The Quality & Integrity You Expect
A slow or backed-up drain gets snaked and cleared. But if this is the second or third time on the same drain, we put a camera down it first, because the same blockage keeps coming back for a reason.
Most slow or blocked drains are a straightforward clear: hair, grease, or soap scum built up in the trap or the first few feet of line. We snake it, clear it, and you're done.
Where we do things differently is on repeat calls. If a drain has backed up more than once, snaking it again treats the symptom and leaves the cause in place. We'll recommend a camera inspection instead, so the second visit actually fixes it instead of buying you a few more weeks.

Hair and soap scum, the most common slow-drain call we get.
When more than one fixture is slow or backing up at once, it's usually the main line, not any one drain.
Tell us which one and we'll recommend the right visit, snake or camera.
