Drain Cleaning

We offer a comprehensive range of drain cleaning solutions tailored to meet the needs of homeowners.

Custom Solutions

Mechanical Cleaning (Snaking)

We use flexible, high-quality drain snakes to physically break apart or retrieve clogs from kitchen sinks, bathroom drains, and showers. Our snakes are designed to navigate through various pipe bends without causing damage.

Hydro-Jetting

For tougher clogs or to clean the entire length of pipes, we use hydro-jetting. This involves high-pressure water jetting that clears grease, scale, and debris, ensuring pipes are not only unclogged but also thoroughly cleaned, reducing the likelihood of future blockages. For commercial kitchens and facilities, see our commercial drain cleaning page.

Chemical Cleaners

For minor clogs, we use eco-friendly cleaners sparingly. They can help break down organic buildup, but we limit their use to protect your pipes and the environment, and we reach for mechanical or hydro-jetting methods first.

Maintenance & Support

Preventative Maintenance

We recommend monthly enzyme maintenance, which uses bacteria and enzymes to digest organic buildup and helps keep your drains clear and flowing between service visits.

Professional Service

Beyond products, we provide expert drain cleaning. Our technicians assess the issue and apply the most effective method, starting with the least invasive to protect your plumbing system.

Customer Education

We believe in helping homeowners prevent clogs through simple maintenance tips, including what not to flush or pour down the drain to keep everything running smoothly.

We snake kitchen, shower, and main lines, hydro-jet when a line needs a full cleaning, and show you simple habits that keep clogs from coming back. Running a restaurant or facility instead? See our commercial drain cleaning page.

Kitchen sink, shower, or main line – what is the difference?

Kitchen clogs are usually grease and food buildup, shower clogs are hair and soap scum, and a main line clog backs up more than one fixture at once. If several drains are slow or gurgling together, it is the main line and needs attention right away.

What should I never flush or pour down the drain?

No grease or cooking oil, no coffee grounds, no “flushable” wipes, no paper towels, and no feminine or hygiene products. Those are the four things we pull out of Charleston home lines most often.

When is hydro-jetting needed instead of snaking?

Snaking punches through a clog; hydro-jetting scours the full pipe wall. If a line clogs repeatedly, has heavy grease or scale, or a camera shows buildup along the whole run, hydro-jetting is the fix.
