Kitchen sink, tub, floor drain or a main line backing up into the basement — we clear it, show you what caused it and tell you how to keep it from coming back. Rated 5 stars by 200+ Cleveland customers.
Drain clearing is the core of what we do. Our team has spent more than 20 years snaking drains in Cleveland homes and rental properties, and our trucks carry everything from small hand cables for sinks to heavy sectional machines for 100-foot main lines.
Drains we clear every day
- Kitchen sink lines packed with grease and food
- Bathroom sinks, tubs and showers clogged with hair and soap
- Toilets and toilet lines
- Basement floor drains and laundry tubs

Snaking vs. hydro jetting
A drain snake (cable machine) drives a cutting head through the clog and opens the line. It's fast and the right first step for most clogs. If a line keeps clogging from grease, scale or roots, hydro jetting scrubs the entire pipe wall clean with high-pressure water and lasts much longer. We'll tell you which one your line needs — and we won't upsell jetting when a snake will do.
Why old Cleveland drains clog
Much of the west side was built before 1960. Cast iron drains scale up on the inside until a 4-inch pipe acts like a 2-inch one, and clay sewer laterals have joints every few feet that tree roots push into. Clearing the clog is step one; a quick camera look tells you whether you have a one-time clog or a pipe that needs attention.

Common questions
Drain cleaning & snaking FAQs
What if my drain keeps clogging after it's cleared?
That usually means roots, scale or a damaged pipe. Our $199 camera drain scope shows exactly what's inside the line, with a full report and video, so you can fix the cause instead of clearing the same clog again.
Do you clear main sewer lines?
Yes. Main lines are our specialty. We clear them from a cleanout, a toilet pull or the roof vent, and can install a cleanout if there isn't one.
Can you come today?
Usually. We're based on the west side and keep openings for same-day drain calls. Sewage backups get priority.
Do you offer a warranty on drain cleaning?
Ask about our guarantee when you book. If a line we cleared clogs again soon, call us and we'll make it right.
