Drain Cleaning

Clearing everyday clogs in sinks, toilets, tubs, and secondary lines throughout the Capital District.

  • Manual drain clearing

    Hand-auger clearing for slow or blocked sink, tub, and shower drains — fast relief for the clogs that come up most often.

    from $75
  • Toilet auger Popular

    Targeted toilet-line clearing for stubborn flushes and repeat backups, without pulling the fixture unless it’s truly needed.

    from $299
  • Branch / secondary line snake

    Cabling for the branch lines that feed multiple fixtures — the usual culprit when more than one drain in the house is acting up at once.

    from $349
  • House trap clearing & cleaning

    Clearing and cleaning the house trap where it meets the sewer lateral, a common blockage point in older Albany-area homes.

    from $250

Main Lines, Sewer & Jetting

Heavier-duty work on main and sewer lines — snaking, camera diagnostics, hydro jetting, and cleanup after a backup.

  • Main line / sewer snake Popular

    Full-length cabling of the main sewer line to break through roots, buildup, and blockages before they turn into a backup.

    from $449
  • Camera inspection

    A camera run down the line to show exactly what’s going on — root intrusion, bellies, cracks, or offset joints — before we recommend a fix.

    from $399
  • Hydro jetting Popular

    High-pressure water jetting that scours the full diameter of the pipe clean, clearing grease, scale, and roots that a cable can’t touch.

    from $950
  • Drain & pipe descaling

    Mechanical descaling to strip years of mineral and grease buildup off pipe walls and restore lost flow capacity.

    $275–$425
  • Sewage cleanup & disinfect

    Cleanup and disinfection after a sewage backup, handled quickly and thoroughly to get the space livable again.

    from $899

Drain and sewer service built around commercial schedules — restaurants, property managers, and multi-unit buildings.

  • Commercial main line

    Main line clearing sized for commercial volume, scheduled to minimize disruption to your business.

    from $499
  • Commercial floor drain

    Clearing and maintenance for floor drains in kitchens, mechanical rooms, and back-of-house areas.

    from $424
  • Grease trap cleaning

    Pump-out and cleaning to keep grease traps compliant and prevent the slow-drain, bad-odor buildup that leads to a shutdown.

    from $450
  • Parking-garage drain descaling

    Descaling for parking-garage and large-footprint drain systems, scoped and quoted after an on-site assessment.

Frequently asked questions

Do you charge a service call fee?

Yes — a drain service call starts at $75 (commercial from $175) and covers getting a licensed technician to your property to assess the problem. You get a clear price before any clearing or camera work begins.

Why are some prices shown as 'starting at' or ranges?

Drain jobs vary with access, line size, how far the blockage sits, and pipe condition. 'Starting at' reflects a standard clearing; ranges show the typical low-to-high. We confirm the exact price on-site before running a cable or jetter.

Do you offer free estimates?

Yes — free, no-obligation estimates for planned or larger drain and sewer work. Diagnosing an active clog is covered by the service-call fee above.

What if snaking doesn't clear the line?

If a cable won't hold the line, we camera-inspect to find the real cause — roots, grease, a belly, or a broken pipe — and quote hydro jetting or the right repair. You approve the next step first.

Do you handle commercial and recurring drain service?

Yes. We service restaurants, property managers, and facilities — grease traps, floor drains, main lines, and scheduled maintenance. Ask for a quote and we'll build it around your site.
