Our Drain Cleaning Process

01

Assessment

We locate the clog using camera inspection or by running water to observe flow and backup patterns.

02

Snaking

A drain snake (auger) is used to break through or retrieve simple clogs in sink, tub, and toilet drains.

03

Hydro-Jetting

For stubborn grease buildup, root intrusion, or main line clogs, high-pressure hydro-jetting scours the pipe walls completely clean.

04

Final Test

Water is run to confirm full flow restoration before leaving. We recommend and explain any findings that indicate larger issues.

Drain Cleaning FAQ for Detroit Homeowners

How often should Detroit homeowners get drain cleaning?
Given Detroit's lake-effect snow from lake st. clair and lake erie (avg 43 inches), most homeowners benefit from drain cleaning at least once a year. Ice dam prevention on low-slope roofs (Nov–March) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Detroit most need drain cleaning?
Brick bungalows and colonials throughout Wayne County and Tudor and Colonial Revival in Grosse Pointe and Birmingham are the most common home types in Detroit and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
Why does my drain keep getting clogged?
Recurring clogs usually indicate a partial blockage deeper in the line, root intrusion, a grease-coated drain, or a drain that needs hydro-jetting rather than just snaking.
Should I use chemical drain cleaners?
Chemical cleaners can clear minor clogs temporarily but damage pipes over time, especially PVC and older cast iron. They also don't remove the full blockage, so clogs return. Professional snaking or jetting is safer and more effective.
What is hydro-jetting?
Hydro-jetting uses water at up to 4,000 PSI to scour the interior of drain pipes completely clean — removing grease, scale, roots, and debris that snaking alone can't eliminate.
Can you clear a main sewer line blockage?
Yes. Main sewer line blockages require professional equipment — a camera to locate the blockage and either a heavy-duty snake or hydro-jet to clear it.
