Clear the blockage
Professional drain cleaning for fixtures, waste lines, and main lines
Snaking and augering for clogged toilets, sinks, tubs, showers, grease traps, waste lines, and recurring main-line blockages.
About this service
A practical approach to drain cleaning.
A slow or stopped drain can be limited to one fixture or point to a blockage farther into the drainage system. Serpent Drain diagnoses the problem before selecting the cleaning approach.
Professional snaking and augering can clear hair, grease, soap scum, debris, and other buildup from residential and commercial lines. The service covers toilets, sink drains, tub and shower drains, grease traps, waste lines, and main-line stoppages.

Questions
What customers ask about drain cleaning.
Why does my system still back up after it was snaked?
Snaking can open a path through a blockage without always removing everything attached to the pipe wall. Grease, sludge, scale, roots, or a visible pipe defect may continue to restrict the line and cause the problem to return. A camera inspection can help identify what remains, and Serpent Drain can then explain whether additional snaking, hydrojetting, descaling, or coordination with a plumber is appropriate.
How much do services cost, and how does billing work?
Serpent Drain uses an initial flat-rate call-out fee. Additional service fees depend on the work performed, because the equipment and time required vary with the line and the problem. Contact the company for a quote. Payment can be made by cash, check, or online payment.
How long does typical drain cleaning take?
The time depends on the affected line, the type and location of the blockage, access, buildup, and whether inspection or a deeper cleaning method is needed. Describe the symptoms when scheduling so Serpent Drain can explain what the visit may involve; an exact duration should not be promised before the line is assessed.
Is professional drain cleaning safe for pipes?
The cleaning method should be selected for the line's material and visible condition. Serpent Drain evaluates the problem and can use camera inspection when more information is useful before snaking, hydrojetting, or descaling. If inspection indicates major deterioration or a repair need, the company can explain that limitation and coordinate with a professional plumber.
