Quick Answers
What homeowners ask us first
How much does drain cleaning cost?
Most residential drains cost $150–$500. A simple sink, tub, or toilet cable runs $150–$250. Main-line cabling is $250–$400. Hydro-jetting (up to 4,000 PSI) for grease, roots, or recurring blockages is $400–$650. Sewer camera inspection is $150 standalone or included with most jet jobs.
Cable or hydro-jet — which do I need?
Cable for a one-time clog; hydro-jet for recurring or grease/root issues. If it's the first clog in years, cabling clears it cheaply. If it backs up every few months, the line wall is coated with grease, soap scum, or root intrusion — cabling just punches a hole through it. Hydro-jetting scrubs the pipe wall back to bare and usually buys you 2–4 years before the next service.
How often should I have drains cleaned preventively?
Homes: every 1–2 years. Commercial kitchens: quarterly. Annual mainline jetting is cheap insurance for older homes with cast iron drains, mature landscaping, or any history of backups. Restaurants and food service should be on a quarterly schedule to stay ahead of grease — including grease trap pumping if applicable.
