Plumbing costs vary based on the service, but we utilize transparent, flat-rate pricing. You will always know the exact cost of a water heater repair or drain cleaning service before we begin the work, ensuring no hourly surprises.

What should I do if a pipe bursts in my house?

Immediately locate your home's main water shut-off valve (usually in the basement, crawlspace, or near the water meter) and turn it off to stop the flooding. Then, call our 24/7 emergency dispatch to repair the line and mitigate water damage.

The Root Cause of Denver's Clogged Drains

Denver's mature neighborhoods are beautiful, but the sprawling root systems of our massive Cottonwoods and Elms are a nightmare for underground plumbing. These roots actively seek out the moisture in your aging clay or cast-iron sewer lines, creating microscopic cracks that eventually turn into massive, impenetrable blockages.

Plunging only pushes the problem further down the line, and store-bought acid cleaners eat away at your pipes' integrity, making future repairs more expensive. We don't guess what's clogging your drains. Our Denver technicians use high-resolution cameras to find the exact blockage and deploy commercial-grade solutions to restore your pipes to "like-new" condition.

Denver's Toughest Clogs, Cleared Fast

From slow-draining kitchen sinks to catastrophic main line root intrusions, our Denver technicians have the specialized equipment to find the blockage, clear the drain line, and destroy it for good.

INTERIOR DRAINS

Kitchen & Bathroom Clogged Drain Cleaning

Hair, soap scum, grease, and food waste build up on the inner walls of your pipes over time. Eventually, this sticky sludge chokes off the water flow, leaving you standing in a puddle during your shower or dealing with a kitchen sink that refuses to drain.

We bring in professional-grade augers and cabling equipment to break through localized clogs quickly and safely, clearing every clogged pipe back to full flow. We clear the entire trap and branch line, ensuring water flows freely without damaging your delicate interior fixtures.

SEVERE BLOCKAGES

Main Sewer Line Root Intrusion & Repair

If multiple fixtures in your Denver home are backing up simultaneously, or water gurgles in the tub when you flush the toilet, you have a main sewer line blockage. In Colorado, this is almost always caused by heavy tree root intrusion into aging sewer lines.

We deploy heavy-duty rooter machines equipped with specialized cutting blades to slice through thick roots and dense blockages. We immediately follow up with a camera inspection to ensure the main artery of your home is completely clear, structurally sound, and free of future repair needs.

THE PERMANENT FIX

High-Pressure Hydro-Jetting Drain Cleaning Services

Traditional snaking punches a hole through a clog so water can flow, but it leaves behind the grease and scale on the pipe walls. It's only a matter of time before the debris catches again and the pipe backs up.

Hydro-jetting is a power wash for your Denver plumbing system. We blast multi-directional, highly pressurized water through your lines to completely scour the pipe walls clean and perform thorough drain cleaning without harsh chemicals. It obliterates grease, obliterates roots, and flushes the system completely, providing a long-term reset for your home's infrastructure.

Signs You Need Professional Drain Cleaning

Most drain problems give warning signs well before they turn into an emergency. If any of the following sound familiar, it is time to book drain cleaning services:

01. More than one fixture draining slowly at the same time

02. Gurgling from a tub or sink when a toilet is flushed

03. Water backing up into a floor drain or tub when the washing machine runs.

04. The same clogged drain coming back days after you plunge it.

05. A sewage smell near the main sewer cleanout in your basement.

A single slow sink is usually a local clog, and drain cleaning on that one line fixes it quickly. Several fixtures backing up together points to the main drain line, where the cause is usually roots or a damaged section of pipe. A camera inspection shows which it is before any work begins, so you pay for the right fix the first time.

Basement Backups & Our 3-Step Protection Process

We don't just clear the line; we protect your Denver home's plumbing infrastructure using the best technology in the industry.

1. Video Camera Inspections

We never operate blind. We run HD fiber-optic cameras down your lines to show you exactly what is causing the blockage—whether it's a belly in the pipe, a cracked joint, or a massive root ball.

2. 100% Pipe-Safe Methods

Harsh chemical drain cleaners generate intense heat that warps PVC and corrodes older metal pipes, sometimes requiring costly repair work down the road. Our mechanical and hydro-jetting clearing methods are environmentally safe and will never compromise your plumbing's structural integrity.

3. Preventative Maintenance

Once your lines are clear, we provide honest advice on how to keep them that way. We offer routine maintenance plans to proactively clear roots and grease before they cause a catastrophic weekend backup, and our service offers same-day emergency dispatch for Denver homes when new clogs form.

How to Keep Drains Flowing Between Visits

A few habits keep drains flowing between visits. Wipe grease and food residue from pans into the trash before washing, rather than rinsing it down the kitchen sink. Use a strainer in showers and tubs to catch hair. Avoid flushing wipes, even the ones labeled flushable, because they snag on rough spots in older lines.
‍
If your home has mature trees near the sewer line, ask about our routine maintenance plans, which remove roots and grease before they cause a backup. These steps do not replace professional drain cleaning, but they stretch the time between visits.

What Determines the Price of a Drain Job

Drain cleaning is priced by the job, not by a guess. A slow bathroom sink with a local clog is a short visit. A blockage deep in the main line that needs a camera inspection and hydro-jetting takes more time and equipment. Root intrusion that has cracked or collapsed a section of the line adds sewer repair to the picture.
‍
Our Denver technicians confirm the price with you before work starts, whether the job is routine sewer cleaning or an urgent main line backup. If the camera shows damage that cleaning alone will not fix, you see what it found and hear what the repair involves.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are liquid drain cleaners safe to use?

No. Plumbers strongly advise against using store-bought liquid drain cleaners. They rely on corrosive chemical reactions that can literally melt modern PVC pipes or eat through the bottom of older metal traps. If they fail to clear the clog, you are left with a pipe full of highly toxic, stagnant acid.

Why does my kitchen sink keep clogging even after I plunge it?

Plunging only forces a small opening through the blockage. Kitchen sink clogs are usually caused by a thick, sticky buildup of fats, oils, and grease (FOG) along the pipe walls. The opening quickly closes back up as more debris gets caught in the grease. Professional cabling or hydro-jetting is required to remove the sticky buildup entirely.

‍

What is the difference between snaking and hydro-jetting?

Snaking (or rootering) uses a metal cable with a blade on the end to punch a hole through a solid blockage, like a toy or a root mass. Hydro-jetting uses a specialized hose to blast high-pressure water 360 degrees around the pipe interior, completely washing away grease, sludge, and scale to restore the pipe to its original diameter.

How Much Does It Cost to Clean a Blocked Drain?

It depends on where the blockage is and what it takes to remove it. A local clog in a single sink or tub is the quickest and least expensive job. A blockage in the main line, where a camera inspection and hydro-jetting are needed, takes longer and costs more. We confirm the price before starting, so there are no surprises once the work is under way.

Do Baking Soda and Vinegar Really Unclog Drains?

They can freshen a drain and loosen a light film of soap, but they will not break up a real blockage such as grease buildup, a hairball, or tree roots. If water drains slowly in more than one fixture, or the clog keeps returning, the problem is further down the line and needs a camera inspection and professional cleaning rather than another round of home remedies.

Is It Worth Pouring Salt Down the Drain Every Night?

No. Salt does not dissolve grease or roots, and a nightly routine will not prevent a clog. A better habit is to wipe grease out of pans before washing them and to use a strainer in kitchen sinks and showers. Scheduled maintenance is the dependable way to stay ahead of buildup.
