What to know before hiring
Before you compare quotes, know what’s usually included, what affects the price, and what to ask—then compare pros on scope, not just price.
If more than one drain is slow or backing up, the problem is usually the main line, not one fixture.
What this job usually includes
- Clearing the main line through the cleanout
- A camera inspection to find the cause and its location (ask if it's included)
- A written quote if the line needs repair or replacement
Questions to ask before hiring
- Is the camera inspection included, and can I see or keep the video?
- If the line is broken, do you dig or repair it trenchless, and who restores the yard or driveway?
- What's your license number? (Look it up on the state board.)
What affects the price
- Clog vs. roots vs. a collapsed or offset pipe
- Cleanout access: no cleanout means more work to get in
- Depth and location of the break (under a slab, driveway, or a tree)
When not to wait
- Sewage coming up in a tub, shower or floor drain: stop using water in the house
- Several drains slow at once, or toilets gurgle when the washer drains
- Backups that come back soon after a drain was cleared
Common questions
Why does it keep coming back?
Roots, sagging pipe or a break can catch debris again. A camera inspection shows whether clearing is enough or the line needs repair.
Is the line from the house to the street my responsibility?
Often part of it is. Ask your utility or the plumber where your side ends.
