Drain cleaning is the professional clearing of blockages, buildup, and intrusions in residential or commercial drain and sewer lines. It covers everything from a single clogged kitchen sink to a full main sewer line backup affecting an entire home.
The two most common methods are drain snaking — using a rotating cable to break through a blockage — and hydro jetting, which uses high-pressure water to scour the inside of the pipe wall clean. Which method is right depends on the type and location of the blockage.
A rotating cable breaks through the blockage and pulls it out. Best for hair, grease, and single-fixture clogs. Fast and affordable.
$100 – $300High-pressure water scours the entire pipe wall. Best for recurring clogs, grease-heavy lines, root intrusion, and older pipe.
$350 – $650A waterproof camera travels the pipe to diagnose exactly what's causing the problem — before any clearing work begins.
$150 – $350Full clearing of the lateral from house to street main. The right fix when multiple fixtures drain slowly or back up at once.
$250 – $500Urgent after-hours call-outs including nights, weekends, and holidays. After-hours surcharge typically $75–$150.
$300 – $600+Restaurants, offices, and industrial facilities. High-capacity equipment, grease trap service, and preventive maintenance plans.
