Keep grease out of the drain, including when using a disposal. One sink backing up points us toward its trap or branch first. **Where we get in** Removable trap or a suitable branch cleanout. [Kitchen & sink help ↗]() HOW IT’S CLEARED / PICK A METHOD At the fixture #### Remove local buildup Remove hair and debris caught at the stopper or strainer. A removable trap gives access to buildup just below the sink. Accessible debris is removed at the fixture. The enlarged view shows a local obstruction. A cleanout is a capped opening used to reach the drain with clearing equipment or a camera. Select a fixture to see its access points; the close-up shows each tool working inside the pipe. ### Read the drainage guide without using 3D ### Kitchen sink Grease, food and buildup can collect in the trap and the branch beyond it. Keep grease out of the drain, including when using a disposal. **Access:** Removable trap or a suitable branch cleanout. **Possible methods:** Remove local buildup, Drain cable, FlexShaft cleaning, Camera inspection ### Laundry standpipe Lint and detergent residue can restrict the trap or laundry branch. An overflowing standpipe can also involve pipe sizing or the washer connection. **Access:** Standpipe or an accessible branch cleanout, using a tool sized for that line. **Possible methods:** Drain cable, FlexShaft cleaning, Camera inspection ### Bathroom sink Hair and soap collect around the stopper, tailpiece and P-trap. A blockage can also sit farther along the trap arm. **Access:** Stopper and removable trap first; branch access if the blockage is farther in. **Possible methods:** Remove local buildup, Drain cable, Camera inspection ### Toilet & closet bend Paper, wipes or a foreign object can lodge in the toilet’s built-in trapway. The branch below the floor can clog too. **Access:** A toilet auger protects the bowl. Downstream work may need a cleanout or removal of the toilet. **Possible methods:** Toilet auger, Drain cable, Camera inspection ### Shower drain Hair and soap catch at the strainer, trap and shower branch. A low shower drain may also be where a shared-line backup appears. **Access:** Strainer and drain opening, or a branch cleanout. Tub access often differs from shower access. **Possible methods:** Remove local buildup, Drain cable, Camera inspection ### Shared building drain Waste from the fixture branches meets here. Buildup or an obstruction downstream can affect several rooms at once. **Access:** Accessible full-size cleanout, with the direction of the blockage established first. **Possible methods:** Drain cable, FlexShaft cleaning, Camera inspection, Hydro-jetting, Repair the cause ### Underground sewer lateral Roots can enter defective joints. Scale, displaced joints, a low spot or a damaged section can catch waste on its way to the public sewer. **Access:** Exterior cleanout; inspection and locating help establish where a repair would be needed. **Possible methods:** Camera inspection, FlexShaft cleaning, Drain cable, Hydro-jetting, Repair the cause ### Vent to the roof The vent admits and releases air so traps can keep their water seals. A blocked vent or incorrect venting can cause drainage symptoms without a waste clog. **Access:** Inspect the vent arrangement and trap seals. Roof access requires appropriate fall protection. **Possible methods:** Check venting & traps LOCAL HOMES.

We’ll explain the work and pricing before you decide. ### How much does drain cleaning cost? Tell us which fixture is backing up and what happens when other fixtures run. The line’s access and the type of blockage guide the equipment and price. We explain the proposed work before starting and discuss any additional repair the inspection reveals. [Link to this answer]() ### Do you handle main sewer clogs and camera inspections? Yes. We work on residential fixture drains, branches and main lines, using appropriate cable equipment, FlexShaft cleaning and camera inspection. A camera is most useful when the line is accessible and clear enough to see. [Link to this answer]() ### Do you offer hydro-jetting? We do not operate a hydro-jetter. If pipe condition and the blockage call for jetting, we can refer you to a specialist. The explorer shows how jetting works and when a specialist referral fits. [Link to this answer]() ### Why does the same drain keep clogging? A recurring blockage can come from deposits left on the pipe wall, growing roots or a damaged section. We inspect the route so the next job addresses that cause, whether it needs more thorough cleaning or a pipe repair. [Link to this answer]() ### What should I do before you arrive? Avoid running water into a backed-up line. Clear a path to the affected fixture and any known cleanout. Tell us if a chemical product has been used; do not add another product or mix cleaners. Keep people and pets away from sewage. [Link to this answer]() ### Does a bad smell mean the sewer is clogged? Not necessarily. An unused trap may have dried out, or there may be buildup, a seal problem or a venting defect. Tell us where the odor is strongest and whether the drain is also slow. [Link to this answer]() ### Can you give a second opinion on a sewer replacement quote? Yes. Share the quote and any inspection video through Instant Second Opinion. What the pipe shows, where the problem is, and what a repair would touch should guide the recommendation. [Link to this answer]() ### About the drainage model & technical references The cutaway shows fixture traps, their vents and the drain route to the sewer. Select a fixture to follow that path and see where a blockage or damaged pipe affects the home. - [Charlotte Pipe: PVC DWV fitting geometry & dimensions]() - [ICC: sanitary drainage arrangements]() - [ICC: vents and trap protection]() - [RIDGID: drain cleaning equipment]() - [RIDGID: FlexShaft heads and pipe compatibility]() BASED IN SANDY.
