Drains that actually stay open
Snaking clears a path; cameras tell us whether the problem is roots, grease, or a collapsed spot.
Clay mains and PVC both fail differently. Oak and pecan roots hunt sewer vapor in older neighborhoods from Friendswood to Galveston. Kitchen lines clog with grease even when you “never pour oil.” We match the tool to the clog—hand snake, drum machine, hydro jet when grease is the culprit, and camera when backups keep returning.
Where we focus
- Mainline auger work with cleanup that respects your yard when possible.
- Camera locates offsets and bellies so you are not paying for yard digs you do not need.
- Spot repair vs. full replacement explained with video evidence when we have it.
Open the line enough to restore flow and stop active backups.
Camera if repeat issues, mystery odors, or pre-purchase due diligence.
Repair or replace the section that failed—not a blanket upsell on whole-yard pipe.
High water tables after storms can push hydrostatic pressure into floor drains. If you only see gurgling when it rains, the fix may be drainage-related, not just a kitchen clog.
Worth a closer look
Acid and caustic products chew metal traps and rarely fix mains. They also make our job hazardous if splashed back on open skin.
We help identify whether the tap or the house line is at fault before you argue with municipal crews.

FAQ
Hydro jet or snake?
Jetting cuts grease and soft buildup; heavy roots sometimes still need a mechanical cutter. We pick based on line condition and access.
How often should main lines be cleaned?
If you have known root intrusion, annual or biannual cleaning beats emergency weekend backups.
Should I use chemical drain cleaner?
No — acids and caustics chew metal traps, rarely fix mains, and create a safety hazard for the plumber working on the line.
Is it my house line or the city tap?
We help identify the fault point with camera evidence before you argue with municipal crews.
Why do drains gurgle only when it rains?
High water tables after storms push hydrostatic pressure into floor drains — the fix may be drainage-related, not a kitchen clog.
