Clogs and slow drains

Clearing a drain is easy. Knowing whether it will clog again in three months is the part worth paying for.

Diagnosis first

What we check before we quote you.

  • Whether it's the fixture trap, the branch line, or the main: they're three different jobs
  • The nearest cleanout, and whether the house has accessible ones at all
  • How far the blockage sits from the fixture
  • For a repeat clog: a camera run, so we're fixing the cause and not the symptom
  • Venting, if the drain gurgles or drains fine then slows

We clear the line and then tell you what was in it. If it's the third time this year that same drain has stopped, clearing it again is a waste of your money. We'd rather camera it and show you the belly, root or offset that keeps catching.
