydro jetting employs high-velocity water streams to clear grease, sludge, and tree roots from pipes. This method thoroughly cleans pipe walls, restoring flow capacity without harsh chemicals. Its ideal for commercial kitchens and lines with chronic buildup, offering a non-invasive alternative to traditional snaking.
Camera Inspections
Using advanced sewer cameras, we identify clogs, cracks, and root damage in real-time. This technology enables precise diagnosis of issues like bellies or breaks in sewer lines, allowing targeted repairs. Inspections are recommended during home purchases or recurring drainage problems to prevent future liabilities.

Our emergency team responds immediately to critical issues like sewage backups and frozen pipes. Available 24/7, we resolve urgent plumbing crises with rapid dispatch and on-site problem-solving. Emergency services include drain snaking, hydro jetting, and temporary fixes to mitigate damage until permanent solutions are implemented.

Questions
What causes drains to back up?
Common causes include tree roots, broken pipes, grease buildup, and improper disposal of items like paper towels. Sewer line clogs often require professional hydro jetting or snaking.
When should I call a plumber for a clogged drain?
Call immediately if drains aren’t draining, sewage is backing up, or foul odors occur. Avoid chemical cleaners that damage pipes and schedule professional service promptly.
How much does drain cleaning cost?
Residential drain cleaning starts at $189 for interior drains and $249 for main sewer lines. Prices vary based on clog severity and required methods like hydro jetting.
What is hydro jetting?
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to clear grease, sludge, and roots from pipes. It’s more effective than snaking for severe blockages and leaves pipes nearly new.
Is a clogged drain an emergency?
Yes, main sewer line clogs causing basement sewage backups require immediate attention. Call our 24/7 emergency line to prevent property damage and health risks.
How often should drains be cleaned?
Main sewer lines need annual maintenance, especially with nearby trees. Smaller drains may require snaking every few years to prevent recurring issues.
