Drain Cleaning Services
We clean all types of residential and commercial drains, including sinks, showers, tubs, toilets, floor drains and main sewer lines. The photos below show a few examples of the drains we service. Whatever drain is giving you trouble, call us to discuss the problem.
Kitchen Drains
Food debris, grease and soap can slow a kitchen drain or stop it completely. We assess the blockage and clear the affected line so the sink can drain again.
Bathroom Drains
Hair and soap buildup can leave water standing in a shower, tub or bathroom sink. We help with slow drains and recurring bathroom clogs.
Floor Drains
A backed-up basement or utility room drain can involve more than the opening in the floor. We check the symptoms to help identify where the restriction may be.
If a toilet backs up or several fixtures stop draining together, let us know when you call. Those symptoms may point to a restriction farther along a shared drain or sewer line.
Warning Signs
A drain does not have to stop completely before it needs attention. Call us if you notice:
- -Water draining slowly or standing in a sink or tub
- -A clog that returns shortly after being cleared
- -Gurgling when another fixture drains
- -Water rising in a shower or floor drain when you flush
- -Several drains backing up at the same time
A persistent drain odor also deserves attention, although a blockage is only one possible cause.
Our Process
We start with the symptoms and recommend a method suited to the drain. A recurring clog may need a different approach than a first-time sink blockage.
01
Assess the Problem
Tell us which fixtures are affected, when the problem started and what you have already tried. We assess the drain and available access points.
02
Discuss the Service
We discuss the recommended approach. Ask us about pricing and what the service involves before work begins. Cabling is a common way to open a slow or stopped drain line.
03
Address the Cause
If symptoms suggest a deeper issue, we may recommend a camera inspection or another service. Cleaning can clear a blockage, but it cannot repair a broken pipe.
Hydro-Jetting
Pressurized water can clean grease and other buildup from inside a drain line. Suitability depends on the pipe condition and the type of obstruction.
Descaling
When hardened deposits restrict a pipe, descaling may be an option. We assess whether the buildup and pipe condition make this treatment appropriate.

Common Questions
Do you offer emergency drain cleaning in Des Moines?
Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency service in Des Moines and surrounding Central Iowa communities. Call (515) 471-3333 to describe the backup and ask about availability. For an active backup, call instead of waiting for a response to an online quote request.
How much does drain cleaning cost?
Pricing depends on which drain is blocked, how accessible the line is and what equipment is needed. A kitchen sink clog can require different work than a shared drain line backup. Tell us what is happening and ask about the recommended service and pricing before work begins.
Why do multiple drains back up at the same time?
Several fixtures backing up together can indicate a blockage in a shared drain or main sewer line. If running one fixture causes water to rise in another, stop using the affected plumbing and call for service. An inspection can help locate the problem.
Why does my drain keep clogging?
Repeated clogs can come from buildup, root intrusion or a damaged pipe. Clearing an opening may restore flow without resolving the underlying issue. A camera inspection may help determine whether further cleaning or pipe repair is appropriate.
Is hydro-jetting the same as drain cleaning?
Drain cleaning is the broader service. Cabling uses a flexible cable and cutting head to open a blockage. Hydro-jetting uses pressurized water to clean the line. The choice depends on the obstruction and pipe condition; hydro-jetting is not appropriate for every pipe.
What should I do before the technician arrives?
Stop using fixtures that cause a backup and clear a path to the affected drain or access point. Keep people and pets away from wastewater. Tell us if you have used a chemical drain cleaner so the technician can take appropriate precautions.
