Shower or tub drains not draining
properly after use
Multiple drains backing up
throughout the house

Water pooling

Recurring clogs
in the same location
These issues often start small but can quickly become major problems affecting your entire plumbing system. Professional drain cleaning addresses both the symptoms and underlying causes.
Our Residential Drain Cleaning Services
Drain Clog Service
Drain backing up in the middle of the night? Sink won’t drain before a big gathering? Our experienced team is ready to respond quickly and get your plumbing flowing again.
We handle:
- Main sewer line clogs
- Kitchen sink and grease blockages
- Shower, tub, and bathroom drain backups
- Whole-house drain stoppages
High-Pressure Hydro Jetting
For stubborn buildup, especially in kitchen lines with years of grease or sludge, our hydro jetting service blasts pipes clean with
high-pressure water. It’s safe, powerful, and highly effective for deep cleaning without digging.
Great for:
- Kitchen sink grease buildup
- Roots, sludge, and heavy debris in residential main lines
- Preventive cleaning to avoid future blockages
Cast Iron Pipe Descaling
Older homes in Richland, Kennewick, and Pasco often have cast iron plumbing that builds up scale inside over time. This scale reduces flow and can catch debris, leading to repeat clogs. We use special rotary tools to safely remove hardened scale and restore full flow without replacing the pipe.
Full-System CCTV
Drain Line Inspections
After clearing a drain, we don’t just leave you guessing. Our drain inspections use high-definition CCTV cameras to show exactly what’s going on inside your plumbing system, from your kitchen sink to your main line. That means no guesswork, just clear answers.
We’ll show you:
- The condition of your pipes
- Signs of cracks, root intrusion, or sagging
- Areas of scale, grease, or debris buildup
- Any damaged or improperly sloped sections
Then, we give you honest, straightforward options to fix it the right way, whether that’s a repair, replacement, or preventive maintenance.

FAQs
COMMON DRAIN CLEANING QUESTIONS FROM HOMEOWNERS?
How often should I have my drains professionally cleaned?
For most homes, annual professional cleaning prevents major issues. Homes with heavy usage or older plumbing may benefit from bi-annual service.
How Regularly Should I Get My Drains Cleaned?
We recommend getting professional drain cleaning services at least once every year.
How Can I Avoid Blockages in the First Place?
Investing in regular drain cleaning services, avoiding pouring food particles and grease down the drain, and using a drain strainer to catch hair, food scraps, and other debris can go a long way in keeping your drains clog-free for a long time.
Are chemical drain cleaners safe to use?
While occasionally useful for minor clogs, frequent use of chemical drain cleaners can damage pipes over time. Professional leaning is safer and more effective.
When Should I Call an Expert?
We recommend contacting our team as soon as you notice or suspect a clogged drain. Ignoring a drain issue can result in a sewer backup, which can be unsanitary and costly to clean up.
