What Working Drains Mean for You

Your morning shower runs clear without that slow backup around your ankles. Your kitchen sink empties completely when you’re cleaning dishes after dinner. No more planning your day around which drains are working and which ones aren’t.

That’s what happens when drain cleaning is done right the first time. You get back to using your plumbing without thinking about it—the way it should be.

The difference isn’t just in the equipment we use or how we clear the blockage. It’s in understanding why your drains clogged in the first place and making sure it doesn’t happen again next month.

How We Clear Your Drains

First, we assess what’s actually causing the blockage. Sometimes it’s obvious—hair, grease, or something that shouldn’t have gone down the drain. Other times, we need to use video inspection to see what’s happening inside your pipes.

Once we know what we’re dealing with, we use the right equipment for your specific situation. That might be high-pressure water jetting to blast away buildup, specialized augers for tough blockages, or targeted treatments for grease and soap accumulation.

After we clear the drain, we test it thoroughly and show you it’s working properly. If we find underlying issues during the inspection—like damaged pipes or recurring problem areas—we’ll explain what you’re looking at and give you options for preventing future problems.

Complete Drain Cleaning Herald

What's Included in Our Service

Every drain cleaning service includes a thorough assessment of the problem, not just a quick fix. We clear the blockage completely, test the drain flow, and clean up our work area when we’re done.

You’ll get upfront pricing before we start any work—no surprises when we’re finished. Our service includes explaining what caused the blockage and practical advice for preventing it from happening again.

For complex blockages or recurring problems, we use video inspection to show you exactly what’s happening inside your pipes. This isn’t an upsell—it’s how we make sure we’re solving the right problem and not just treating symptoms.

How much does professional drain cleaning cost in Herald?

Drain cleaning costs depend on the severity of the blockage and which type of drain needs service. Simple clogs in bathroom sinks or tubs typically cost less than main sewer line blockages that require specialized equipment. We provide upfront pricing after assessing your specific situation, so you know exactly what you’re paying before any work begins. Most homeowners find that professional drain cleaning costs less than they expected, especially when compared to the damage that backed-up drains can cause to floors, cabinets, and personal belongings.

Will drain cleaning damage my older pipes?

Professional drain cleaning is safe for all pipe materials when done correctly. We adjust our methods based on your specific plumbing system—older cast iron pipes get different treatment than newer PVC systems. Our technicians are trained to recognize pipe materials and choose appropriate cleaning methods that clear blockages without causing damage. We avoid harsh chemicals that can corrode pipes over time, instead using mechanical cleaning and high-pressure water jetting that’s calibrated for your system. If we discover pipes that are already damaged or deteriorating, we’ll let you know what we found and discuss your options.

How long does it take to clear a clogged drain?

Most drain cleaning takes between 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the location and severity of the blockage. Simple clogs in bathroom drains often clear quickly, while kitchen drains with grease buildup or main sewer line blockages take longer. We don’t rush the job just to save time—clearing a drain properly means making sure it stays clear. If we encounter a complex blockage that requires video inspection or specialized equipment, we’ll explain what’s involved and give you an updated timeframe. Emergency drain cleaning typically gets priority scheduling, especially for situations involving water backup or potential property damage.

Do you offer emergency drain cleaning services?

Yes, we provide emergency drain cleaning for situations that can’t wait until regular business hours. Backed-up drains that threaten property damage, sewer line blockages, or multiple drains failing at once qualify as emergency situations. Emergency service includes evenings, weekends, and holidays when other companies aren’t available. We understand that drain problems don’t follow a convenient schedule, and water damage can happen quickly. Emergency calls get priority response, though pricing may be different for after-hours service. When you call, we’ll assess whether your situation needs immediate attention or can be scheduled for regular service hours.

Why do my drains keep clogging after cleaning?

Recurring drain clogs usually mean the original problem wasn’t completely solved or there’s an underlying issue causing repeated blockages. Common causes include partial blockages that weren’t fully cleared, damaged pipes that catch debris, or habits that contribute to buildup like putting grease down kitchen drains. Tree roots growing into sewer lines can also cause recurring problems, especially in older neighborhoods. When we encounter drains that have been “cleaned” multiple times, we use video inspection to see what’s actually happening inside your pipes. This shows us whether the problem is incomplete cleaning, pipe damage, or something else that needs to be addressed for a permanent solution.

Can you clean all types of drains?

We clean all residential and commercial drains including kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, bathtubs, showers, floor drains, laundry drains, and main sewer lines. Each type of drain presents different challenges—bathroom drains typically clog with hair and soap buildup, kitchen drains deal with grease and food particles, and main sewer lines can have tree roots or structural issues. Our equipment and techniques are matched to the specific drain type and blockage we’re dealing with. We also clean storm drains and outdoor drainage systems that can back up during heavy rains. If you’re not sure whether we can handle your specific drain problem, call and describe what’s happening—we’ll let you know if it’s something we can resolve.
