A slow drain is annoying. A backed-up sewer line is an emergency. We handle both — from the kitchen sink that drains too slowly to the main line backing up into a basement floor drain. Because we start every drain and sewer job with a diagnosis instead of a guess, you only pay for the work your home actually needs.

What's included

Drain cleaning

Professional snaking and augering for kitchen sinks, bathroom drains, tubs, showers, and floor drains that are slow or fully clogged.

Hydro-jetting

High-pressure water jetting scours grease, scale, and debris off pipe walls — the deepest clean for recurring clogs and main lines.

Sewer camera inspection

We send a waterproof camera down the line to pinpoint cracks, bellies, root intrusion, and blockages, so the fix is targeted.

Trenchless sewer repair

Pipe lining and pipe bursting replace failing sewer lines with minimal digging — protecting driveways, mature trees, and landscaping.

Main line clearing

When more than one fixture backs up at once, the main line is usually the culprit. We clear it and confirm flow with the camera.

Root removal

Tree roots are the number-one cause of sewer failures in older NOVA neighborhoods. We cut them out and recommend a long-term fix.

Common signs you need this service

Our process

  1. 1

    Inspect & diagnose

    We talk through the symptoms, then camera the line so we know exactly what we are dealing with before quoting anything.

  2. 2

    Clear the blockage

    We snake or hydro-jet the drain to restore full flow, removing grease, scale, roots, or whatever is in the way.

  3. 3

    Confirm with camera

    A second camera pass verifies the line is clear and shows you the condition of the pipe on screen.

  4. 4

    Recommend a fix

    If the pipe is damaged, we explain your options — spot repair, lining, or replacement — with upfront pricing and no pressure.

Frequently asked questions

How much does drain cleaning cost?

Most standard drain cleanings are a flat, upfront price that we quote before starting. Tougher main-line clogs, hydro-jetting, or jobs that need a camera inspection are priced after we diagnose the line. We confirm the number with you before any work begins, so there are no surprises on the invoice.

What is hydro-jetting and do I need it?

Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the inside of your pipes clean — removing grease, soap scale, and root debris that a cable snake only punches through. It is the best choice for recurring clogs, restaurant-grade grease, and main sewer lines. For a one-off clog, standard snaking is usually enough, and we will tell you honestly which you need.

Can you fix a sewer line without digging up my yard?

Often, yes. Trenchless methods like pipe lining and pipe bursting repair or replace a sewer line through small access points instead of a full trench, which protects your driveway, walkways, and mature trees. We confirm whether your line is a candidate with a camera inspection first.

Why do my drains keep clogging?

Recurring clogs usually mean the problem is deeper than the trap — grease buildup, a partial collapse, a belly in the line, or tree roots growing through a joint. A camera inspection finds the root cause so you stop paying for the same clog twice.

Do tree roots really get into sewer pipes?

Yes — root intrusion is one of the most common causes of sewer backups in established Northern Virginia neighborhoods with mature trees. Roots find tiny cracks and joints, then grow into a dense mat. We remove them and recommend lining or replacement so they cannot return.

Is a sewer backup an emergency?

A main-line backup that pushes sewage into your home is an emergency — stop using water and call us right away. We offer 24/7 emergency response across Northern Virginia and will get a plumber to you fast to protect your home.
