Drain cleaning costs vary based on the location and severity of the blockage. Simple sink clogs are less expensive than main sewer line blockages. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work — no surprises. Contact us for a free estimate specific to your situation.
We don't recommend chemical drain cleaners. They can damage pipes (especially older ones), are harmful to the environment, and often don't fully clear blockages. They may temporarily improve flow while leaving the underlying problem. Professional cleaning is safer and more effective.
For most homes, professional drain cleaning every 1-2 years helps prevent major blockages. However, if you have older pipes, large trees near sewer lines, or frequently experience slow drains, more frequent cleaning may be beneficial. We can recommend a maintenance schedule based on your specific situation.
Snaking uses a flexible cable to break through blockages and is effective for most clogs. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to not only clear blockages but also scrub the pipe walls clean, removing grease buildup and scale. Hydro jetting is more thorough but costs more. We'll recommend the best option for your situation.
Prevention tips: use drain screens to catch hair and debris, never pour grease down drains (dispose in trash), run hot water after each use, avoid flushing anything except toilet paper, and consider monthly enzyme treatments for maintenance. Regular professional cleaning also helps prevent major blockages.
