How It Works

How We Clear a Clogged Drain

No guesswork and no surprises: you know what we found and what it will cost before anything beyond the clog is done.

  1. Diagnose the drainage problem

    Our technicians accurately diagnose the drainage problem and inform you of what the problem is.

  2. Clear the blockage

    A drain snake or drain cleaning machine punches through the blockage or hooks it so it can be pulled out. Chances are the snake will take care of the blockage within a few minutes.

  3. Explain the cause

    We will quickly and efficiently remove the cause of blockage and tell you in plain language just what it was that was causing the clogged drain and the best ways to keep that sort of blockage from occurring in the future.

  4. Long-term options, only with your approval

    No further action (such as installing drain machines) is taken without your consultation and approval, and only after you completely understand what we will be doing and how much it will cost.

What is a Drain Snake?

Yes, it sounds like something out of a comic book, but a drain snake is actually a very basic plumbing tool. A drain snake (also known as a plumbing snake) is a long, flexible metal tube that is pushed up through the drain and through whatever is clogging up the drain, ensuring that the blockage is flushed (or removed) in order for the pipe to once more drain effectively. This works on everything from sinks and toilets, to tubs and washing machines.

How Effective is a Drain Snake?

Chances are that the drain snake will take care of your drain blockage within a few minutes. Drain snakes are very effective because the drain snake can be manipulated by a crank that will either punch right through the blockage, or hook it so that it can be pulled out, removing the cause of your blocked drain.

However, depending on the nature of the blockage, it may be necessary to install a drain machine or other device that will prevent such blockages from occurring in the future.
