Drain Cleaning

Cable cleaning, often called drain snaking, is appropriate for many ordinary clogs because it can open or remove a localized restriction without adding services the line may not need.

A sewer camera can be useful when clogs recur, multiple fixtures are involved, roots or damage are suspected, or seeing the accessible line would change the recommendation. Not every straightforward clog needs a camera.

Hydro jetting uses controlled high-pressure water to address grease, sludge, scale, and recurring buildup when access and pipe condition make it appropriate. It is not automatically the right choice for every blockage.

A problem limited to one sink may be in the fixture, trap, or nearby branch line. Kitchen sinks can also be affected by grease, food buildup, or a disposal-related restriction. Buildup farther down a branch can make a clog return after a temporary improvement.

When several fixtures slow or back up together, the restriction may be in a shared branch or the main line. Stop adding water if anything is overflowing, do not combine or repeatedly pour drain chemicals into the backup, and note which fixtures are affected before you call.
