SERVICE №02 — FROM $129
Drain Cleaning & Hydro Jetting
Slow kitchen sink, gurgling tub, floor drain backing up when the washer runs. We cable it, jet it, and show you the camera footage — not just a plunger and a prayer.
For the house where the tub drains overnight, the duplex with a kitchen line that clogs every Thanksgiving, and the restaurant with a grease line on a schedule.
How we handle it
A drain that keeps clogging isn't bad luck — it's a line telling you something. Grease shelf, root intrusion, a belly in the pipe, a wad of 'flushable' wipes. We don't just punch a hole through the clog and leave; we figure out why it happened and give you the straight options.
For standard clogs we run a proper drum cable with the right head for the pipe — not a hardware-store snake. For greased-up kitchen lines and root-choked laterals we bring the hydro jetter: 3,000 PSI of water that scours the pipe wall back to bare cast iron. It's the difference between drilling a hole in the clog and actually cleaning the pipe.
Every main-line job includes a camera pass afterward, on the house. You see what we see — the condition of your lateral, on video, before anyone talks about next steps. Most lines just need the cleaning. When one doesn't, you'll see exactly why.

Drain Cleaning & Hydro Jetting — questions we actually get
Cable or hydro jet — which one do I need?
A cable cuts a path through a clog; a jet cleans the whole pipe wall. First-time clog in a bathroom sink? Cable, $129, done. Kitchen line that's clogged three times in two years, or roots in the main? Jetting is the honest fix. We'll tell you which one you actually need, and the cheaper one when it's a coin flip.
Are the chemicals from the hardware store really that bad?
Yes. Caustic drain openers generate heat that damages older pipes, they turn a partial clog into a solid one, and they make the line hazardous for whoever opens it next — usually us. Hot water and a plunger are fine to try. Skip the lye.
Why does my floor drain back up when the washing machine runs?
The washer dumps 15–20 gallons fast, and if your main has a partial blockage, the floor drain is the lowest opening — so that's where it comes up. It's an early warning. Cleaning the main now is a $129–$349 job; waiting for a full backup on a rainy week is a basement cleanup.
