Drain & Sewer Cleaning FAQ
How much does drain cleaning cost?
Clearing a typical drain clog runs $150–$500. Main-line or sewer blockages, hydro-jetting, and camera inspections cost more, and an actual sewer-line repair is a much larger job.
When do I need a sewer camera inspection?
If drains back up repeatedly, multiple fixtures are slow at once, or you're buying an older home, a camera inspection finds roots, bellies, or breaks so you fix the real cause, not just the symptom.
What causes recurring drain clogs?
Grease and food in kitchen lines, hair and soap in baths, and tree-root intrusion in older sewer laterals are the usual culprits. A one-time clear that keeps returning usually means a line issue worth a camera.
