Drain Snaking & Rooter

Some clogs need more than a plunger. Our drain snaking and rooter service uses a motorized cable to cut through stubborn blockages, hair, and roots deep in the line — reaching clogs that surface methods cannot.

Our process

01

Locate

We find the best access point to reach the clog directly.

02

Cable

We feed the snake to the blockage and break it apart at the source.

03

Clear

We pull debris and roots back out so the line runs clean.

04

Test

We run water to confirm the clog is gone, not just pushed down the line.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between snaking and rooter service?

Snaking clears general clogs with a cable; rooter service uses a cutting head to remove tree roots. We bring the right one for the job.

Is snaking safe for older pipes?

Yes — we size the cable and pressure to the pipe so we clear the clog without harming the line.

Why did my clog come back?

A returning clog usually means roots or buildup further in. Rooter service clears the actual cause.
