What Working Drains Really Mean

When your drains work properly, your morning routine flows smoothly. No standing water in the shower while you’re trying to get ready for work. No kitchen sink backing up when you’re cleaning dishes after dinner.

You stop worrying about that slow bathroom drain that’s been getting worse each week. The smell from the kitchen disposal disappears. Your guests don’t have to deal with water pooling around their feet.

Most importantly, you avoid the bigger problems that come with ignored drain issues. Water damage to floors and cabinets. Emergency calls that cost three times more than regular service. The stress of dealing with a plumbing crisis when you’re already busy with everything else life throws at you.

Our Drain Cleaning Process

Here's How We Clear Your Drains

First, we assess what’s causing the blockage. Sometimes it’s obvious – hair in the bathroom drain, grease in the kitchen sink. Other times we need to investigate further to find the real problem.

We start with the least invasive method that will actually work. For most clogs, our professional drain snakes and hydro-jetting equipment clear the blockage completely. We don’t just poke a hole through the clog – we remove it entirely.

After clearing the drain, we test the flow and check for any underlying issues that might cause problems later. If we find something that needs attention, we’ll explain what’s happening and give you options for addressing it.

You’ll know the job is done when water flows freely and stays flowing. We clean up our work area and make sure everything is working properly before we leave.

What's Included in Our Service

Our drain cleaning service covers all the drains in your home. Kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, shower drains, bathtub drains, floor drains, and main sewer lines. We bring the right equipment for each type of blockage.

For Lincoln homes, we often deal with root intrusion from the mature trees throughout the area. Our hydro-jetting equipment handles these tough blockages that simple snaking can’t clear. We also address the mineral buildup common in this area’s water supply.

Every service includes a thorough inspection to identify potential problems before they become emergencies. We’ll let you know if we spot early signs of pipe damage, root growth, or other issues that could cause bigger problems down the road.

Our pricing is straightforward – you know what you’re paying before we start work. No surprise charges for “additional” services that should have been included from the beginning.

How much does drain cleaning cost in Lincoln?

Drain cleaning costs depend on the type of blockage and which drain needs service. Simple sink or shower drain cleaning typically runs $150-250, while main sewer line cleaning costs more due to the specialized equipment required. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying. The cost is almost always less than dealing with water damage from a backed-up drain, and much less than emergency service calls that happen when small problems turn into big ones.
Recurring clogs usually mean the drain wasn’t completely cleared the first time, or there’s an underlying problem causing repeated blockages. Hair, soap scum, and grease build up gradually in pipes. In Lincoln’s older homes, we often find root intrusion or pipe damage that creates catch points for debris. Sometimes the pipe slope isn’t adequate for proper drainage. A thorough inspection during drain cleaning helps identify these issues so we can address the root cause, not just the symptoms.
Yes, we handle all residential drain types – kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, shower drains, bathtub drains, floor drains, and main sewer lines. Each type of drain requires different techniques and equipment. Kitchen drains often have grease buildup that needs hot water jetting. Bathroom drains typically have hair and soap scum that responds well to mechanical cleaning. Main sewer lines might need heavy-duty hydro-jetting for root removal. We bring the right tools for each specific situation.
Most single drain cleaning jobs take 30-60 minutes, depending on the severity of the blockage and the type of drain. Simple clogs clear quickly, while more complex blockages take longer to address properly. Main sewer line cleaning can take 1-2 hours since we need to ensure the entire line is clear and flowing properly. We don’t rush the job – it’s better to spend the time needed to do it right than to have you call us back in a few weeks with the same problem.
Yes, we provide emergency drain cleaning for situations that can’t wait until regular business hours. Sewage backups, multiple drains backing up simultaneously, or situations where water damage is imminent qualify as emergencies. Emergency service costs more than scheduled service, but it’s available when you need it. For non-emergency situations, scheduling regular service during business hours is more cost-effective and usually gets you faster service since we’re not juggling multiple urgent calls.
Professional drain cleaning with proper equipment won’t damage your pipes. We use techniques appropriate for your pipe material and condition. Older cast iron or clay pipes get gentler treatment than newer PVC systems. Chemical drain cleaners from the store are actually more likely to damage pipes than professional mechanical cleaning. Our hydro-jetting equipment uses controlled water pressure that clears blockages without harming pipe walls. If we find pipes that are too fragile for standard cleaning methods, we’ll discuss alternative approaches before proceeding.
