Drain Cleaning & Pipe Repair

Clear drains, repaired pipes, no repeat visits.

Drain Cleaning & Pipe Repair

What's Included

From a single slow bathroom sink to multiple buried lines that need to be exposed and repaired, our team clears clogs at the source and repairs or replaces damaged pipe sections with clean, code-compliant workmanship. We use hydro-jetting and motorized snaking to fully clear lines rather than just punching a temporary hole through the blockage.

  • Hydro-jetting for grease, sludge, and scale buildup
  • Motorized drain snaking for tree roots and solid clogs
  • Underground pipe locating and targeted excavation
  • Pipe section repair and replacement (copper, PVC, PEX)
  • Kitchen, bathroom, floor drain, and main line service
  • Preventive maintenance jetting to avoid repeat clogs

Every Job Includes

  • Diagnosis of the actual cause of the clog, not just symptom relief
  • Careful excavation with turf and hardscape protection
  • Pressure testing of repaired sections
  • Trench backfill and site restoration
  • Follow-up guidance to help prevent recurring blockages
FAQ

Drain Cleaning & Pipe Repair — FAQ

What's the difference between snaking and hydro-jetting?

Snaking mechanically breaks through a clog, while hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the full interior of the pipe — removing grease, scale, and root hair rather than just opening a channel through the blockage.

Why does the same drain keep clogging?

Recurring clogs in the same location usually point to a structural issue — a bellied pipe, root intrusion, or a partial collapse — that snaking alone won't fix. A camera inspection can confirm the cause.

Can you repair pipe without digging up my whole yard?

Whenever possible, yes — we target the excavation to the damaged section only, and use trenchless methods on sewer laterals when the pipe condition allows it.
