Common drain clogs
- Kitchen sinks: grease, food scraps and soap that harden in the pipe.
- Showers and tubs: hair and soap buildup.
- Toilets: wipes, paper towels and other items that don't break down.
- Main drain: roots, scale or a sag in the line that affects every fixture.
One drain or the main line?
If only one fixture is slow, the clog is usually near that drain and a snake often clears it. If several drains are slow at once, or water backs up into a tub or shower, the problem is likely in the main line and may need hydro jetting.

Common questions
Can I use a store-bought drain cleaner first?
Chemical cleaners rarely clear a stubborn clog and can damage older pipe. They also make the job riskier for the plumber who opens the line afterward.
Do I need hydro jetting for a kitchen drain?
Not usually for a single soft clog. Grease that keeps coming back is a better fit for jetting, which clears the buildup from the pipe wall.
Why does my drain keep clogging?
Repeat clogs usually mean buildup left on the pipe wall, roots, or a problem with the pipe itself. Ask for a camera inspection to find out which.
Is drain cleaning available at night?
Calls are answered 24/7. Availability of a plumber depends on location and demand, as explained in the note at the bottom of this page.
