Clogged Drain? Cleared Today, Guaranteed.

The most common clog in any house, and the one most likely to come out with a drain claw before you call anyone. If the water drains slowly rather than not at all, and it is only that one fixture, this is usually it. If it comes back within weeks, the buildup is further down the line than a claw reaches.

Grease goes down warm and hardens on the pipe wall a few feet in, then catches everything after it. Boiling water and store-bought chemicals rarely reach it and the caustic ones can damage older pipes. A cable or hydro-jet clears the wall properly rather than punching a hole through the middle of it.

Tucson landscaping finds water. Roots enter through joints in older clay or cast iron pipe and grow into a mat that catches everything. The tell is more than one fixture backing up at once, or a toilet that gurgles when the washer drains. This needs a camera before anyone quotes, because the fix depends on how much pipe is involved.

A section that has sagged collects standing water and debris, so the line clogs again a few weeks after every clearing. If you have had the same drain cleared more than twice, the clog is a symptom and the pipe is the problem. A camera shows it in minutes and stops you paying for the same clearing over and over.

Wipes marketed as flushable are not, and they are the single most common cause of a toilet that will not clear with a plunger. If a plunger and an auger do not move it, stop before you overflow the bowl. If the tub backs up when you flush, the blockage is past the toilet and in the main line.

Why does my drain keep clogging after it is cleared?

A clog that returns is a symptom, not the problem. The usual reasons are roots growing back through a joint, a bellied section of pipe collecting standing water, or heavy scale buildup narrowing the line. If the same drain has been cleared more than twice, a camera inspection is worth more than another clearing, because it tells you whether you are paying to treat something that needs repairing.

Are chemical drain cleaners safe to use first?

We would rather you did not. They often fail to reach a grease or root clog, the caustic ones can damage older pipes and fixtures, and if they do not clear the line the technician then has to work in standing chemicals. A plunger or a drain claw is fine to try. After that, call.

Multiple drains are backing up at once. What does that mean?

That points to the main line rather than any single fixture. When one drain is slow the problem is usually local; when the tub backs up as you flush the toilet, or the washer drain comes up in a shower, the blockage is downstream of everything. That is a same-day call, because the next thing to back up is usually the lowest fixture in the house.

How much does drain clearing cost in Tucson?

It depends on access and what is in the line. A straightforward fixture clog through an existing cleanout is at the low end. Main line work, hydro-jetting, or anything needing a camera costs more. You get an upfront price before we start, and if we recommend a camera we tell you why first.

Do you guarantee the drain stays clear?

We stand behind our drain clearing. If a line we cleared backs up again in a way that points to our work rather than to a pipe defect we already flagged, we come back and put it right. Where a camera shows roots or a broken pipe, we tell you that up front rather than clearing it repeatedly and letting you find out later.
