Your drains flow freely again within hours, not days. No more standing water in your kitchen sink while you’re trying to get ready for work. No more shower backup that turns your bathroom into a swamp during the morning rush.
The smell disappears completely. Your pipes work the way they’re supposed to work. You get back to your normal routine without wondering when the next clog will hit or how much worse it might get.
Most importantly, you know exactly what you’re paying before we start. No hidden fees, no surprise charges after we’re done, no inflated bills because the job took longer than expected. Just honest drain cleaning services with transparent pricing and real results.
We’ve been handling Westwood’s drain problems since 2007. We’ve seen what this area’s constant rain does to drainage systems—the seasonal backups, the pipe stress from freeze-thaw cycles, the issues that hit right when you’re hosting family or dealing with other priorities.
Westwood’s older neighborhoods have unique plumbing challenges. Many homes still have original cast iron or clay pipes that need careful handling. We know which streets flood first during heavy rains, which areas get the worst tree root problems, and how the local soil conditions affect drainage systems.
We’re not the biggest plumbing company around, and we’re not trying to be. We’re the team that shows up when we say we will, fixes what actually needs fixing, and explains everything in plain English so you can make informed decisions about your home.
First, we figure out what’s actually wrong. Our camera inspection equipment shows us exactly where the problem is and what’s causing it—tree roots, grease buildup, pipe damage, or just years of accumulated debris. No guessing, no unnecessary work, no “let’s try this and see what happens.”
Then we clear it using the right method for your specific situation. Simple clogs get professional-grade snaking that removes the blockage without damaging your pipes. Stubborn problems get hydro jetting—high-pressure water that clears everything, including buildup on pipe walls, without harsh chemicals that can damage Westwood’s older plumbing systems.
Finally, we make sure it’s actually fixed and stays fixed. We test the water flow, run the camera again if needed, and clean up completely. You get a 7-day warranty on drain cleaning work, plus a full explanation of what we found, what we did, and what you can do to prevent future problems.

Every drain cleaning service includes camera inspection so you can see exactly what’s wrong with your pipes. No guesswork, no selling you services you don’t need. You see the same footage we see, so there are never questions about what needs to be done or why.
Westwood’s weather creates specific drainage challenges that most homeowners don’t realize until it’s too late. Heavy spring rains overwhelm systems that seemed fine all winter. Fall leaves clog outdoor drains and create backup problems. Winter freezing shifts pipes and creates new weak spots that become major problems during spring thaw.
We handle all of it with the right equipment for each situation. Kitchen sinks clogged with grease buildup get different treatment than bathroom drains blocked by hair and soap scum. Main sewer lines backed up from tree roots or pipe damage require hydro jetting equipment that can clear decades of accumulated debris. Our methods work on everything from new PVC pipes to century-old cast iron systems common in Westwood’s established neighborhoods.
Most drain cleaning jobs in Westwood run between $150-$400, depending on the location and severity of the clog. Simple kitchen or bathroom sink clogs typically cost $150-$200 to clear completely. Main sewer line cleaning runs $200-$300 for standard blockages, more if extensive hydro jetting is needed.
We give you an upfront price before we start any work—no hourly charges that keep climbing, no surprise fees for “extra” equipment, no inflated costs because the job took longer than expected. You know exactly what you’re paying whether the work takes 30 minutes or 3 hours.
The investment often pays for itself by preventing much bigger problems. A $200 drain cleaning now beats a $3,000 pipe replacement later when tree roots completely destroy your main line, or thousands in water damage when a backup floods your basement.
Snaking uses a flexible metal cable with a cutting head to break through clogs and pull out debris. It works well for simple blockages like hair, soap buildup, food particles, or small objects that kids flush down toilets. Most residential drain problems can be solved with professional-grade snaking equipment.
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water—up to 4,000 PSI—to completely clear pipes and scrub buildup from the walls. It’s more thorough and handles stubborn clogs that snaking can’t touch, like years of grease accumulation, tree roots, or mineral deposits in older Westwood homes with hard water.
We recommend hydro jetting for recurring clogs, slow drains that keep coming back despite snaking, or when camera inspection shows significant buildup along pipe walls. It costs more upfront but often prevents future problems better than snaking alone, especially in homes with ongoing drainage issues.
Most drain cleaning jobs take 1-2 hours from start to finish, including setup and cleanup. Simple sink or shower clogs often clear in 30-45 minutes once we locate the problem. Main sewer line cleaning typically takes 1.5-2 hours, including camera inspection before and after cleaning.
Complex jobs with multiple blockages, extensive buildup, or access challenges can take 3-4 hours. We’ll let you know upfront if we discover something that will extend the timeline significantly, and explain why the extra time is necessary.
The time includes everything—camera inspection to locate the problem, actual cleaning work, testing to make sure water flows properly, a final camera check if needed, and complete cleanup. We don’t rush through jobs to get to the next call. Your drains need to actually work properly before we consider the job finished.
Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency drain cleaning for situations that can’t wait until regular business hours. Sewage backups, multiple drains backing up simultaneously, basement flooding from drain problems, or any situation creating health hazards qualify as emergencies requiring immediate response.
Emergency calls get priority response, usually within 2 hours in Westwood. We keep fully equipped trucks ready specifically for emergency situations, so we can resolve most problems on the first visit without having to return with different equipment.
Emergency service does cost more than scheduled appointments—typically 1.5 times regular rates for nights and weekends. But we’re completely upfront about emergency pricing when you call. Sometimes waiting until morning turns a manageable $300 problem into a $2,000 disaster with water damage and multiple system failures.
Professional drain cleaning, done correctly with proper equipment, won’t damage your plumbing system. We adjust our methods based on your home’s age, pipe materials, and current condition. Many Westwood homes have older cast iron, clay, or even original lead pipes that require different techniques than modern PVC systems.
We always start with camera inspection to see the actual condition of your pipes before choosing cleaning methods. If we find fragile sections, corrosion, or existing damage, we’ll recommend the gentlest effective approach and explain any limitations upfront.
Hydro jetting requires extra caution with older pipes, but it can often be done safely at reduced pressure settings. Interestingly, chemical drain cleaners from hardware stores are actually more likely to damage older plumbing than professional mechanical cleaning methods. Those chemicals can corrode already-weakened pipes and create expensive problems.
Most Westwood homes benefit from professional drain cleaning every 1-2 years as preventive maintenance. Homes with heavy usage, older plumbing systems, large families, or recurring problems may need annual cleaning to stay ahead of issues.
Certain situations require more frequent attention—kitchen drains handling lots of cooking grease, homes where people have long hair, properties with mature trees near sewer lines, or houses in areas prone to seasonal flooding. We’ll give you a realistic maintenance schedule based on what we actually find during your service.
Preventive cleaning costs much less than emergency repairs and prevents the stress of dealing with backups during inconvenient times. Regular maintenance also lets us catch developing problems early, before they become major headaches, expensive pipe damage, or health hazards from sewage backups.
