— What's included

Every job. Same scope.

No upsells. No "extras." Quoted up-front, completed in full.

SCOPE.01
Camera inspection

We scope the line first to see exactly what we're dealing with before any work begins. This prevents unnecessary digging and ensures we target the real problem.

SCOPE.02
Professional clearing

Cable auger or hydro-jetting -- the right tool for the blockage, not a chemical shortcut. We match the equipment to the clog type for a lasting fix.

SCOPE.03
Full flow restored

We clear the line end to end, not just enough to get water moving. This prevents the clog from reforming a few weeks down the road.

SCOPE.04
Prevention advice

What caused the clog and how to prevent the next one. We give you a written list of dos and don'ts specific to your plumbing setup.

— How it works

Three steps. One day.

01
Inspect

Camera scope pinpoints the blockage location and type. No guesswork, no trial-and-error charges.

02
Clear

Mechanical clearing with the right equipment for your specific clog. We verify flow at every fixture connected to the line.

03
Verify

Re-scope to confirm the line is fully open before we pack up. You see the clean pipe on screen before you sign off.

— Common questions

Drain Unclogging, answered.

Will chemicals damage my pipes?
Yes -- store-bought drain cleaners corrode metal pipes and eat through PVC seals over time. We use mechanical methods only, which are safer and far more effective at clearing the full blockage.
How fast can you get here?
Most calls within 2 hours during business hours. Emergency dispatch is available 24/7 for backups, floods, and sewage situations.
What if it clogs again?
If the same line clogs within 30 days, we re-clear at no charge. We also keep your camera footage on file to compare conditions if there's a recurring issue.
Do you scope before quoting?
Always for mainline issues -- the camera tells us exactly what we're dealing with. Single-fixture clogs we can usually quote on the phone based on symptoms and fixture type.
