When You Need Drain Cleaning
Slow drains, backups, and foul odors usually mean buildup or a blockage in the line. In Portland-area homes, common causes include grease, hair, soap, mineral scale, and tree roots in the mainline. A single slow sink might be a small clog; multiple fixtures backing up or gurgling often point to a main sewer or mainline issue. We diagnose with a video inspection when needed so we’re not guessing.
How We Clear Drains
- Snaking. For single-fixture clogs and smaller lines. We use motorized augers to break through blockages.
- Hydro-jetting. High-pressure water clears grease, scale, and roots from the pipe interior. Effective for mainlines and recurring clogs.
- Video inspection. A camera goes into the line so we can see condition, breaks, or root intrusion. We’ll show you the footage and recommend repair if needed.
Emergency Drain Calls
Overflowing toilets, sewage backing into the house, or complete stoppage are emergencies. We treat them as emergency plumbing and dispatch 24/7. For slow drains that aren’t causing flooding, we can schedule same-day or next-day service.
